Info on CLOUSEAUX for you

Our Showcase:
Thursday, March 13
9:00
Opal Divines Freehouse
700 W. 6th St.

The Red Elvises and Brave Combo headline there that night. We're listed musically as "Other"!!

It's way-swank, all original exotica, mining the Martin Denny and Esquivel territory (and I just recorded a somewhat Yma Sumac-y part for a new song this weekend!). It's a big group, with the normal instrumentation, plus horns, percussion, a handful of us singers, a fire-eater, vibes - you name it!

Of course, the fire-eating thing may not go over so big inside a club right now... Shouldn't be a problem out by the pool at Tiki Oasis, however; no roof or walls to have been illegally covered with cheap, PETROLEUM-based packing materials instead of sound-insulation foam!! And our guy is a pro - toured with the circus, even (but he's not shudder a carny, nor does he smell of cabbage).

Oh, also found another tiki spot in Austin, a coffee shop called, um, I don't remember...dang. But I'll find out in time for SXSW. It's in a garden center, south part of town on Congress Ave, maybe.

See you there!
