Rock & Roll Weekend

Awesome song by San Antonio's very own Far Crys...

SA Rock & Roll Weekend!

Big Drag

SPIN Magazine has a sweet little list of The 100 Greatest Bands You've (Probably) Never Heard and they totally nailed it with the closest thing Taco Land ever had to a house band with San Antonio's answer to the cement city Beach Boys, the mighty Big Drag!

Directly from SPIN:

BAND NAME: Big Drag
A trio from San Antonio who embodied neighboring Austin’s slacker ethos to a fault, the band melded the Jesus and Mary Chain’s fuzz and the Ramones’ three chords to sunny surf pop to create three-minute koans in the early 90s. Making believers of Yo La Tengo when they rolled through town, YLT appropriated Big Drag’s cover of the Beach Boys’ “Little Honda” (right down to the one-note guitar solo) for their own I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One.

To be continued...

For the complete list of 100 artists, check out the August 2009 issue of SPIN.

Rest in Peace Manny!

Sad news y'all. San Antonio's very own Snowbyrd drummer and executive director of San Anto Cultural Arts Manuel Castillo passed away yesterday evening after a short battle with cancer. He was 40.

Rest In Peace Manny - say howdy to Ram for me!
