Back to Fado, The Mean Eyed Cat and NXNW

It's been a long time since I've posted anything to the blog so I thought that I should just get down to business. I had these delusions that I was going to do something really special when I got back to blogging for the band, but I just decided to get the info out there and catch everyone up on what's going down.

We've had a hand full of shows since the last post and it all started at NXNW under the big top. Once again, a great show and a hell of a place to see live music, eat great food and drink great locally brewed beers. Our relationship with NXNW continues to grow and we are set up through November.

At the end of July we had our regularly scheduled program at the Mean Eyed Cat, the pseudo home of A Band Named Sue. This is a great gig for us and we really enjoy playing on the back porch of the Mean Eyed Cat, you can almost smell the chain oil from the thousands of saws that were once repaired there before it became one of Austin's favorite watering holes. My Uncle, Karl Musselman, sat in on the electric gitfiddle (guitar) with A Band Named Sue. Karl came all the way from California to showcase his talent in Austin. Actually he was only here on vacation, but I have to twist his arm (NOT) to convince him to lay down some tastey licks with the band.

Only three days later we were back at NXNW on a lovely Saturday evening. And once again we did our best to entertain the masses.

We've got a ton of shows coming up from private parties and Texas Football Tailgates to a possible Dallas premier OU Weekend. So many good things start this time of year. There's ragtag preseason football, the little ones start school and the National Championship Texas Longhorns are getting riled up for another outstanding season of college football.

Don't forget to check out the myspace account at www.myspace.com/bandnamedsue we've been trying to use this space as a way to market the band and to keep the our fans updated on shows. You can always check the calendar section to see where the best Johnny Cash band will be next.

Enjoy the pictures!
