Welcome to 'NITES
'NITES was an Austin-based blog that covered the local music scene in Central Texas. I started this blog because I love live music and I think Austin is the best city in the world to discover talented new bands. I ran this blog with passion and enthusiasm for a few years, before growing apart from the scene I'd once lived and breathed. This blog spent a year in limbo before I made the final decision to shutter it. The blog's previous posts will remain live, but there will be no future updates. Thanks for your years of readership and feedback. It was fun while it lasted, but times change. People change. Scenes change. Change isn't something to fear, but rather something to embrace. Peace, love and rock 'n' roll, y'all. Feel free to dig through the archives for photos, videos and writeups about Austin music from 2008 to 2010. If you use my work anywhere, please give me credit. Thanks!

Episode#1: A Pocketful of Deng
Welcome to the very first episode of 'Nites, ladies and gentlemen. This one's a whopping 22 minutes of A Pocketful of Deng getting groovy and psychedelic at The Mohawk on 10th Street and Red River. This show was epic. Patrick, the lead singer, shakes and dances like a man possessed. The rhythm section and lead guitarist know how to methodically build to big crescendos, as displayed in the song "Let's See A Jet Plane". And who doesn't love afros and shiny gold jackets? Also featured in this episode: a hyper-manic walk to Sixth Street and a chalk artist who calls herself Kimchi and uses the world (or at least the sidewalk) as her canvas.
Filmed July 3, 2008 at Mohawk Austin on 10th St and Red River.
Songs:
1. "That's A Lot of Adhesive"
2. "Raise the Colors"
3. "Such Magic Potion"
4. "Let's See A Jet Plane"
