VIDEO : Chris Brokaw – “Danny Borracho”, live in Austin, October 13
Chris Brokaw – live at Austin’s End Of An Ear Records, Saturday October 13
Fully aware that many of you are either too cheap to see his solo show opening for Mono that night or the Mohawk or you’re doing to something (ANYTHING) to avoid the hordes of hackey-sac enthusiasts coming in and out of Zilker Park that day, Chris has graciously agreed to perform at one of our favorite record stores next Saturday night. He’ll be performing selections from the newly released ‘Gambler’s Ecstasy’ LP/CD and shall gladly sign records or CD’s afterwards. Preferably his own, but if for some strange reason you think it would be good to own a Pentangle or Nurse With Wound record with Chris’ signature on it, I’m sure something can be worked out.

The Golden Boys are playing a free show for the Austin Chronicle’s Paper Cuts series on Tuesday, May 15. This is terrific news because we’ve been sitting around for weeks wondering what chain of events would have to occur for the band to allowed to play in front of Quiet Company fans. You might even say it’s a lifetime dream come true.
If, however, a promotional event for the local weekly isn’t to your liking, you can see The Golden Boys on June 16 at Austin’s Scottish Rite Theatre, supporting Quintron and Miss Pussycat.
We’ll have news shortly about Chris Brokaw’s forthcoming autumn full-length, along with new albums from Burnt Skull, James Arthur’s Manhunt and a reissue of Obnox’s ‘I’m Bleeding Now’ (Smog Veil, 2011). Early next year, we’re looking forward to new albums from a pair of Austin bands, The Gospel Truth and Sweet Talk.
