Good time and sore feet at Off Broadway

The Austin, TX Band of Heathens (BOH) played at Off Broadway Saturday night. It was the second time I saw the band play there. The first time was last Halloween when their van was broken into. In a Q/A interview shortly following the incident, one of the band members had this to say:

What’s been the worst experience you guys have had as a band?
Well, yesterday we came down and discovered that someone had broken into our van and stolen our stereo and DVD player and GPS thing. There’s been some pretty nasty hangovers. That might be the worst.


So does something like that leave a bad taste in your mouth for that city?
That was in St. Louis. It reminded me of one of the [National Lampoon] Vacation movies, where they got the wheels jacked off their car in East St. Louis. Maybe a little bit, but we had a great show the night before and had a great time there, so we’ll try not to hold it against the city.

What a nice and brave group of guys to "not hold it against the city" and come back and give St. Louis another chance, especially during St. Louis' very own crazy Mardi Gras days.

Opening up for BOH at Off Broadway Saturday night was:

The David Mayfield Parade (oh and what a parade he was).

I'm not quite sure if David believes he’s some sort of sex kitten or just likes to shake his butt. Whatever the case he's a hoot and a very entertaining and talented guy. He's also the big bro of the young and crazy talented Jessica Lea Mayfield.

I wish I had taken more video of BOH but by the time they took the stage all I could think about was my poor aching feet. :*(
