Barracuda, Austin Live Rock Venues still exist.

A lot has been made and read about Austin's self proclaimed, "Live Music Capitol of the World Status." Is this moniker really true? Maybe.

Last night I personally went and attended a $29 dollar ticket to see one of my favorite Rock Bands of All-time, "The Get Up Kids" backstage at the Barracuda. The Barracuda is a genuine, dark, boozy, 2 stage rock venue in the Red River District of Austin Texas, downtown on 7th street.

The atmosphere is rock club authentic. $5 dollar tall boy beer, loud stage pumping music, friendly conversational rock club goers, and a navigable atmosphere.

"The Get Up Kids" a rock, indie, emo 5 piece band from Kansas City were excellent. I got too excited and amped, but overall I had an excellent time. They played wonderfully, encore and all.

I even got to snap a quick photo with the lead singer of MINERAL, another excellent Rock Band.

So, don't forget if you are going to pay the high rental, property tax and residential living costs to call Austin, Texas Home, remember to leave your place and go let loose and rumble within Austin, Texas every so often.

Best Life Regards.

Bonnie Fish McGee's Spooky 1st Birthday Party! Oct. 19th, 2024. Good times.

Keeping Up with ATX local and Real Estate Broker George Vance McGee....

So GVM, how are you feeling these days? What is the married, family man, new dad lifestyle? Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, despite my youthful glow and aura, I'm now "over the hill" at 42 years of age. Physically I still feel pretty darn good. I try to cycle often on the hike and bike trail of lady bird lake. I've even bought a bicycle rack for my 2010 Nissan Rogue SUV. As a Real Estate Industry person, I apologize if my lack of a Range Rover or Mercedes Benz car ownership doesn't suffice. In regards to health, being a newborn dad will really sober you up. Coffee has long since replaced booze in my blood system. When you routinely wake up circa 7:00 am to hug your baby daughter, change her diaper, feed her, have playtime and then drive her to daycare/preschool you need to feel healthy, rested and alert. 1 thing I do miss as a responsible married family man, is the carefree, outgoing, live music and bar hopping nightlife of Austin, Texas.
