ROWCO

hahahaha...i just discovered the acronym page on meetgoodwin.com. much is now explained.

goodwin did, indeed, rowco at the little moon last night. best part: the room filled up around the time they hit the stage, perhaps an indication that the daily skiff story last week did its job, i.e., alerting the incoming freshmen class at tcu that the goodwin boys do, indeed, exist. the snotty french waiter was a nice touch, and afterward, daniel gomez said that they're within a couple of tracks of finishing their long-awaited sophomore cd, which he says should be out by the end of the year. in the meantime, el presidente promises a teaser e.p. consisting of one song from the cd, a handful of oddball tracks that wouldn't ordinarily make it to a goodwin release, and maybe a movie. a movie?!?!? sounds intriguing.

before, the house was rawked by austinites wan santo condo, whose leader apparently plays gtr in pudge zeppelin and whose wall-of-sound approach damien stewart compared to early brasco. one of them spilled an entire pitcher of beer while watching headliners darth vato. hope he wasn't driving home to austin that night.

speaking of dv, apparently dan malone from the fweakly is writing a cover story for this week's paper about the police raiding the party the vatos were playing last weekend. a noisy party complaint as front-page news? musta been a slow week or something. when kerry dean 'n' company hit at the moon, the 10-foot line o' death in front of the stage that persisted through goodwin's set finally disappeared, and one couldn't help being impressed by the high percentage of audience mbrs who knew the words to all the songs, as well as the way steve steward and eric dodson have tightened up their pocket. plus it's always fun to watch steve do his scared-japanese-peasant dance during "ska song." we left before the second set; hopefully the several rounds of jager shots provided by a fan didn't diminish darth vato's motor skills overly much.
