BEYOND GODS & EMPIRES

About Me


We're four South Texas, meat eating, beer drinking, mestizo boys living in Austin, TX. We're down to earth guys who put every ounce of soul, sweat, and passion into our songs. We get along with most people unless you're a douche bag "rock star" or have racist, sexist, or homophobic hang ups. We've been playing for awhile so we don't care for your "scene politics", crews, or lame ass trendy scenes. We play songs for individuals and would rather play with good, cool people who put their souls into their chosen art forms. Our song content is quite serious, philosophical, and very intense. That's why we just like to entertain you at the show and share a good laugh, conversation, and drink after the show. So come on out and have a good time with us. Maybe we'll become friends and either shoot pool, bowl, or go camping together at your nearby national/state parks. We love playing out of town and meeting new folks from new places; so please do send invitations so we can make trips to play your towns. We are always grateful and forever sincere. Thanks. ---Beyond Gods and Empires real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
