Ready to Rumble?

Born in San Francisco but destined for Austin, The Rumble, a monthly indie-rock party-happening taking place in many cities nationwide, is finally here. TV Torso will headline the show this coming Thursday at Beerland. But TV Torso gets plenty of attention here so right now let’s turn our minds to Dirty Dancing.

A challenge to google but a pleasure to hear, Dirty Dancing are a magical duo (Eric Schoen & Lauren Mikus) with the splendidly titled recent album Mediocrity is the Strongest Inevitability. They also lay claim to birthing the phrase "blood is the new black"; so they have that going for them. Which is nice.
