Podcasts about Armadillo World Headquarters

Send us a textOn this weeks episode, we take a listen to a true Texas legend, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and his 1993, Spinning Around the Sun.With his high, lonesome voice, Jimmy Dale embodies the very essence of that land from which he hails, the Texas Panhandle. Even thought he was in his forties when his first solo album was recorded, he had already made his mark on the musical landscape of the Lone Star State, having been in the legendary Flatlanders (along with Joe Ely and Butch Hancock) and the Hub City Movers (the first band to play the Armadillo World Headquarters). By the time he recorded his fourth solo outing, Spinning Around the Sun, Jimmie Dale had found his voice. Hailed as his break out LP, Jimmie Dale sings his heart out on songs he penned and a choice selections of tunes written by other notable songwriters, and features fantastic duet with Lucinda Williams. Spinning Around the Sun is a remarkable album filled with songs of beauty and heartbreak, earning him his first of three Grammy nominations. Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

Originally recorded 08/18/24 After a forced hiatus, the boys are back and ready to roll up on you with their particular geek magic. Blood and sugar sold separately. Stephe opened things up with an in depth account of his trip to SDCC in July.  This included Preview Night, Funko Fundays and drinking in San Diego. During this part of the conversation, Bruce took a moment to expound on his Corey Feldman as a performance artist theory. Hey, Bruce got new glasses...the Robert Downey, Jr. kind. There was another edition of Old Men and Their Maladies We discussed Gen X being forced to square dance in gym class and the chaos it created for dyslexics. Stephe had encounters with homeless folks in San Diego.  They did not go how you might expect. Finally, Bruce explained the reason for the long hiatus.  His mom passed away and the guys reminisced a bit about Mama Jane. She was a fan, even when she had no idea what we were talking about.  She knew we were having fun and that's all that mattered to her. Bruce steered the ship out of maudlin with a mention of author, Eli Cranor, and his Arkansas crime noir. Finally, Bruce pointed Stephe toward the poster art of the dearly departed Armadillo World Headquarters.  The legendary Austin hippie music venue produced some fantastic posters during their run.  

In 1969, Kirchen took Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen to California and they developed a reputation as musical "outlaws" that were praised by other outlaw musicians and bands like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers Band.Kirchen's band "played a collection of rock 'n' roll, hard-core country, boogie and rockabilly sounds produced in a "high-octane mix" that made them a "happening" group in the San Francisco Bay area. Kirchen began to develop as guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and performer. He became known for his vocal and guitar work on such songs as "Mama Hated Diesels", "Down to Seeds and Stems Again Blues" from the band's albums, Hot Licks, Cold Steel & Truckers' Favorites and Lost in the Ozone. His live performance work was captured on the 1973 album Live From Deep in the Heart of Texas, recorded at the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1973.Kirchen's Commander Cody band broke apart in 1976 and he formed a "swing orchestra" called the Moonlighters and began a decades-long collaboration with British musician Nick Lowe. Lowe produced the Moonlighters' second album Rush Hour, and Kirchen toured with Lowe and joined him in the studio from time to time. During this period Kirchen also worked on albums with Elvis Costello, Gene Vincent, and Link Wray. Kirchen was one of the musicians that pioneered the Americana movement in the 1980s, and also with being a founding father of "twangcore," along with Dave Alvin, Wilco and Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys. Kirchen's signature sound has been dubbed "dieselbilly" and incorporates elements of country, blues, rockabilly, Western swing and boogie-woogie, laced with themes of American truck driving music. Kirchen's work in the early 1970s with Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen helped set the stage for the singers like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson and other outlaw country bands with his recordings of songs like "Seeds And Stems."Kirchen is said to have "one of the most distinctive, pure-Fender Telecaster tone guitar sounds in modern music". Kirchen was named "The Titan of The Telecaster" by Guitar Player magazinefor his musical prowess on the Fender Telecaster guitar. He played a 1959 model with a maple fretboard and sunburst finish that he calls the "coal burner" and acquired in 1967 when he exchanged his Gibson SG with a stranger on a bus.He retired that guitar in the early 2010s in favor of a Telecaster with a wider neck.

While “Old Austin” is best embodied by Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, and Armadillo World Headquarters, thankfully there are plenty of other old souls still permeating that “country hippie” aesthetic of decades past. Take for instance singer-guitarist Andrew Gerfers and his homegrown quintet Stone Wheels, who shared their first studio single back in 2015 and […] The post Stone Wheels: “High in the 90’s” appeared first on KUT & KUTX Studios -- Podcasts.

I have been waiting for so long to have Eddie Wilson tell Monte and I some tales about old Austin, about the Armadillo World Headquarters, the Raw Deal of course Threadgills. You will enjoy this visit with Eddie Wilson and please read his masterpiece "Armadillo World Headquarters, a memoir".He needs to stop by for many more visits, right?

When you think of Texas music, you think of Willie, you think country. But despite being the one-time home of Armadillo World Headquarters and current harbor to dance halls like Broken Spoke, White Horse, and Little Longhorn Saloon, there’s just not a ton of straight-up country coming out of Austin nowadays. As a matter of […]

Local COVID numbers from the weekend show encouraging signs of an Omicron decline as local and statewide hospitals see what they hope is the beginning of the end of the wave. Six killings over the weekend have more than doubled Austin's homicide count for 2022. Longtime UT area restaurant and bakery Texas French Bread is heavily damaged by a fire. Today is Election Day in the special election to replace District 4 Council Member Greg Casar - early voting has shown lackluster turnout - while the deadline for registration for all Austin voters for the March primary election is coming up on January 31. Two men on an ATV have been harrassing golfers at Onion Creek Golf Course, hitting and badly injuring one earlier this month. Terravista residents in Williamson County have been terrorized recently by aggressive coyotes. Sotheby's auction house and the current owner of that Armadillo World Headquarters sign are pushing back on claims that it was stolen from the venue. Bob Dylan has booked a March concert at UT's Bass Concert Hall. Two new outdoor dining spaces set to open: south near the Brodie Lane Lowe's store featuring Dee Dee and Veracruz All Natural, and The Pitch north near Austin FC's training facility. And a cool week with temps in the 50's should give way to a sunny weekend in the 60's.

COVID stats remain near their recent record peak. Del Valle ISD cancels classes due to staff shortages today, Round Rock ISD students stage a walkout over pandemic policy, and Austin ISD teachers say a proposed scheduling change will degrade teaching performance. Amber Alert: a Buda teenager is missing since last night. If you've been wondering how the power grid is holding up in the cold, there's an ERCOT dashboard to watch. Energy Transfer LP walks back threats to cut natural gas supply to one of Texas' biggest power generators. The Rolling Pines fire near Bastrop sees 70% containment and a lifting of evacuation orders. Austin is far and away #1 in the country for new millennial homeowners. The Texas Monthly BBQ Festival moves from Austin to Lockhart for 2022. Jimmy Buffett announces a June show at the Moody Center. The original sign from the Armadillo World Headquarters is up for auction. And a gradual warmup starts today, leading to a mild weather weekend.

Leon played the piano, among other things. In the 60's, he was a part of the legendary set of studio musicians, known as the Wrecking Crew. Performing with a who's who, including The Concert for Bangladesh with George Harrison and also along with others in the likes of Bob Dylan, Badfinger, and many more. Other musicians started finding his music and recording them and making hits with his songs. Like Delta Lady, from Joe Cocker. The song I only really started to dig when watching him recorded live in the 70's, in the documentary "A Poem is a Naked Person". The documentary was only released in 2015 at South by. For 40 years, the film went unreleased. It features Leon live and onstage in his heyday. And that's where I really got to see the man shine as a live performer. The rest of them film is Leon bouncing around Oklahoma, his recording studio, The Church Studio in Tulsa recording country and western album "Hank Wilson's Back Vol 1" under the moniker of Hank Wilson. He would end up releasing 4 volumes over his career under the alias. The documentary also showed Leon building a house and hiring a young artist, Jim Franklin, to paint his pool with his own psychedelic art, before it is filled with water. Jim Franklin would become known for his posters, around the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin and featuring Armadillos. Now there stands a full life sized bronze statue of Leon Russell in his signature top hat, and with his beard and longhair, it is located outside The Church Studio, commissioned by non-other than Jim Franklin. His most well-known song would most likely be "A Song for You" off of his first album on his own Shelter Records, a record company that he started, the album was release in 1970. Many artists have recorded it over the years. Willie did a version in 1973 with just him and Trigger. The song closed out the "Shotgun Willie" album, the first to feature his guitar Trigger. But one of my favorite versions is from Ray Charles. He recorded it in 1993, but the live version he did that same year for Willie's 60th Birthday Party is my favorite. There is another version out that for another Willie special, featuring him along with both Ray Charles and Leon Russell. But now let's hear the man do it how he does it on his piano, here is "A Song For You" with the lines "I love you in a place where there's no space or time", but these are the words on his own gravestone, his own lyrics from the song: "And When My Life is Over, Remember When We Were Together, we were alone and I was singing this song for you": The last song on the "Shotgun Willie" album, the first album to feature Trigger. Trigger would again appear on Willie's next album "Red Headed Stranger" and then again for all the rest of his albums from that point on. I was lucky enough to see Leon many times. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tiny-curations/message

Austin’s music posters — especially the psychedelic ones that promoted shows at Vulcan Gas Company, Armadillo World Headquarters and other venues — resembled some of the posters produced in San Francisco at the time.  Some of the most rudimentary pen-and-ink techniques were used in part because they were the least expensive methods at the time and the most easily reproduced.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cleve Hattersley:Cleve Hattersley is a member of the Austin Music Hall of Fame with his band Greezy Wheels, which recorded two albums on London Records and served as the house band of Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. He managed the Lone Star Cafe and Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, and traveled the world with Kinky Friedman.Greezy Wheels is an Austin, Texas-based rock/alternative/Americana band that formed in the 1970s. They played more frequently at the Armadillo World Headquarters than any other band in the history of the venue. They are regarded as the Armadillo house band and are elected members of the Austin Music Hall Of Fame.Greezy Wheels' music is a raucous blend of rock, funk, R&B, alt-country, and Ozarks. In their early days, they were the only band with a female fiddler, Sweet Mary Hattersley. Sweet Mary consistently brought the crowd to a screaming frenzy with her version of the "Orange Blossom Special." The music of Greezy Wheels reflected the cultural dichotomy of Austin in the 1970s — a unique place where hippies had roots deep in the heart of Texas. Greezy Wheels opened Willie Nelson's first ever Armadillo World Headquarters show, putting him in front of the hippies who then adopted him and have been his fans ever since. They have shared the stage with (literally) too many greats to name.The band played up to 1978, when they took a 23-year hiatus. Greezy Wheels reformed in 2001 and are now recording for their own label, MaHatMa Records, after releasing two CDs on the Tana Records label. Their music has become more sophisticated, but has kept its off-the-page personality and musical comparisons are difficult to make. Principal writer and leader, Cleve Hattersley, continues to write quirky music that gets good airplay around the country. Sweet Mary still blows people up with her fiddle.Current members of the band: Cleve Hattersley on vocals, guitar, slide guitar, Lissa Hattersley on vocals, Sweet Mary Hattersley on fiddle and vocals, Penny Jo Pullus on vocals, Brad Houser (original member of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) on bass and baritone sax, John Bush (also an original New Bohemian) on drums, and Matt Hubbard (7 Walkers) on keyboards, harmonica, accordion and trombone.CD's: 'Millennium Greezy' (2001), 'HipPop' (2004), 'String Theory' (2007), 'Gone Greezy' (2011), Kitty Cat Jesus (2013), Unusual Thing (2014)Jeffrey Bryan:Born and raised in Los Angeles.

Greezy Wheels opened Willie Nelson's first ever Armadillo World Headquarters show, putting him in front of the hippies who then adopted him and have been his fans ever since. They have shared the stage with (literally) too many greats to name.The band played up to 1978, when they took a 23-year hiatus. Greezy Wheels reformed in 2001 and are now recording for their own label, MaHatMa Records, after releasing two CDs on the Tana Records label. Their music has become more sophisticated, but has kept its off-the-page personality and musical comparisons are difficult to make. Principal writer and leader, Cleve Hattersley, continues to write quirky music that gets good airplay around the country. Sweet Mary still blows people up with her fiddle.Current members of the band: Cleve Hattersley on vocals, guitar, slide guitar, Lissa Hattersley on vocals, Sweet Mary Hattersley on fiddle and vocals, Penny Jo Pullus on vocals, Brad Houser (original member of Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) on bass and baritone sax, John Bush (also an original New Bohemian) on drums, and Matt Hubbard (7 Walkers) on keyboards, harmonica, accordion and trombone.CD's: 'Millennium Greezy' (2001), 'HipPop' (2004), 'String Theory' (2007), 'Gone Greezy' (2011), Kitty Cat Jesus (2013), Unusual Thing (2014)Jeffrey Bryan:Born and raised in Los Angeles.

If you’ve spent any time in Tamarindo over the past 20 years, you’ve probably seen (and heard) local music legend Jesse Bishop jamming out on stage. In this week’s episode Joe Walsh, Niki, and PMAC sat down with Jesse to hear his story. Hear how Jesse Bishop found himself playing guitar at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas with musicians such as Count Basie and Willie Nelson. Listen in as he describes how he ever ended up in Tamarindo in the first place, driving from the US to Tamarindo five different times and the adventures he had along the way.

Bruce Willenzik absolutely exudes the spirit of Austin. It makes sense - he used to work at the venue responsible for Austin being named the "Live Music Capital Of The World": The Armadillo World Headquarters. With decades of experience running successful events and concerts, Bruce is a great mentor to learn from. Enjoy the history, as well as tried and true lessons of organizing and running successful shows.

In the first installment of The Daily Texan's From Armadillo to Zilker, JT Lindsey investigates the Armadillo World Headquarters, an influential but shortlived concert venue that ran from 1970 to 1980. Through archival audio and conversations with founder Eddie Wilson, the 'Dillo and its central players are shown to be energetic, exciting, and eclectic- to say the least. Written and produced by JT Lindsey with production help from Morgan Kuehler. Music by Ryan Andersen and Blue Dot Sessions.

In Episode 59 of The String we dive deep into the Austin/Nashville dynamic captured in the new Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum special exhibit Outlaws & Armadillos: Country's Roaring 70s. Our feature interview is with Michael Martin Murphey. Best known to many for his crossover hit “Wildfire” from the summer of ‘75, Murphey's had a wide ranging career. His songs have been recorded by Johnny Cash and Lyle Lovett among others. And he's earned abundant recognition for his decades as a champion and revivalist in the field of cowboy songs and western music. But before all that, Murphey was a key player in the Austin TX phenomenon, residing there as a full time musician from 1968 to 1974. He was a regular at the Armadillo World Headquarters, the iconic venue at the heart of the live scene, where a diverse audience heard a diverse array of roots music, from hard country to traditional blues. Murphey, along with Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker (about whom he wrote the era-defining song “Cosmic Cowboy”) and others forged a country-rock hybrid that became the foundation for the progressive folk music field we now call Americana. Also, a visit with exhibit co-curator Peter Cooper. 

Austin, Texas, calls itself the Live Music Capital of the World. Back in the 1970s, country music mixed with rock-and-roll to create the "Austin sound." Its cradle was the Armadillo World Headquarters, where the so-called hippies and rednecks came together over cold beer, cheap nachos, and cosmic cowboy sounds. Reporter Ryan Katz looks at the history of the Dillo and its legacy in Austin today.

What made Austin the city we know today? Eddie Wilson saw the Texas capital transform from a sleepy college town into a global purveyor of music culture, all while booking and housing seminal bands of the 1970s, serving Southern cuisine, and shilling a record-breaking amount of Lone Star beer. The story of the Armadillo World Headquarters includes rollicking tales of what Eddie calls, "a roller coaster of despair and wonder": trying to schedule anything with detail-averse Jerry Garcia, charming Frank Zappa after a 17-minute sound check, accommodating Van Morrison's cravings for the 'Dillo's famous shrimp quesadillas, and so many more 'Keep Austin Weird' moments that helped define Austin's lifestyle, cutlure, and identity. We are joined in this conversation by Jason Mellard, the Assistant Director of the Center for Texas Music History at Texas State University–San Marcos and author of Progressive Country: How the 1970s Transformed the Texan in Popular Culture.

Eddie Wilson is the owner of Threadgill’s restaurant and founder of the legendary music venue: The Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. During it existence, the Armadillo held such legendary acts as ACDC, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, Van Morrison and helped give birth to Austin’s music renaissance. Eddie hosted Lance at the restaurant where they caught up on everything from: owning a music venue, Willie Nelson, hosting music royalty, starting an advertising agency at a music venue and much more.

Listen to this hear as podcast here.Soundcloud here.Ever wake up in the morning and realize how different your life is then say 24 years ago?  This morning as my sweet 2 year-old continued to sleep next to me, I closed my eyes and images of performing my own composition Bob and Dave with the Creative Opportunity Orchestra appreared. Was that really almost a 1/4 century ago. I immediately thought, why couldn't I do things like that now?This CO2 show of the past was filmed in the old Austin City Limits studio at UT and was never released as far as I know. The Creative Opportunity Orchestra, led by the late Tina Marsh, performed concerts of original jazz music by its members starting way back in 1980. I was at their first show at the Paramount Theater that year. Later, I would return to the Austin City Limits studio to perform on the very last ACL filming there with Pearl Jam. In that band we're too early musical mentors of mine: Martin Banks and Alex Coke. Martin and Alex we're key figures in my jazz past. A past that started when my dad opened a used bookstore at 4th and Lavaca called PaperBacks Plus in 1979.Hear are some memories from those days: my poet dad would take me to Piggies on Congress (which later became what is now Manuels), jazz jams and poetry readings would be held inside the bookstore, Michelle Shocked would play songs on the walkway at midnight, members of Passenger including the late Mambo Trainer would perform regularly at the upstairs jazz club Piggies. Later an underground punk club opened up in the basement of the bookstore on weekend's called Voltaries Basement.  On other nights, we'd take a long walk over to Symphony Square to hear the Mitch Watkins Group playing original burning jazz fusion with Paul Ostermeyer, Stephen Zirkel, and James Fenner. Lucky for me I got to have Mitch Watkins perform with us a few times and Zirkel naturally came on board later. This was the Austin music scene before SXSW or ACL was even an idea.  Downtown was the epicenter of the music scene. The warehouse district was filled with aging warehouses some on the edge of being condemded.There was Armadillo World Headquarters, Soap Creek Saloon, El Arroyo, Chances, The Cacus Club, and too many more I can't recall...And of course the great blues clubs...Antones and The Rome Inn...In In the late 70's my parents divorced and my mom, brother and I moved into a gorgeous home on Pearl Street just down the street from the Rome Inn. We became members of the first edition Wheatsville Coop down the street as "turnups" (in the what is now a cycle shop).Just a few years later my dad's bookstore moved into the Rome Inn building and we lived upstairs a few nights a week and caught the bus at the corner to Austin High School.Larry Monroe, Paul Ray, and John Aielli ruled the radio on KUT in the small studio. Those we're the days of an easy laid back Austin. Oh and Antones was just around the corner too a few years later.... Good times.I wonder what the rent would be at that home on Pearl Street now.As we get older its so easy to be seduced into longs sessions of thinking about the past...and I'm generally one who wants to focus on the now. But the fact remains, we are in a different place than our early 20's. At that point, what did you have to look back to...? Your years as a child that we all so wanted to get over so we could get on to the freedoms of adulthood? I say, lets open our eyes, get up and make the best of what is now, be present and make more great memories.What do you remember about Austin music venues of the past and what new Austin venues should I visit now?

Scott talks about seeing Doc Watson at The Armadillo World Headquarters, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Leadbelly,  Hasil Adkins stories, Hank 3 stories, obnoxious audience members, VAN-dalism, getting naked and singing gospel songs, surviving a head on collision with an 18 wheeler, gardening,… Continue Reading →

This Week in Texas Music History, we’ll go home with the Armadillo, one last time. On January 1, 1981, Austin’s Armadillo World Headquarters closed its doors for good. The cavernous venue had opened ten years earlier as a community arts laboratory, but it soon became the epicenter for Austin’s burgeoning live music scene. During its […]

In this interview I speak with Dwight Adair, writer/director/producer at Seadra Productions. We talk about film and the color-grading experience of West Texas Muse, a film about Tommy Hancock. This documentary is 64 minutes long and was shot over a period of 10 years on SD video. There were quite a few special challenges in getting the movie finished. It was originally edited on a FCP3 system, and the movie included many old family movies and stills, all needing special color correction. Dwight did an amazing job of editing the story and building up the initial sound track. As you know, the devil is in the details with audio, so I want to give a special shout-out to Reed Hart for his dedication to reworking the soundtrack from start to finish to make it perfect. He truly has a intuitive feel for what sounsd right in a mix between words and music. The movie is being submitted to film festivals this year, but I believe there are plans to create DVDs so check back later on this if you are interested. I post and update when that occurs. Synopsis: West Texas Muse is a documentary about the Texas fiddler and songwriter Tommy Hancock, originally based in Lubbock as the house band/owner of the Cotton Club. The Cotton Club became well known as a premiere West Texas dance hall, holding as many as 1600 people, and provided an opportunity for famous musicians touring the Southwest and the West Coast to take a much-needed respite from their long bus rides. These famous performers included Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Bush, Don Walser, Merle Haggard, Hank Thompson, Ray Price, Freddy Fender, and many others. As Hancock became interested in hippies and LSD, he began a spiritual quest that not only changed his life and music, but influenced many well-known Texas musicians, some now based in Austin, such as Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Lloyd Maines, Jesse Taylor, and many others. It also changed the Cotton Club from being a dance hall for country music into something that more closely resembled the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, where cowboys, hippies, bikers, and persons of all descriptions learned to get along and enjoy various types of music. Hancock formed the Supernatural Family Band, and later, when he could no longer perform due to arthritis, he supported the Texana Dames with his songwriting and dancing. Musician, bandleader, songwriter, author, and father, Tommy Hancock now lives in Austin and is the subject of this 64-minute exploratory documentary about a wise, spiritual man who has much to say about life.

He's been playing music professionally since he and his brother Charlie were 8- and 10-year-olds sharing stages with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Doug Sahm, and the cream of the Austin music scene. Will spent his teen years making records, touring the world, and hanging out with a who's who of rock royalty from New York to L.A. The singer/songwriter/guitarist is all grown up with a terrific new record backed by the Iguanas, “Don't Walk the Darkness,” coming out March 6. He slips into the Ring Room to chat about everything from songwriting with Waylon Jennings to showing up in the punchline of a Bill Hicks bit. Topics include an idle threat, a siege mentality, a Louisiana Legends show with Irma Thomas, an airline fracas, the end of an era, a U.K. tour with Amy LaVere, a first guitar teacher, Austin in the '70s, W. C. Clark, Richard Elizondo, Speedy Sparks, home schooling, emancipated minors, Armadillo World Headquarters, Antone's, Hubert Sumlin, Eddie Taylor, Luther Tucker, a personal approach, writing partners, an awkward story, Roky Erikson, David Koresh, a Sam Kinison riot, a Johnny Thunders friendship, R 'n' R Church at the Limelight, Steve Jones, a clothes giveaway with Ron Wood, future plans, final thoughts, and much more.
