Chances are that back in the 90's, Follow That Bird might have been labeled a Riot Grrrl band - some reviewers have even tossed out names like Sleater Kinney in their comparisons. Fair enough. But with all due respect to their...

Bill Baird will accept compliments rather quietly. There might be a slightly uncomfortable shift in his frame, or a momentary glance away, but it doesn't prevent someone like me (your Austin Music Minute host Laurie Gallardo) from offering compliments in the first place. So, there you have it. He's...

Brooklyn-based quartet Country Mice has sort of a deceptive moniker. It’s not so much country as it is psychedelic-garage and Southern rock. Not bad for some Midwestern guys who met up in New York. Front man Jason Rueger grew...
