Psychedelic Country Rock

About Me

Texcentrics at Threadgill's for the Roky Erickson Ice Cream Social during SXSW 2007:
It Burns My Eyes
The Sun is Always Shining (acoustic)

..........................................

Comprised of veterans of groups ranging from Retarted Elf to the Pittsburgh Symphony, these native South Austinites play only Texas music.
Whether performing originals or other Lone Star greats' songs, the sound is unmistakebly "texcentric."
Reviews from Austin.com:
"very Texas very Good ... get it while its HOT!!!!!"
"These guys are a FEEL GOOD band and the audience ate it up! Watch for them!"

Regarding a recent bill featuring the Texcentrics:
“one of the biggest nights in the history of Hole in the Wall.” Brooks Brannon, manager of Hole in the Wall
