Bi-generational Punk Music
An intergenerational friendship based on music and forged over 24 days playing 20 shows from Portland to Chicago and New York to New Orleans – was living large onstage on 7.11 in 2009 as the Germs, pioneer LA punk band of the late 1970s now reborn with a new lead singer, and Krum Bums, an always-on, 10-year-old multi-ethnic band from Austin, concluded their summer tour at Red 7 club in Austin.
Singers Shane & David
Although I have yet to tour with a band and come to the end of long road trip to play in that band’s hometown, the affection awash on Red 7’s outdoor stage was rare and wonderful. Each band played the other’s songs during the two sets … members of one band came onstage to join the other band playing one of their songs … bands switched tee shirts … and you got the feeling this vibe was present for most road shows in June and July 2009.
More photos from the Germs & Krum Bums July 2009 concert in Austin can be seen on the Germs MySpace – www.myspace.com/germsreturn

Germs
The Germs zoomed to the top of the LA Punk Scene as the Krum Bums musicians were being born in the 70s. Germs – Lorna Doom on bass, Pat Smear – guitar, drummer Don Bolles and Darby Crash singing. From what I’ve read and talked about with folks who experienced the Germs in the late 70s, Darby drove the Germs and then crashed them into a wall. It fulfilled his dream – form a band, experience great success quickly and then purposely extinguish the band by deliberately overdosing on heroin he knew to be potent. His girlfriend survived their death pact. Crash, age 22, did not. Germs Live at Whisky, a poorly-shot film of a 1979 Germs LA concert before his death, sadly shows Crash drunkenly reeling around the stage while increasingly taunting the audience. Near the end, no LA club would book the Germs.
Another film led to the rebirth of the Germs. What We Do Is Secret – a 2007 film about Crash and the Germs’ ascent to the top of the Hollywood punk and hardcore scene – led to the rebirth of the Germs. It featured actor Shane West portraying Darby. During the film’s wrap party to celebrate the end of filming, the three surviving Germs decided to reform the band with West as singer.

Krum Bums
Recipient of the 2008 Austin Music Award for Best Punk Band, the Krum Bums are beginning their tenth year performing in Austin and across the country. In addition to the Germs, the band has toured with the Causalities and GBH in recent years.
Krum Bums are David Rodriguez, vocals – Trae Martinez and Justin Hall guitars – Ry Meyer on bass and – drummer Tommy Gonzalez.
Alysha Hernandez, a freelance Austin writer and blogger, wrote a nice profile of the band – http://www.austinvida.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=120:krum-bums-a-decade-later-the-punk-don%27t-stop

Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Badges at NotSXSW 2012
South across Lady Bird Lake and east of the interstate, NotSXSW is back for another week of free music – a healthy alternative to what’s taking place downtown during the SXSW Daze when folks representing the music industry bring a hefty dose of LA and NYC to Austin.
As the motto proclaims in the headline above – You indeed don’t need no stinkin’ badges to experience quality music at NotSXSW without a luxury tax and shuffling through clogged downtown sidewalks & streets.
Just below this is a day to day listing of shows you may find me at. After that are complete show lists – from John Conquest’s NotSXSW and Ginny’s Little Longhorn (best country honky tonk in Central Texas) to San Jose by Jo’s Coffee and The Yard Dog Gallery – both in near South Austin.
John Conquest, a cogent observer of music in Austin and beyond, has written and published 3rd Coast Music magazine <3rdcoastmusic.com> for many years. He cares about the quality and live performance of music and books an impressive slate of singer-songwriters and Real Country & Folk musicians for NotSXSW.
Pick up an information-packed March issue of John’s 3rd Coast Music magazine at many music-oriented stores and music bars around Austin. It has handy listings of each day’s shows, as well as several listings by venues.
All shows posted on this Austin Music & More Blog are Free
