Blue Flamingo Tribute Shows - "Special Guest" revealed, set times, etc...

The cat is out of the bag: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead is the "Special Guest" headlining the Blue Flamingo Tribute Thursday April 29th, at Plush (formerly The Blue Flamingo). For this show, they'll be playing as their original two-piece lineup! Their shows from back then have grown to be legendary - chaos ensued in one form or another at all of them. Although this was recorded a little later (not as a 2-piece), check out this video of them playing at the Blue Flamingo back in 1997:

Look for many more of the records by these bands to be posted on the Texas Punk Treasure Chest in the upcoming weeks (in addition to the ones which already have), and see you at the shows.

The Paranoids - "Vintage Piss & Vinegar" EP

Great catchy garage rock from The Paranoids, from Austin. I believe that this was the last release on Rise Records, which if I remember correctly was from 1997... but I could be wrong. In addition to this record, The Paranoids had singles on Bunkhaus, No Lie, and various songs on compilations, including the "Live at the Blue Flamingo" LP already previously posted on this blog.

The Paranoids will be part of the upcoming BLUE FLAMINGO REUNION shows, and will be playing a reunion show with many other Blue Flamingo-era bands on Saturday May 1st at Emo's! More info about the show can be found HERE.
