While laying around, feeling bad, and taking antibiotics, I’ve re-explored my New Bomb Turks collection after thinking more and more about their mind-alteringly intense live “reunion” show on May 17 here in Austin, at Emo’s, on the last night of Chaos In Tejas.

TOP 10 FAVORITE MOMENTS FROM CHAOS IN TEJAS 2008 10. Favorite thing about the fest overall: That it happened thanks to the organizing effort and hard work of Timmy Hefner, and that the assortment of bands was as eclectic (from Roky Erickson to Tragedy to Los Crudos, etc.) and spot-on as it was.

The Victim of Time blog wrote a good (pre-show) writeup about the 2008 Chaos in Tejas festival HERE. A post-fest review is at Austin360.com HERE. A lot happened within a very short of amount of time during the fest, which was officially 3 days long, but which really lasted more like 5 days.

Just a reminder: Wow: Roky Erickson and World Burns to Death at one fest? A very catholic assortment of bands. And don’t forget that New Bomb Turks are still slated to play a May 17 reunion show at Emo’s as well. I guess a parallel show to Chaos? I have tickets to both.

Chaos in Tejas is coming once again this year to Emo’s in May, and yet another impressive roster has been assembled, not the least of which includes the reformed Los Crudos, Japan’s Crude in their only US show, some Swedish and Spanish action going on, and one of my fave current HC bands, Canada’s Under Pressure.
