Strange Daze - Austin Groove Vol. 2

The Politics of Music in the Live Music Capitol of the World. The life and death of a southern music culture experiment.
produced by Glaze Studio http://www.glaze.net and http://www.musictexas.com 2 hour feature Documentary Film.

A southern groove culture soap opera with a
political backbeat.

Austin is known world wide for hippies, music and politics— which definitely makes for a diverse "weird" local culture. As George Bush went from the Governor's mansion in Austin to the White house in Washington D.C. there was a redirection plan set into action in Austin and in towns across America. The incorporation of style, the value of American liberty and fear is reflected in the choices those in power make for us all—smart Growth?

This film follows the path of the Austin Music Community over the past 11 years and how artists, musicians and filmmakers succeeded in creating an audience for original homespun television media but was shackled when given the dubious task of turning a politically charged Public Access Channel into a "for profit" entity featuring music on a 24/7 basis. Held together by shoe strings, Shiner beer, cigarettes, and passionate community of radio, television and film industry devotees, the Austin Music Network survived on practically no budget for years.

The Politics of Music in the Live Music Capital of the of the World.

Live Performances by Bob Schneider, Pushmonkey, Patrice Pike, John Pointer, M.C. Overlord, Vallejo, Lisa Tingle, Ultrasonic, Guy Forsyth, Podunk, Patricia Vonne, Natalie Zoe, Malford Milligan, Asylum Street Spankers, The Illustrated Band and many more.
