Forever Changes and The Texas Garage Project at the Highball July 17th

Sunday night's "Texas English II: Plague of the Zombies" at The Highball was a rousing success (Chase Hamblin and the boys from Picture Book blew the doors off the place, and my co-workers from Uncle Billy's Lake Travis put the bar sales through the roof), and Mal Thursday's Texas Tyme Machine will return to the swanky ballroom and bowling emporium on July 17 with a killer double bill featuring Austin's ultimate Arthur Lee and Love tribute Forever Changes and the debut appearance of The Texas Garage Project:

'Teen a-Go-go' with the Ugly Beats at the Alamo

Episode #8 of Mal Thursday's Texas Tyme Machine podcast will be "Fort Worth Teen Scene, Part 2" featuring guest DJ Melissa Kirkendall, director of Teen a-Go-Go, the rockin' documentary about Ft. Worth-area garage bands of the mid-'60s. The Texas Tyme Machine concert series is sponsoring, along with End of an Ear and Room Service Vintage Furniture, the Music Monday screening of Teen a-Go-Go at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz at 9:30 on April 11th.
