Dead End Angels

It's hard to imagine anything much better than roadtripping to a 70-degree, end-December Saturday afternoon at Gruene Hall to see a hot new band cranking out the tunes.

And Scott Melott's Dead End Angels definitely qualify as a hot new band.

Those guys get better every time we see them, and yesterday was no different. Plus they keep on cranking out good new stuff while reworking the old (Austin Dawn has a totally different sound now). Which I guess you have to do if you're gonna fill up a four-hour set at Gruene.

We enjoyed the music. The jeep enjoyed the roadtrip. Scott and the band seem pumped and ready to go into the studio in a month or so to cut a CD. It's all good.
