Biting Other Blogs: Heybale!

Heybale! in front of their Sunday night stomping ground.

Biting Other Blogs is an occasionally occurring feature that will direct your attention to a specific blog post or two that, most likely, I wish I had posted myself. Giving credit where credit is due, I typically wont blab too much, except to encourage you to get up on whatever blog I am highlighting…

Living in Dallas, I often go to Austin for the weekend to dream about what it would be like to live there for real…aaahhh. But alas, I return to the bustling concrete metropolis every time on a Sunday afternoon and fight the crowds of other wannabe Austinites that are making their way back up I-35.  Since I have never really stayed over on that Sunday night, I have continually missed out on one of the truly great Austin experiences (or so I’ve been told, and I believe it) of seeing Heybale perform their usual Sunday night gig at the Continental Club on South Congress Street.

Songs: Illinois has posted about them a couple of times recently, and discussed their latest album.  This is an exceptional group of players, featuring the timeless Redd Volkaert on guitar, so be sure to check out the audio that Songs: Illinois offers along with the post. While you’re at it, check out what Songs: Illinois had to say about new Dallas fave, The O’s.  See, locals aren’t the only ones raving  about these guys….
