The JUDYS in concert at SXSW 2008 - Austin, TX

[thrillho]

I had no idea they reunited. If I had've known, I would have done anything to get a plane ticket to fly to austin to see them. The Judys are so so so good. So ahead of their time. Looks like so much fun there.

i met the lead singer's younger brother today at work and he told me about this band because i told him my name was judy. had never heard of them before, but they're cool! :)

[TdyYrLove]

How do I get this song on my Pandora radio station?

[Tenifus]

Haha the lead singer was a teacher at my 6th grade school.

[nommadd2006]

God what memories. I'm so glad other people remember. Thanks for putting this on here.

[JLIV461]

When are they going to be in Houston, or anywhere in Texas? Does he ever perform with the Dishes? I'll pay good money for a copy of the Dishes album he worked on.

[kerwoodderby]

I saw them the night I graduated from college, at Eastgate Live in College Station. August 12, 1988. Great show.

[KYLETARBUCK]

I wish these guys would do a show in the UK so much!

[theotherrob2]

OH MY LORD I LOVED THIS BAND. Still do. Wow, they absolutely MADE my teen years better.

[jamesandrew2000]

Lived in Houston back then. The Judys were a wave band that put on quirky fun shows and in the crowd would be skaters, metal dudes, feathered hair Journey fans, GBH mohawks etc, etc. Fun times.

@jamesandrew2000 Believe it or not a few of us Hip-Hoppers from South Park,K.G.and Denver Harbor jammed The Judy's too, when "Mesopatamia" dropped in '82(my senior year at H.S.H.P. DeBakey H.S.) they opened for the B-52's at the Coliseum no I believe it was Jones Hall (can't quite remember which, it was quite a show&party). A great era in music disco break beats were being morphed into hip-hop and punk was spawning new wave and it crossed over. The Judy's were the truth, straight outta H-town.

[evillive1995]

the singer taught at my middle school! he still does but im in high school now

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

Since there's no other current forum to post this: I saw a 1981 bootleg CD with *3* songs that aren't even among the rare ones listed at thejudy's-dot-com! One was "The Food That Fell From Outer Space" but someone beat me to buying it!!! - 1b2s

PS: Order stuff from the band at wastedtalentrecords-dot-com, cuz DB's still too lazy/crazy to keep them in stock at record stores, even here in AUSTIN!!! Your fave Judy's LPs ARE on CD + T-shirts 'n' crap , all directly from the lads themselves!!!!!

[htownbrown]

i was completely unaware of this show or i would have been there! wow. can't believe this one got by me. i was introduced to their music in late high school (92ish) by a buddy of mine that had the washarama tape. i don't think they weren't doing shows anymore at that point. man, this would have been cool to check out. thanks for posting the video!

[Wishpool]

I'm from Houston and loved The Judy's in high school (early 80s)! I volunteered at SXSW in Austin for many years - how did I miss this show?!? :(

[1nceBitten2wiceShy]

Hey, I was essentially responsible for the show, and I still almost missed it! Instead, though, as David Bean led me in a rush to the backstage area, I actually ended up "shining off" a hello wave from Britt Daniel of SPOON! (I'm sure BD understood, though, since he is as aware of DB's godhood as one would expect. - 1b2s

[Darnealo]

Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos..ah the SWT college days!!

[mahabreta]

Dang I miss this band. Ah well, at least I've got Washateria on LP (if I can ever figure out how to get it onto MP3).

[tessa3605]

the lead singer is a teacher at my school.

[KillerKards]

nuh uh

[tessa3605]

well he was. i moved up to junior high but he still works at the school i went to

[damnibefamous]

I only saw The Judy's in Dallas. I saw Brave Combo @ Liberty Lunch (I recall purchasing their World Dance Music album there ... I remember a particular female too, but I don't remember her name.)

[BassmanD]

Saw The Judys a couple of times in Dallas at The Hot Club. GREATNESS! Loved those days, and loved this band!

[damnibefamous]

Where I saw the Judy's in Dallas was at that old movie theatre that burned down a few years ago on lower Greenville ave. (the Arcadia) ...

I first heard Guyana Punch ... geez, those cults were/are something to sing about.
