Soulhat Web

Happy new year to everyone on the internets! We hope you survived NYE with little more than a minor hangover. It was noticeably slow around here for a few weeks, but life has picked up with FREE WEEK shows here in Austin. And good news is Kevin just announced that he’ll be performing live on January 22 at Hotel Vegas with details forthcoming.

In other news, the Austin Chronicle has released the list of nominees for this year’s class of the Austin Texas Music Hall of Fame. The list includes Joe Rockhead, the band that officially introduced Bob Schneider to many of us. Be sure and grab your ballot cast your vote for them (Soulhat was already inducted in 2006), but also take time to write-in Little Sister/Sister 7, who deserve to be there as much as anybody.

Its been about ten years since Soulhat last performed at Southwestern, the college where the band was formed back in 1990. On November 5, they the classic lineup reunited for a two-hour “unannounced” show during Southwestern’s homecoming and reunion weekend. About 200 people saw the band performing a nice cross-section of their repertoire, mixing-up old tunes like Old Man Ken and Garbage Man with barn-burning renditions of the stuff that made them famous – Psychological Bone, Wiggin’ and Bonecrusher. The band closed the night with “Love Me Now.” See a couple of photos here and here.
