Pictured above is Austin's The Anchor who are touring the U.S. promoting their new self-titled A.D.D. debut and made stop at Mr. T's Bowl on Wednesday. Perhaps the most significant part of that sentence is that we were at Mr. T's Bowl -- the first time in many months. The place has changed a bit more, adding more lounge space stage right, and even for a night of all-punk bands the sound was really good. Arlo told us that it sometimes takes being away from the club to realize that it's always sounded good, but he's also a crazy ol' man. In any case, we may have to set up another show there now. Who wants to play?
