On Saturday night we were torn between going to see Rotel and the Hot Tomatoes at the Nutty Brown and doing something different. We chose something different. Who knows if we would have had more fun at the Nutty, but we sure enjoyed our "aomething different" evening. The new Waterloo at 71 and Bee Caves road just opened that night and it was packed. Great venue, especially for families. Has lots of those garage doors that can be opened on nice days/nights (like last night) or closed so folks can dine inside. We enjoyed our salads and a beer. Feeling lucky that the live-music venue we loved so much sort of re-opened as Tim's porch at the Backyard, we wanted to give it a try even though neither of us had ever heard of the band scheduled to play. Maybe it is the cover charge they just started up in June, a lack of advertising or some other factor, the place was empty. I think there were eventually 11 spectators. Here are 7 of us:
Topaz and the Mudphonic were great and we would definitely seek them out again. In spite of the very low turnout, they played from 8 until 11 p.m. Really great music. The lead singer plays guitar, sax, and harmonica.
We thought they had a bit of a Traffic sound. One of the other "fans" said they heard Doors and other 60's sounds. We bought their CD for $10 and they gave us a sticker (I'm thinking "Meg's car!"). Check'em out at the Continental Club on the 25th of June. Definitely worth the $7 cover we paid.
