A Band Called . . . What?

It was a red letter day in ABNS history. Our first show at The Continental Club just a hop skip and a jump from downtown Austin. It was a show for the dogs . . . Literally. We were invited by the Heart of Texas Lab Rescue to play for their benefit for the lovely Labrador Retrievers that so desperately need homes here in Austin.

The benefit was hosted at The Continental Club and we were honored to help the organization raise money. But it was also an honor to know that we shared a stage with some of music's greatest legends. So many great acts have graced that stage, it was almost surreal to be up there on the other side of the lights.

The evening got started with The Mother Truckers, who have a revolving Thursday Happy Hour show and then on to a local band called Topaz. Topaz is a great funk band with some serious musicians. I really enjoyed their set. After a quick stage flip we started the show with a little of the old Boom Boom Mancini and then it was on to the Johnny Super hits. The crowd was great and I think the everyone really enjoyed the show.

We really want to thank The Heart of Texas Lab Rescue, The Continental Club and the WAKA team, Booze on First that came out to support the band and the dogs despite an upset on the South 1st diamonds.
