Hard Luck Song Swap at Sagebrush

By: Laurie Gallardo

Today’s Austin Music Minute heaps praises upon the ATX host-with-the-most, Denis O’Donnell, and rightly so. The proprietor of South Austin venue Sagebrush, O’Donnell is also a musician (East Cameron Folk Core 4-lyfe, and don’t leave out The Bread), big time music lover and music supporter, and all-around badass. And he’s continuing something of a tradition that began at his former E. 7th St. dive, Hard Luck Lounge. Annnd, in case you missed it: Shout-outs and praises are also in order for fellow musician/all-around badass who kept that swap lit and kicked it up several notches, Tate Mayeux (Mayeux and Broussard), leading those much-beloved Tater Tuesdays like a family affair.

The Hard Luck Song Swap now has a home every Tuesday night at Sagebrush, and this week, O’Donnell brings out the upright bass to host performances by Bear Ryan (featured on today’s AMM), Nick Fong (Loteria), and Lou Lewis (Rattlesnake Milk). The show starts at 10 p.m. tomorrow, Tuesday March 29, at Sagebrush.

Bear Ryan’s new single “Sugarfoot” is out now.

What’s Yr Damage

Following the breakup of their previous psych-gaze band Creepoid, Anna and Patrick Troxell forged an electro post-punk dynamic as the duo Lovelorn. And now the ATX-by-way-of Philly outfit is ramping things up with two new additions to the line-up, guitarists Steve Pike and Kyle Harris. No doubt extra shreds will add even more discordant dimensions […]
