  SPEAKER_00: So how did you how did you come across those posters?

  SPEAKER_02: Um did you did somebody donate them or um so originally um I've been looking around like just posters because I know like some people like have taken like pictures from their collection or something like that, because like I don't know why or how, but people like just like just picture posters because when I when I was young, I would just put my posters like just on the wall and stuff and like just set them up.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: But some people just like kept them safe.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: So I saw this this listing on Facebook Marketplace, like, hey, I have all these posters.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm Texas Sky, four dollars a piece, but like the the listing was like almost like like two or three years ago, so like 20, like 2001, 2002, like around those times and stuff like that.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, I asked the guy, like, hey man, do you still yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't have these anymore, but do you have any pictures?
• 3:44

• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, and it was like you can have these for free, man.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, go for it.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, dude, and then he donated like a lot of stuff I'm gonna show you later, all ticket stubs and posters.

• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: You got and then I was at the Shattered Sun so a few days ago, yeah, and oh my gosh, you Alice boys are man, y'all are killing it out here, bro.

  SPEAKER_02: Um, so the Shattered Sun show me and uh Joaquin, who just posted right there.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: We put it up because of our the the bring awareness and raise funds for a nonprofit.

• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: But I help out on the vice president.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: But we reached out to Shattered Sun and like um Marcus Liao was like a I knew him, I saw him like performing like in a like a freshman lock-in and stuff, and like he I don't think it was Shattered Sun, I think it was like one of his like um like smaller projects, but it was Marcus.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: But like I that was like the first like heavy show I saw in high school.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, this is really happening in our school, but it's almost fun, but like it was it was interesting, but I was like, That show was crazy, like he could probably tell you better, yeah.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: But like that, it's very memorable.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: I'll put it at that.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Is that your intro into hard music?
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Or no, no, I always knew about hard music and something like that, but I always knew about shattered sun too, like just like the woodwork, and like they're always like playing and just like they would just like you know travel around, and I was like, Yeah, I always admire that.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I didn't like see them, but I knew of them and stuff.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: I think I heard like one track on MySpace or just like a track, but just and yeah, and we were talking earlier about the VFW, bro.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: I played there a few times, yeah.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: The VFW, yeah.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so the VFW had like called like a lot of like concerts, like actually ZZ Top played there in like I think 72.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, ZZ Top, and like yeah, like for me, I had like some cousins party and like different stuff there.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: I even had my like high school prom there, but like it had like some like music like musical history to that that plays system like that.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: So I knew about that, just like I lived it and stuff, but like I know like Corpus had like a big, big thing about like you know, just like having so much like music besides like the Hano and stuff, which is like if the Hanl is a it's our it's our culture, it's our roots, but we respect that.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: But I think that we should like take the time talk about other dramas and music and other stuff.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like um, there's a Green Day show that happened at your Via W and Corpus in '93.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: But like that, you wouldn't even know that unless like you were in the know, you just kind of like this you just know the right people and stuff.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: But like Corpus is a big, like, you know, scene I'm still trying to learn about.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm learning new things every day.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: My other my producer the producer my other producer is asking, uh, do we know why there's always crazy shows at VFWs?
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, I think I I think I can answer that.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um sometimes VFWs are your cheapest option as a band.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: Just like you don't have to tell them what kind of band you are.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's like we're just a musical group, man.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: We're just gonna like you know, play in front of people.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: It could be like a contraband, the Hano band, but most of the time, such hard rock fools, it's like exactly a lot of hardcore shows.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: But like they actually let you it's like one of the places they let you all play.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: Is that what you say?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: Or you can if you mean it's like anything, you pay money, like you pay a fee.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's like it's a hall.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_02: And like you book a hall and something like that.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: You like well back in the day when I was here, like you get your money together, it was like more viable to like book a haul show than like it was like just to do it in your backyard sometimes, you know.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_02: And it'll get more people interested.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: And like back then, Corpus had a in the 80s had a strong, strong like metal and hardcore and punk scene and stuff, and like they'll go to these big, big haul shows, so it made sense of people just to to book like VFW shows, yeah.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why VFWs are like the best options for like bands sometimes.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's amazing.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's pretty cool.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's interesting to know.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because the places I I mean that like the VFW at Alice was the one that I had.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: I had a VFW.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: Other than that, it was like we would play at zeros.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, zeros.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: The underground.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: There was this.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think the underground was the zone or something like that.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure, but I remember the um on Agnes, an old warehouse.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: We we played there a couple times.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, but and then like even these flyers that you have that you're putting on CC Riffs on the Facebook page.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you're putting them or or people are putting them, but there's places like on Alameda and these different places.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, this existed, you know.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Dude, exactly.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's a crap ton of stuff that like it's like um for me, it's like I just look around Facebook, I just like go to people's like um Facebook page ask them, like, hey, dude, you posted this.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: Do you mind if like you know I just like borrow it?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: Because I it's public, so I you know, if you're cool with it, it's like, yeah, sure, go ahead.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: So like a lot of these posters, they're either like I got online or I just found it like you know in in person or on eBay and stuff.

  SPEAKER_02: I think like a lot of these things, like they're meant to like just be put like on a wall or like just on a like gas station promote, yeah.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: But I feel like they're like historical artifacts, so they're so rare and stuff.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: They made like a like just cardboard and paper and stuff, and like they're very fragile, so like they need like to be like you know taken care of.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: But sometimes they know it won't made do that.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so when I see them in person, I was like, oh my god, I can't believe it survived this long.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: But they did.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's amazing, bro.

• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: Bands like are still going at it, it's like that, you know, nothing's really has changed, but like wow, but like saving it, I would say like just keep good documentation, like just write down like somewhere like okay, this show took place and it's like this day, yeah.

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I mean, um, I see picture a lot.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_02: Like, um, you probably follow of like the probably everyone knows about this, but like the the Corpus Christi history groups or whatever.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_02: I saw originally like I just got inspired to do like the Facebook page.

• 33:03
  SPEAKER_02: Let me like look into it some more.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_02: And I found out that um the guy who took a picture of the actual like you know, thing um is still around.

• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's so cool.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like this, I wouldn't know that until like some people like messaged me on Facebook, but they just told me directly.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and it's like it's crazy.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like I see a lot of stuff, and like that's why I wanted to post about it.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: I asked permission, of course.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, can I post some of the group or like you want?
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you want to find like the actual documentation exactly.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_02: I would love to, but like I gotta ask permission first because I want to set but because like I'm pretty sure as you know and stuff, you don't want to like burn bridges and just like you always want to have like a good connection with someone so they can like help you out, and you and then by you know, you can help them out too, but like you want to like just like be supportive, you know, have a good like network of like of systems, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted so you know uh Joaquin, yeah, he's uh the president of uh what was it uh Joaquin into conclusion, yeah.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_00: So how how did you so uh did you start like um I guess how did you get into that, into what he's doing over there?
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so I know um I knew Joaquin since like elementary school, like we're all Alice boys, so we hung out in the same neighborhood and stuff, but um, I didn't really hang out with them till like middle school, but um I I knew like just like him in high school, we went marching man together, we went to sing concerts together and stuff, but like eventually he did like um like after school stuff or like in schools.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_02: I think I can't like tell exactly what it did, but like basically he helped like kids out and stuff.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_02: Eventually he like he he saw like the special needs and like just like kids with autism, like they weren't being properly helped, and he thought like um hey I need I need to like kind of like help the teachers out, the parents out, like know their rights and what can do to to like like not like because like it can't be cured obviously, but like it can be helped like to like do kind of like um like to make it easier for them and stuff, and just like put headphones on.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but like he he wanted to do this thing, this project, and I was like, sure.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_02: He wanted to like do a big benefit for like to raise funds and stuff.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I was doing the the the music project, so like that's how I got the you know the things going and stuff, and we made the concert happen.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_02: But like me and Joaquin, like we're we're vatos, yeah, that's we're friends.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we went to a lot of concerts.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: We went to um we would see Pantera there, the reunion shows and stuff like that.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_02: We saw Lin Biscuit together.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: We're we're close.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I really like I really like that um like helping because I I think I'm like ADD or AD ADHD or on the spectrum or whatever.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then like I think even maybe my daughter or my son is kind of yeah, and like just having that in a classroom, it makes worlds because those kids are a lot of those kids are bullied and picked on.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: No, um, well, I didn't want to well, I guess I can't bring it up, but I'm actually um I'm autistic.
• 35:48
  SPEAKER_02: But um my parents had the luxury um when like the first people like um to give them like the like speech therapy and physical therapy and like just like options because like right insurance wouldn't cover that when it was like kind of like in 90s because like it was like oh it's whatever.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but like kids like they need like early intervention to like for for them to understand like hey, I got I have this this thing and stuff like that.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm kind of like different than the rest of people, but like I think differently, yeah.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_02: But I I gotta function like kind of like a like a like a like someone that could function, yeah.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_02: In society too.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_02: So you want to give them the the skill sets, like you don't want to change them, but you want to get the skill sets and tools.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_02: So like like how you get any kid, something like that, but you have to like kind of be like more like I guess more precise, I guess you would say, just because like it's it's kind of hard.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like, like for example, with me, it's like I it's kind of hard for me to make conversations normally if I don't like kind of like kind of pre-plan, it's like like what I'm gonna say, or just like having like like a like a like an outline, but like and some kids are not like that too, and you gotta respect that.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, hey, this is what you can do, and so you practice, like we this is how you do it, like you play like uh pretend, yeah, and stuff.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: You teach kids kids at a young age, they can like pretend and like we pretend all the time, like having conversation and stuff.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: And the thing is, like um when like we have like um people with autism, we um we have a thing called masking.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_02: Masking is basically kind of pretending like we don't, but like we actually can we act like a normal person, but we masking our symptoms by like overcompensating stuff, so we um um it's good to know, man.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, no, it's like it's hard for me to think about because I don't really talk about it as much, but like we're starting we're starting about this and stuff like that, and it's like needs to be talked about and stuff.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_02: But if we if you really don't teach these people at a young age, yeah, they're kind of like I want to say doomed, but it's kind of harder for them to kind of like just adjust.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and like we want to make make it so like the teachers understand, like we're having like workshops or talking to experts, yes, but like just like sometimes teachers like they're overwhelmed and stuff, and they don't know like the skill, like have the skill sets or knowledge, like just how to deal with this like that.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_02: So, like what Joaquin is doing is like trying to get extras from UT and trying to make this thing happen.
• 38:02
  SPEAKER_02: Cool.
• 38:03
  SPEAKER_02: Or like I think I think like uh I don't know when we started, but like we've been slow, like just like um like uh fundraising and just making like you know, like slow ways, but this concert thing kind of helped us a lot.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and also um I was bringing up we went to Domingo Live.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I saw that.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, and like he booked it for us, but like we kind of like we're talking about the concert.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_02: I talked about what I was doing, which like in turn helped the concert out, you know.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: But um, he was basically saying, like, you know, this this is gonna go to this funds.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_02: We need this in the community, especially like the Spanish community, like this the Texas community, just yeah, we need this for like it needs to be like viable and stuff.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: So we're trying to do this a nonprofit and just like kind of help out, you know, yeah.
• 38:43
  SPEAKER_00: I was excited to pay for tickets.
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I was like, yes, I this is something that because I'm like, you know what I mean?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_00: I yeah, I didn't learn this stuff until later in life in my late 20s, uh, my my early 30s, you know what I mean?
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_00: About ADHD and ADD and why I'm like this, why my brain functions like this, what can I do?
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm even showing my kids like, look, this is how your brain is, you know what I mean?
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_00: It helps out.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, we as a stigma, you know, like our like like our Hispanic culture and some like that.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_02: We're kind of like just feel like, oh, he's he's different, you know.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_02: He's kind of like, oh, he's quirky and some of that.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: Like, no, he has like a like a kind of like he's compensating for something like his brain, like just made for him and stuff like that.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_02: And we need to like teach him that, you know, but like sometimes you just kind of like oh put it on the side and stuff like that.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: And eventually like you're like dirty, he's like, I wonder why I think this way.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: I wonder why like I'm having like trouble like understanding feelings, and like I like I miss like when I'm talking to someone, I misread their like their facial features, like oh maybe this this guy is sad, but like actually he's happy, and I was like, I it freak it freaks me out sometimes when I'm over really overwhelmed, but like I try and like just do step by step.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_02: I've been practicing so much like all my life, but like um, but yeah, that's what we try to do and something like that.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: But like sometimes like my friends, like they go like undiagnosed until like a long time, and like you feel like a lot of like depression and hate for yourself because like why am I so different?
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_02: Why did I think differently?
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's like it's like and like I think any human doesn't want to feel that way and smile.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_02: That's like self-hatred and some like yeah, they don't want to feel that way.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_02: They want to understand, like, we are as people we want to like understand like like everything around us because we're not like you know like social creatures, yeah.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_02: So like we want like why why am I like this way and stuff?
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it's this brain waves and like you know, like neurological orders, disorders, stuff.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I and I love heavy music too.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like exactly, yeah.
• 40:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think it helps me zone, like just zone out and calm, yeah, calm down.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sometimes you know what I mean.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I understand.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like some like like some of my friends like that who are like who are on spectrum and stuff, they they they're all different.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's like a spectrum because like it's like different webs of it.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_02: Like sometimes like music calms them down, like different functions might sometimes like like it overstimulates them and so like they're like it's like needles and stuff.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_02: That's why you see like you know, like kids wearing headphones might that because like they're trying to be cool because like yeah, it hurts them and stuff.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone here felt like like um like a like um nails on the chalk or chalkboard, and like it's like loud, like just noises that hurt you and stuff.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_02: And like and like just I like personally when I see like kids with headphones, I don't think anything of it because I I understand like it's it's like kind of blocking out like the noise because like like as you know, like just like the sounds like they can like just make mess up your day or just like mess up your your vibe and stuff.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like and and if they do weird stuff like in the com if for like a community it's like oh don't do that, that's weird to to could but you're like no he that's his way of call you know yeah his brain uh yeah um relaxing or whatever.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um like uh I forget what it's called.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's not a not a tick or something like that.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh not fidgety.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_02: There's a word for it, but I can't think in my head.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's like um like it's just kind of soothe them and stuff like that, like how like a cat kind of like you know, like grooms itself because like it's like overstimulated.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean that's part of it, but like whatever.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_00: But like um, they do that, but like um it's like if you tell them no, like like don't tell them no, just let them explain explain them why and stuff like that.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and like that's because like I'm not a parent, I just know it works for me.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_02: And I I was like, uh if if this works for me, might work with someone else, but like I'm not sure.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and just so everyone's different.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: So doing all this stuff that you're doing, this helps this helps your brain out.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, what did you say?
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm like, um, I'm pretty sure as like as you probably know, like um a lot of people on the spectrum, like they're hyper-fixated on certain things or certain topics, so they make stories up.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like, um, I'm basically I was like hyper-fixated on learning about this because I've always been like wanting to know more about like everything and stuff.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_02: So um this is one subject I was really interested in because like I always had an act of like taking information that I I learned, yeah, like pop culture, like music and stuff, and like trying to like make an interesting conversation out of it.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_02: So I was like, I wonder if this would be interesting, and like just people loved it so far.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oh so crazy, yeah.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, it's been uh it's been a real big privilege because like people like the dude's weird and you're not gonna talk about this, but like no, people like they love this thing, and it's been like a big thing.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly, finally, yeah.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_02: That's a good thing, yeah.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_02: No, no, and like I think your podcast is cool too.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you you give like like people like voices, like that, like a good like um reach and stuff, you know?
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_02: And like I thought, like, oh, that's a good like way to like promote myself, promote everyone else, and stuff like that, and then everyone else would help me out and stuff, but like um, but yeah, no, it's been a good time.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: But what's it what's in the future?
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_02: Like, where do you see it going?
• 43:32

• 46:11
  SPEAKER_02: I think he was from closer, so like 95 to the fragile, I think 2001, or you know, the fragile.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_02: But I know he played with perfect circle next, and like just he was big, he's from corpus.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if he like something I would like to like interview him and talk with him, but like cool, but just like I don't know him.
• 46:30
  SPEAKER_02: He he's probably like you know, a more like busier life, and just yeah, you you don't know these like kind of like people and something like that.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_02: So you always like, hey, can I arrange this to be okay with this?
• 46:41
  SPEAKER_02: And just like you know, you know, so it's always like I would like to in the future, but like but I don't know if that's never gonna happen, but like I've been having luck talking with local, local people like with some of the corporate, oh, you from this band?

  SPEAKER_00: I was like, What are you serious?
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: It was totally unexpected, yeah.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_02: I know, and just I guess like just the connections that you have with people, it helps the yeah, I guess that because I I was here, I was hearing someone, I think my uncle's uh friend told me, but basically, um statistically, you're kind of like I think five persons away from like um knowing someone like you're on that thing, something like that.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you could be like somewhere like on like New York, and like there's a person that like five persons away, know someone from like I guess your like neighborhood or whatever, it is a chance.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_02: I forget the like the exact percentage, but I know it's like a small percentage, but like it's it's still there.

• 49:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um me and Joaquin, we saw Limbiscuit together.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_02: I think with the pan, like I think it was a venue called no, it was a festival called Rock Lahoma.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_02: We saw uh Pantera and like one day we saw Limbiscit the next day, and like dude, he could still sing, but like, dude has like a big white beard, and it's just like yeah, but yeah, no, it was experienced seeing like all the the DJ Little and like the old guys and stuff, all the crew.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's cool, but yeah, no, but yeah, let me show you the actual ticket stubs from Lady Ladies Nine in Cambodia.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, dude.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, no, there's the guy who donated the post to me for like the gallery.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so it doesn't say ticket stubs.
• 50:37
  SPEAKER_02: Wow, look at that.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if you can't see it, but like it says um Weta Entertainment 462 Inc.
• 50:44
  SPEAKER_02: presents Ladies' Night in Cambodia, Texas Guy Festival Park, Friday, uh March 27, 1998, 8 p.m.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_00: Werta Entertainment.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_02: That's like Abweta, he's a lawyer dude I was telling you about the guy that from uh Texas Guy, the owner from Texas, yeah, yeah.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_02: So um Wow, that's amazing.
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_02: He was the owner, but like um, I probably should get to it or something like that.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_02: But uh basically he worked with Dryland until he changed the name to Texas Sky because Johnny and Canada's left, you know, just to do his own thing.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_02: So he's Texas Sky.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_02: But he partnered with uh a promoter from like I think the Austin area, uh Jerry Latouf.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_02: And Jerry Latouf um he brought a lot, a lot of music, like big bands to Corpus.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_02: He's the one who brought like Lollapalooza here and stuff.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_02: Oh wow.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like he's passed away like a long time ago, but like you can still see like his handprints and like just the Corpus Chrissie scene and stuff.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_02: But um but um that's amazing, dude.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of great shows happened in Texas Sky, but it ultimately came to an end because um um Abu Rueta's son like was in a bad skiing accident.
• 51:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh no.
• 51:51
  SPEAKER_02: And just he felt like, you know what, I probably shouldn't do this concert thing anymore.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_02: I should and he basically turned um Texas Sky into a big like mega church place, so just like out an outdoor service and stuff.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so that that was the end of a chapter of like corpus like music for a while, because like there wasn't really an option like for like bigger bands to come here, so like it just sort of stopped and we can't and then like it kind of opened again with Concrete Street because Jerry Latouf, who like was a promoter and manager at um Texas Guy, went out to make Concrete Street, and he did you probably know the Concrete Street, like in the cut the first couple of years of the run, crazy, crazy big, big, big names.
• 52:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I didn't bring it with me, but um there's a poster of it.
• 52:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um we display at the gallery, but it's a poster of Concrete Street of the first concert there was like Pantera, Soul Fly, and Morbid Angel.
• 52:43
  SPEAKER_02: That was at first, like that tells you anything was to be expected, like a concrete street, and for a good like almost like 12 or 13 years, like it was just rock, rock, rock, classic, big, like just big acts, but like that just because like just how everything goes now.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_02: But like a lot of like the bands that the big bands, like they did go to concrete street, don't go there anymore.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_02: I mean no offense to anyone, but like um they don't really go there anymore because like it's just too expensive, it's not really viable anymore.
• 53:10
  SPEAKER_02: But like not enough people will show up.
• 53:12
  SPEAKER_02: Is that what it is?
• 53:13
  SPEAKER_02: I I couldn't tell you the exact reason, but like it's just different, different environment, I guess, or just different market, just too expensive.
• 53:21
  SPEAKER_02: Because like, so I think like personally that um the house of rock and like smaller venues here in Corpus, like that's where you get like the not the big, big, big name artists, but you get like some like big name artists.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like you get like you get like um we had Alien Antfarm here, like recently at House of Rock.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_02: You probably saw that you probably heard about this show, and just like a lot of stuff happened, but like mainly we just got like a like club shows and a lot of like a lot of rock bands, a lot of death metal bands, a lot of punk bands to go to our small like club scene.
• 53:50
  SPEAKER_02: Like, um, I don't know if you've been ever been to the music venue here called Boozers, yeah.
• 53:54
  SPEAKER_02: So Boozers had like some really, really like fun, like hardcore bands and stuff.
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_02: I saw um DRI, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.
• 54:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_02: They're classic, like I think they're from like um Dallas.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um like they have different technicas for sure.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_02: They're really iconic thrash band.
• 54:09
  SPEAKER_02: They played at like boozers.
• 54:11
  SPEAKER_02: I remember saying that$15 there.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, this is wild.
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 54:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I saw another like really, really iconic sludge metal band called um I Hate God, and like, what a name, dude.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, whoa, and like I saw stuff, but like this I saw stuff, yeah.

• 54:58
  SPEAKER_02: My mom always told me that like um we should grow up where we're planted, you know.
• 55:02
  SPEAKER_02: We should help a community no matter what, you know.
• 55:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like I support like she supported like Alex community when we did live live there, but when we moved to Corpus, she she supports the corpus community as well.
• 55:13
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, yeah.
• 55:14
  SPEAKER_02: My family owns like we medical business practices here and stuff.
• 55:18
  SPEAKER_00: So you learned that from your mom from your parents, like yeah, parents.
• 55:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, yeah.
• 55:22
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my uncles like they they they did fun stuff when they were kids, but like they kind of like have families matured and like they get their doctors now, but like they did some stuff, like some fun stuff back when they were young.
• 55:34
  SPEAKER_02: And but like they're always talking like you work hard and you play hard.
• 55:38
  SPEAKER_03: Awesome.

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and that's what you do.
• 55:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm digging your shirt, man.

  SPEAKER_02: Was that Godzilla?
• 55:42
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, it's Godzilla.
• 55:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's a vintage, I think it's a it's a French one.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_02: I got it like at some comic book store in Austin, Texas, because I think Austin Books and Comics.
• 55:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think I was like middle school.
• 55:52
  SPEAKER_02: That's like so.
• 55:54
  SPEAKER_02: I think at one time my uncle lived in Austin, and like I'll I would hang out with him, visit him.
• 55:58
  SPEAKER_02: We'd go around shops and stuff.
• 56:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's also a lot of the shows, and just like I saw Flaming Lips, yeah.
• 56:04
  SPEAKER_02: I saw Wu Tang clan there.
• 56:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's like a lot of cool shows.
• 56:07
  SPEAKER_02: Also, I saw my first ministry show with them.
• 56:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, so I noticed that you like ministry, dude.
• 56:13
  SPEAKER_00: I love ministry, yeah.
• 56:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, also um one of the members from Anchor Watch, I think I think is Adam Grossman.
• 56:19
  SPEAKER_02: I think if I'm if I'm wrong, I'm I apologize, but I think he worked with the ministry during the 90s, or just I could be wrong, but I'm I'm pretty sure he did.
• 56:29
  SPEAKER_02: Or one of the Anchor Watch members worked in ministry.
• 56:31
  SPEAKER_00: It was it ministry first or Rob's or uh White Zombie?
• 56:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like those two.
• 56:36
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I think like they're in the same scene and stuff like that.
• 56:38
  SPEAKER_02: So um Al Jorgensen, he did uh ministry, and I think I he might have like met up with like Rob Zombie and stuff, but it was like so ministry, white zombie, like I think white zombie did like runs in New York and stuff like that area, and then eventually they became famous, like you know, for like you know, 90s and stuff, Beavis and Butthead, and just whatever.
• 56:58
  SPEAKER_02: They came here, they played here '94 at uh Giant Land.
• 57:01
  SPEAKER_02: And eventually um Rob Zombie became Rob Zombie, you know, just a solo act and stuff.
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 57:07
  SPEAKER_02: And he did his you know thing, as you saw.
• 57:09
  SPEAKER_02: And also the first one of like the first Rob Zombie tour was took place in Corpus Christi.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 57:14
  SPEAKER_02: Because like his band White Zombie had a good time here, so like let's just say, you know, he's bringing his like his new band here in Corpus.
• 57:20
  SPEAKER_02: And like that was the last hard rock band to play here, uh at Texas guy, like right before it became religious venue.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_02: A big church.
• 57:29
  SPEAKER_00: Right, right on what do you think about the music scene now and where it's going here in the in the town in Corpus?
• 57:35
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's really good and something like that.
• 57:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think we we have like a like while when I've been going to local shows, something like that.
• 57:40
  SPEAKER_02: I see like these young kids like just exploring different genres, like just like death metal, punk, ska, country.
• 57:47
  SPEAKER_02: Updog is interesting.
• 57:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, no, they're a ska, yeah.
• 57:50
  SPEAKER_02: And I met them like just going around local shows and like that, you know.
• 57:53
  SPEAKER_02: You don't know who's gonna like blow up be big and stuff like that.
• 57:56
  SPEAKER_02: And like at the price of tickets we have, you know, a house of rock, or just like studio B or like even like Boozer or something like that, like like you're seeing really good live music there and stuff, you're being exposed to it and stuff.
• 58:07
  SPEAKER_02: I think most music or art is like it's good.
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_02: It's if if it's live performed, you know, in front of people, it's like I think it's admirable.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know about sometimes like it's not like everyone's cup of tea, but I think it's admirable, you know.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like it's very interesting.
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's like appreciation.
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 58:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I think like um the scene is like the kids are doing it now, they're exploring, they're doing different things.
• 58:28
  SPEAKER_02: We live in a an age like you know, like with air nest and some like that social media, yeah.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_02: So it's easier to promote stuff.
• 58:34
  SPEAKER_02: So uh sometimes you do see like posters, sometimes, but like um, like but most of the time it's like just someone made like um word of mouth or just like an Instagram post with a picture.
• 58:44
  SPEAKER_02: You you kind of don't really see like paper, like flyers.
• 58:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you do sometimes, but like not all the time though.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_00: Or even like like I wanted like CDs or like Yeah, just digital streaming, yeah.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of yeah, yeah, it's kind of done.
• 58:55
  SPEAKER_02: But like um, I have a feeling that like um CDs might make a comeback.
• 59:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm thinking so because like like vinyl, like vinyl records, that made a comeback, I think, the 2000.
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_02: I think I couldn't tell you what year, but I remember like in middle school.
• 59:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's like 2008, nine, or ten or somewhere.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's just like the Best Buy was selling vinyls again.
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what the f we have a 2006 Honda that still has a CD player in it, and we got a CD from the Shattered Sun show.
• 59:24
  SPEAKER_00: What my daughter, that was her first show the other night.
• 59:28
  SPEAKER_00: Shattered Sun.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_00: We got a t-shirt, and the the lady selling the merch, which is I think Mark Mark's wife, and like yeah, yeah.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_00: So she gave my daughter a CD and a few posters, and my daughter had been wanting to put a CD in the C.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_01: And that's the first CD she put in there, dude.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_01: What experience, like sister?
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what a weird concept.
• 59:49
  SPEAKER_02: Because I remember like CDs.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_02: I remember like I had like um the first time I remember buying, like I think it was in fourth grade, I bought like the 10,000 Days tool album or something like that.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_02: The other times, like my I got CDs to like my uncles, even my mom.
• 1:00:01
  SPEAKER_02: My mom, my mom's the one who introduced me to Metallica.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_02: So my mom's always been like, you know, like I guess hip in that sense, you know, with music.
• 1:00:09
  SPEAKER_02: But um, but I remember 10,000 Days getting CD being a big deal.
• 1:00:13
  SPEAKER_02: But like for a kid nowadays to be excited about a CD when there's like the streaming and digital like things like it's a it's a weird concept, but I think I think the young generation is probably gonna go back to CDs.
• 1:00:25
  SPEAKER_00: Just like I just like uh not too long ago, the the generation started going to the vinyl.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:00:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm saying, yeah.
• 1:00:31
  SPEAKER_00: I remember uh Maya he he would he he was getting into vinyl too.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_02: And that was like in the 70s when it was like really yeah, big in what it's the best quality, like um, because the vinyl record is like the one of the best qualities you could have gotten in the 70s, and like a port, I guess a like a more like portable sound, because you had like a track, you had cassettes and stuff like that.
• 1:00:50
  SPEAKER_02: But the close thing might be close, like a like a real to real, I guess, but like it it's like super expensive and rare back then.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.

• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_02: But I met Matt, I think, I think it's the theater building or like just in the cafeteria or one of the one that one of the buildings there in town cc.
• 1:01:44
  SPEAKER_02: We're just talking like but he knew a lot of my like my friends, like my Alice buckles and stuff.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, you know this guy, oh I'm gonna say that's weird, dude.
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_02: But we became friends, I knew him all over the years.
• 1:01:57
  SPEAKER_02: I I talked to him sometimes, he's hustling and stuff like that.
• 1:02:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know how it is, and he's from San Diego, and you're like, Well, that's basically Alice.
• 1:02:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's like yeah, I don't know like how like this offended, or just like people like like I remember like a lot of people San Diego, they come to Alice like that.
• 1:02:12
  SPEAKER_02: So, like they say from Alice.
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, I mean, uh we're from San Diego, and it's like I don't I don't get in the whole discussion, but like you claim wherever you want to be, you know, you're like like people like mom's like I claim from Austin from Austin, whatever you're like you've been there for like 10 years, or like and you're born somewhere else, like and you're like, I just think you're like a natural born Austin citizen at that point.
• 1:02:31
  SPEAKER_02: You're like there that long or something like that, but like, yeah, San Diego and Alice, it's like I was saying too, like um the um the eventually I want to bring the gallery and like just like music property I'm doing is like Moncover, like most self tech, like the San Diego scene, the Alice scene, yeah, being the Kingsville scene, the Rob, like because like those like small communities, even the Randy's Pass Rock part and whatever, they played in Corpus, they had a big influence in Corpus too.
• 1:02:56
  SPEAKER_02: Like they had a like a bigger part.
• 1:02:58
  SPEAKER_02: I used to get like um like people like why aren't you covering this?
• 1:03:01
  SPEAKER_02: Why aren't you covering that?
• 1:03:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, I mean, this is the one that I got the most information from and stuff.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I have at the moment.
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_02: I would like to cover more stuff, like if possible, if it's connected to corpus right now.
• 1:03:11
  SPEAKER_02: Because corpus is kind of the easiest, like kind of like center point to talk about because a lot of people are from Corpus, yeah.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like kind of like the the mecha music that back in the 90s, 80s, so it's easier to find stuff from Corpus.
• 1:03:23
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I know Alice has some stuff, yeah.
• 1:03:26
  SPEAKER_02: I know like Kings or like whatever has like other stuff too, but like I I haven't found it yet, or I've been told I haven't read I haven't I seen it, but I haven't like found like a good like poster and stuff of it.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:36
  SPEAKER_02: But eventually I hope to like cover like South Texas, yeah, for sure.
• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_02: And eventually that's cool.
• 1:03:40
  SPEAKER_02: I a goal of mine, I would like to like do a traveling like gallery show where I was like, oh dude, corpus physics, you'd seen here's our other stuff.
• 1:03:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'd be like bring it to like Austin, Texas, Dallas, Texas, whatever.
• 1:03:51
  SPEAKER_02: Just show it off.
• 1:03:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like just because I'm proud of like my corpus scene and stuff a lot, you know.
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_02: And I think like, you know, I think since you had a band and stuff like that, I think you should be like, um, and and the if we find any of your stuff, like any of your old like you know, posters, whatever, like pictures, post it on the Facebook page because I think that that's like the best, like exposing community to like what you've committed like you did and stuff.
• 1:04:13
  SPEAKER_02: And I was also talking about Tony by Tony Gomez of Kilmore.
• 1:04:16
  SPEAKER_02: I was telling you earlier, a lot of people just did it one time, like they they stopped doing it because they like families just work or something like that.
• 1:04:22
  SPEAKER_02: But when I did play, they put it there all, they give it the all and stuff like that.
• 1:04:26
  SPEAKER_02: Cause like that's what they like wanted to do is like expressing themselves, you know.
• 1:04:29
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta respect that.
• 1:04:30
  SPEAKER_02: Just sometimes just life happens, you know.
• 1:04:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's just like you gotta work, yeah, you gotta eat.
• 1:04:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's like the band thing's like it's not cutting it.
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
• 1:04:39
  SPEAKER_02: Wow, and you gotta like just just kind of like figure out what works the best thing for you.
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_02: But like I think being a band is probably like the best thing to do, like express express yourself, or one of the better ways to, I think.
• 1:04:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's it's an awesome feeling to be able to play your songs in front of people and hope and that knowing that they like it is actually even better because you're like, oh shoot, they like our stuff, and we put so much work into it, like you actually create these riffs just out of nowhere, you know, and these drum drum tracks or whatever, and it's just like oh shoot, I want to put this out.
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like even Matt there creating this thing and putting it out.
