Trans-Am owners looking to update their music collection need look no further than Austin's Bright Light Social Hour. The quartet plays party music plain and simple, with equal parts funk, synth rock, and vintage 70's boogie straight out of
Dazed and Confused. The group swept up at last year's Austin Music Awards and more recently shared a bill with Aerosmith. We were especially excited to welcome these guys to the new studios as our first live guest because they helped us break-in the new building last summer with a special performance for the construction crew. Check out that video
here! So if you like your music with long hair and low low v-necks be sure to check out our inaugural performance from the brand new Studio 1a with The Bright Light Social Hour. Enjoy!...
