I wasn’t into the “turn a 4 minute song into a 30 minute jam session” thing.

That's almost as offensive as "Sharon Tate's Baby," who I saw at Raul's once.

[Deej 77296]

Never seen them, but damn if their bumper stickers weren't everywhere.

The successor band to STB was Jerry's Kids.

[Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand 13597]

I don't think anyone ever saw Titty Bingo.

WHILE I was at UT, True Believers on the front end and Agony Column, Sincola, Jon Boy on the tail to just out. Rievers were solid as well. Few years beyond, Sixteen Deluxe.

 

I worked with Wayne from Little Sister at TJ Maxx when he first moved to Austin. The couple of times I played with him made me realize I was retarded.

I saw titty bingo. I bet nobody else here did.

I saw Titty Bingo on the trash can at the back of the Oltorf Music Lab several times a week for about 6 years.

[jimmyjazz 46526]

JohnBoy.  There's a blast from the past.  They were Helmet if Helmet were a punk band.

I remember an insane SXSW showcase somewhere downtown in a huge open air venue -- must have been a parking lot or maybe Republic Square -- JohnBoy killed.  That bill also featured a stupid band from Houston called Genitorturers that featured a half-naked chick singer and a fair amount of bondage/S&M shit.

Ha. That sounds about right.

My buddy owned a lake house on travis in a secluded cove. Only two houses in that cove....his and Dahr Jamail’s. Titty Bingo practiced almost every weekend and we’d float in the cove and watch/listen to them. They also played for a party at his house.

This was around 92-98....somewhere in there. I am not sure how many gigs they played out publicly but it wasn’t many I don’t believe. But damn those stickers were everywhere.

If I'm being real, I always thought it was some sort of "thing" and not a band.  Pretty sure I saw the titty bingo sticker, heard about chicken shit bingo, and then for years just conflated the two.

[VolenteHawk 495]

George Devore side hugged, kissed my then girlfriend now wife on the cheek at Antone’s in 2001...thought she was somebody else. I’ve always hated that guy.

I moved here in 99. Lotsa Vallejo and Scab shows while I explored town.

I don’t like them but was surprised nobody mentioned Blue October. Then Wiki told me they’re from Houston. Gotdamn they were here a lot for a while.

[jimmyjazz 46526]

OK, I was gonna comment on George Devore and Vallejo, but hey, opinions and all.  I'm pretty sure Blue October was from San Marcos (?), but they were definitely, 100% USDA Grade A insufferable.

Their guitarist (Bill something) was a friend of a friend.  Fred was a terrific drummer, and Hoaky was hysterical.  They were sort of a Dixie-fried Uncle Tupelo meets Camper Van Beethoven.  Loved 'em.

Bill Davis.

Dash was great.  Hoaky is now a yacht broker and marine surveyor in the Miami area.    

[jimmyjazz 46526]

Hoaky is a yacht broker.  That's absolutely perfect.

[CooterBrown 18115]

I remember Titty Bingo bumper stickers back in the mid 80s. Maybe that was their heyday of actually playing live.

Blue October was originally from San Marcos, then Austin, and now Houston. They’ve always sucked.

Haha! I saw Genitorturers at the Back Room! Jon Boy was a pummeling of sound.

The Impossibles.

Maybe Vallejo? David Garza?

I never much liked a lot of the big ones like The Scabs or Soulhat.

Most of the stuff I was into was shortly after college and mainly in the pop-punk scene... Cruiserweight, Dynamite Boy, Ritalin Kids, Victory Drive, Recover, and a handful of other bands whose names I cannot remember 15-ish years later. I was friends with the Cruiserweight clan and thus friends-in-law with most of the members of said bands.

Victory Drive. Ha. We probably know each other. 

Born to Lose

Dynamite Boy

Ritalin Kids

Impossibles

Flametrick Subs

Gourds

Austin Transit Authority

Bad Livers

Texas Meat Purveyors 

Sixteen Deluxe

Oh, and Willie Nelson

I always assumed Titty Bingo was a joke because of how ubiquitous their stickers were, but I'd never met anyone who ever saw them.

I forgot about Born to Lose. Saw them quite a few times. And while I only saw ATA once I knew the bassist fairly well because he was roommates with the Maxwell guys for several years and was in a band with them, pre-Cruiserweight, called Red Boxing.
