The FIXX and The English Beat

Tue, 10/19 | 7pm
The Paramount Theatre

THE FIXX has been heralded as one of the most innovative bands to come out of the MTV era. Instantly recognizable, The FIXX sound is unmistakably unique with songs such as “One Thing Leads To Another,” “Red Skies” and “Saved By Zero” remaining everyday staples.

When The English Beat rushed on to the music scene in 1979, it was a time of social and musical upheaval. The band managed to fuse all of their respective musical influences – soul, reggae, pop and punk – into a unique sound that was highly danceable, becoming one of the most popular and influential bands of the British Two-Tone Ska Movement.

It all started with one machine. The Mega64: a console that makes video games appear real. That’s the premise behind the San Diego public access show that began in 2003. Creating sketches that took game concepts awkwardly into reality, the show was unlike any other. Years and hundreds of millions of views later, Mega64 has created countless short films, TV commercials, full length projects and unforgettable collaborations with the biggest names in the gaming industry.

Tim Harrington was a good man, and friend of many. He was relatable, authentic, funny, caring and social.    George Vance..... Just making sure you know that Tim Harrington passed away last weekend. Heart attack.  Tim’s Memorial Service will be: 2/29/24 at 2 PM at Austin Ridge Bible Church at 9300 Bee Cave Rd, Austin, TX 78733 in Westlake. At the Worship Center building. Please spread the word. GVM speaking here, "Tim showed up on my 40th birthday at Pitch N Putt for an afternoon of golf and bullshit. Tim was in good spirits that afternoon after boasting of his mega million dollar commercial fresh sale in SoCo.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
