The greatest band in Austin playing an incredible show last night, and it wasn't at some fancy club downtown. Nobody had to pay for parking, with the exception of the one guy whose car got towed. And everyone looked and smelled terrible by the time the show was over. The band was The Eastern Sea and the venue was some beat up house on Cole Street that may forever be cursed with the sweet aroma of Lonestar beer.If you've never been to house show then you are missing out on something incredible. Sure it is crowded and sweaty and the sound is sort of terrible, but the concert becomes something completely different. It becomes something much more intimate and personal. It becomes a story that you can tell you're friends. I've been following The Eastern Sea since their creation five years ago and I've seen them more times than I can count (Not in a bragging kind of way, but an embarrassing obsession way) and last night was easily one of the most memorable shows that I've seen them play.
