Props To The Shops
Waterloo in AustinThis week's props go to Waterloo Records on North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas in the US of A.
Here's a famous customer J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jnr checking out the store (pictured).
Huw spent too much money there at this year's South by South West, where the shop held loads of instores during the week.
He met up with John T.Klunz, the shops owner,Ìý Here's what John says:
'The store is the sourcing point for music lovers from around the globe to find and check out the recorded output from the 1400+ bands showcasing during SxSW, as well as all the local bands from the fertile Texas musical landscape.'
The incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff at Waterloo also serve as information central for where to get the best Mexican breakfast tacos, late night bar-b-que, cowboy boots etc.
Again this year, Waterloo hosted 15 amazing bands for free in-store performances and artist autograph sessions, including Go!Team, Wolf Mother, KT Tunstall, People in Planes, Lady Sovreign, Nada Surf and Rogue Wave -- only fitting for the celebrated record shop in Austin Texas, the 'live music capital of the world.'
Here's what Huw says - 'It's ace!'
