A Look Back: Exploring the rich history of live music in Austin.
Today’s topic: Fugazi @ Liberty Lunch in 1995.
Growing up, I had a fair share of musical acts recommended to me,
primarily via two personal sources, besides the staple radio and
television suggestions. My father entrusted me with some of his finest
tapes – quite a wide variety – Black Sabbath, Kraftwerk, Simon &
Garfunkel, and The Police. My cousins’ collections turned out to be a
useful secondary supply and would lead to the hair metal mania that duly took over the Mind of Adi until the early 90s. Yes, thank them for the RATT in me. All was not lost, though – I would continue to find time for
cheese-free acts like INXS, U2, Crowded House, and Midnight Oil.
Still, there was work to be done, more musical education to be
acquired, and more live concerts to attend...all of which would change
my life.
