Big Broadcast: Texas Garage Rock

Texas Music Matters

By: David Brown

Few musical movements can be said to have started with a specific event…and ended just as rapidly.  But during a brief period between The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and the ‘Summer of Love’, hundreds of kids picked up guitars and drumsticks across Texas and began making music that would reverberate for decades…though the songs themselves would be almost lost. Join us on the next Texas Music Matters, where we talk with veteran music journalist (and former Wild Seeds frontman) Michael Hall about the lost nuggets of Texas garage rock. Friday at noon and 11 pm on KUTX 98.9, and Saturday at 11am on KUT 90.5.
