...our friend Ed on the right here :) .....Last Saturday night, we drove down to Whitewater Amphitheater in a little town called New Braunfels (about 45 minutes south of Austin) to hear Ed's band play (Kacia's husband). They are the Band of Heathens and they are incredibly talented. We were fortunate enough to hear them play in Colorado before, but they are quite well known down here in Austin and more than making a name for themselves as they were awarded Best New Band in 2007 at the South by Southwest Conference. As Collin's down visiting for a couple weeks, he tagged along. We are attempting to instill a taste for true, authentic, good music within him ....
...still a work in progress, as you can see ;) ....The amphitheater is along the Guadalupe River and it's very pretty hill country. It is a popular area, especially in the spring and summer, for rafting, kayaking, fishing, and the gamut of outdoor activities one might expect along a river. Here's a good link for rafting type activities: http://www.rioraft.com/ ...a scenic area indeed.
...Minus a few gnats and such buzzing around here and there, Marsh and I enjoyed ourselves as well. A little bug spray and a Shiner Bock turned things around pretty quickly! ...Anyway, I'll leave you with a video so you can sample the talented sound of the Band of Heathens. Also, check out their website at http://www.bandofheathens.com/ ...GREAT stuff!
