Three episodes into Season 3 and we finally are joined by our amazing co-host, Gladys Fuentes! In this edition, Gladys goes toe-to-toe with veteran Austin rockers Hickoids! She and the band discuss the woulda-coulda-been band name nixed by co-founder and vocalist Jeff Smith and we get a history lesson in cowpunk from arguably one of the first bands to popularize the sound. Gladys tells the band its live sets are "disturbing and arousing" and you can judge for yourself with footage from Dan Electros and archival film from Hell 'N High Water Productions.

two years in, looking at what we’ve done well and could do better on and sharing that experience with others out there trying to make something happen in this bit.

we have met with so many amazing artists, from local friends like (our first guests!) and the unstoppable and Htown rock en espanol heroes and our fellow podcasters in (who have an incredible new album). it’s a music show, not a food podcast, but we ate chips and salsa with and talked Benihana with and enjoyed at . and we crowded in ’s tour bus to meet with one of ’s most-streamed artists. we did it all with the help of and , our original sponsors, the ones who also believe in the power of music and Houston creatives. they deserve another shout out here.

we’re a small but close team and as we march into S3, we hope to do everything better and grow our name so we can involve even more people we know and love in what we do. first objective is to add more followers to the show. you can help us with that by subscribing to our YouTube channel. just follow the link in comments (Facebook) or in the bio (IG).
