Cat Casual (aka William Benton) and The Final Word, featuring Steve Shelley from Sonic Youth, will be heading a FREE show at Main Drag Music. We’ll all get to enjoy Benton’s “psyche-inspired, cinematic, troubadour-ish persona” and Shelley’s legendary and superb drumming. Did we mention FREE?!!

Here’s a nice review from Taylor Wallace-Riegel at KUTX radio in Austin.

Hide and Shine’s latest release is a sonically-diverse, and poetically profound journey of personal transformation, inter-dimensional existence, and spiritual awakening.

“Hide and Shine have envisioned, performed, and recorded an album that is equal parts muscular and brutal instrumentation pushing against haunting and catchy melodies and lyrics.”

“If there is a goddess of music, I wish and hope that she blesses and lifts this music to the highest levels possible.  The entire world should have the opportunity to be moved by Hide and Shine.

Matt Wallace, Record Producer
