Piece Description
Few musical movements can be said to have started with a specific event...and ended just as rapidly. But during a brief period between The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and the 'Summer of Love', hundreds of kids picked up guitars and drumsticks across Texas and began making music that would reverberate for decades...though the songs themselves would be almost lost.
Veteran music journalist (and former Wild Seeds frontman) Michael Hall writes about his Garage Rock rediscoveries in the March 2010 issue of Texas Monthly. In this public radio collaboration with KUT's award-winning Texas Music Matters unit, Hall joins host David Brown for an exploration of the phenomenon. (Hall's story inspired a reunion of several Texas Garage Rock bands for a much-anticipated South-By Southwest 2010 showcase.) The story you're about to hear is true...only you won't believe your ears! Enjoy!
