Two Tons of Steel

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:30:00 -0600

Texas band Two Tons of Steel might be described as equal parts Elvis Presley and Elvis Costello, with a liberal dose of Buddy Holly and a dollop of The Ramones. It’s a one-of-a-kind sound that bandleader and frontman Kevin Geil likes to call “countrybilly.”

It’s also a sound that’s boosted the group to renown as the face of Texas music: with its live performance at historical Gruene Hall; of Two Tons of Steel in the internationally released IMAX film “Texas: The Big Picture”; its performance of King of a One Horse Town in the roots-country documentary that screens continuously at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame; its swing tune as part of Lone Star beer’s ongoing regional radio campaign; and by becoming Texas music ambassadors to ecstatic fans in Cuba and at sold-out shows throughout Europe.
Two Tons of Steel continues as an institution at Texas’ famed Gruene Hall, where its annual Two Ton Tuesdays summer series draws 12,000 fans, and as a popular act at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry. For eight years, it’s been voted Best Country Band by the San Antonio Current, its hometown weekly.

SPECIAL PRE-SALE TICKET PRICE JUST ANNOUNCED!

From Rolling Stone:

"Much of David Banner's charm lies in his bulldozer flow, his political awareness and his innovative production skills..."

From BlogCritics.org:

"David Banner raps about car doors, women, and the direction of his community on The Greatest Story Ever Told, an album that sparkles with moments of brilliance...David Banner’s fifth studio album is probably his most popular. It is stacked with guest appearances, including Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, and Akon, and is structured quite well with a good amount of pop-rap radio hits..."

From RapReviews.com:

"...There comes a time in any artist's career when you simply have to step back and pay homage to greatness. With "II Trill" Bun B's ensured the legacy of U.G.K. will exist for decades to come, but more importantly he's created the album that every hip-hop head from North to South with have rattling out of their trunk all summer long...."

4-Star Review of Bun B's II Trill From Austin Chronicle:

"II Trill but never too trill, the second solo swagger from UGKer Bun B spins triumphant...II Trill boasts the work of a rapper aware of his responsibility atop the Houston rap game. Now that's trill"

One of Austin’s favorite musicians, Bob Schneider, will be recording his new live DVD at one of Austin’s favorite landmarks, the Paramount Theatre! A consummate entertainer, Bob Schneider takes his audience on a wild ride from rock god abandon to the introspection of a singer songwriter, with a bit of dry-witted comic swirled into the mix. On acclaimed albums like Lonelyland and I’m Good Now, and fan favorites like The Galaxy Kings and Underneath the Onion Trees, Bob’s music crosses boundaries & styles…. from mambo, rap, jazz, and blues to country, latin, soul, and even bluegrass. You’ll never know what to expect in his musical gumbo, but it’s always a great Rock ‘n’ Roll party.
