It holds true, too, as one of the guiding principles behind Darker Still, the seventh full-length album to be born of this picturesque and serene corner of north-eastern NSW, Australia, and the defining musical statement to date from one of modern metal’s most revered bands.ĭarker Still, McCall says, is the vision he and his bandmates – guitarists Jeff Ling and Luke Kilpatrick, bassist Jia O’Connor and drummer Ben Gordon – have held in their mind’s eye since a misfit group of friends first convened in their parents’ basements and backyards in 2003. This, the PARKWAY DRIVE vocalist says, is a pretty good summation of him-self. In the kitchen of the Byron Bay home of Winston McCall stands a refrigerator, adorned on one side by a quote from Tom Waits: “I want beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.” Pulse Of The Early Brain (Switched On Volume 5) Ī Primer Of Holy Words And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of DeadĪrrow: 10th Anniversary Where The Crawdads Sing (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Stars And Satellites: 10 Year Anniversary KISS Off The Soundboard: Live In Des Moines The Man From Waco įreewave Lucifer f-ck f-ck f-ck

PREORDER Dayglow - People in Motion plus Catalog Vinylĭarker Still.The Cactus Cafe remains an integral part of Austin’s live music scene, booking both local and touring acts, as well as hosting open mic nights and other events for the campus and community. An agreement was made to keep the doors open, with the University radio station KUTX taking over booking and management.

The announcement was met with widespread outrage throughout the Austin community, and a group of over 25,000 residents, musicians, students, and alumni organized to oppose the closure. Despite this praise, the University decided in 2010 that it would be closing the famous venue due to budget cuts. The Cactus Cafe was voted Austin’s “Best Acoustic Venue” every year from 2001 to 2011. Artists who have graced the Cactus stage since its founding include Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Williams, the Dixie Chicks, Lyle Lovett, and many others. Over the next few decades, Luneburg established the Cactus's high reputation by booking a number of influential musicians, and the venue became a launching pad for several notable careers. Luneburg worked there as a bartender while attending the University of Texas, but he was soon put in charge of booking the musical acts, eventually becoming the manager of the entire establishment.

Within a few years, the cafe acquired both a liquor license and its most instrumental employee, Griff Luneburg. The space changed again in 1979 when it became the Cactus Cafe, a live music venue and coffeeshop. The Chuck Wagon (and, as it was later known, the Potpourri) was a popular student hangout and a center of countercultural activity during the 1960s and 1970s. The corner of the Union Building that is currently occupied by the Cactus Cafe was originally a campus diner called the Chuck Wagon. The Union Building was built in 1933 and designed by the architect Paul Cret, who was also responsible for several other iconic buildings on campus. The Cactus Cafe is located in the University of Texas’s Union Building.
