OFF THE REC RDmusic54Forsaking the Song, Part 7MUSIC NEWS by Austin PowellPachangaBomba EstéreoFollowing last year’s breakthrough,Pachanga LatinoMusic Festival is expanding totwo days at Fiesta Gardens,May 21-22. According to promoterRich Garza, the fiestawill open with an evening-onlyaffair with some upscale diningoptions, while the Niños RockPachanga stage returns onSaturday. There’s no shortageof talent on board, with anothersmoldering cauldron of contemporarylocals (Brownout,David Garza, Hacienda,Amplified Heat) and more traditionalacts (Tortilla Factory),spiced with national attractionslike Tejano crooner Bobby Pulido,Colombian cumbia-psych duo andrecent South by SouthwestersBomba Estéreo (see SimónMejía’s Fest diary, “My SXSW,”March 19), and Tucson’s Y la Orkesta. “This band is like the bizarro GrupoFantasma who plays mambos instead of cumbias,” says Garza of the latter.“Their guitar player Brian Lopez is doing a solo set too. He’s like the ChicanoJeff Buckley.” Elsewhere on the festival circuit, C3 Presents announced thelineup for Lollapalooza this week, once again at Chicago’s Grant Park, Aug.6-8. Buried beneath the expected top tier of Soundgarden, Green Day, andLady Gaga are a few local surprises: Harlem, Wolfgang Gartner, DJ Mel, andC3’s newest client, the Band of Heathens. Likely holdovers for Austin CityLimits Music Festival, Oct. 8-10, include Arcade Fire, the Black Keys, theNational, and Cut Copy, while word on the street during SXSW pointed towardMuse as a possible headliner.Amy Cook 58 Texas Platters 84 Music ListingsThe future of the Cactus Cafe maybelong to the highest bidder. TexasUnion management is considering anoperating model that would allow a thirdpartycontractor to run the venue’s barand booking operations, with occasionalprogramming provided by various studentorganizations. UT administration isactively seeking a way around an IRSrule that prevents any more than thecurrently allotted 10% of Union spacefrom being operated by outside vendors.“All of the models are being fullyexplored by legal so that we fully understandwhat the implications are,” confirmsdean of students and SeniorAssociate Vice President for StudentAffairs Soncia Reagins-Lilly, whodeclined to comment on personnelissues involving the Cactus.The move isn’t surprising, given thatUniversity Unions Executive DirectorAndy Smith oversaw the privatization ofthe Union during a similar “budget crisis”in the early 1990s, a move thatrequired the administration to unilaterallyoverturn a student referendum againstthe measure. This new/old route wasn’ta part of any of the three proposals submittedto the Texas Union board forconsideration on Feb. 29 and contradictsSmith’s original claim that theCactus would go back into the Union’sinventory of rooms. While both theGraduate Student Assembly andStudent Government passed resolutionscalling for some form of representationin the process (the latter wasvetoed this week by outgoing SG PresidentLiam O’Rourke), the decision residesentirely with the office of Vice Presidentfor Student Affairs Juan González.“It became clear to me that a modelhad already been decided upon by theadministration,” says local attorney ReidNelson, who withdrew on Friday from aseven-member task force that was meetingweekly with administration officials todiscuss the proposals. Nelson, on behalfof the nonprofit Friends of the CactusCafe, which has raised more than$23,000 to support the venue, pushedfor a 12-month trial period that kept currentCactus operations the same butadded enhanced access for students inevery capacity.“Keeping current staff in place was notgoing to be discussed,” adds Nelson.JOHN ANDERSON… And Justice for AllDon’t expect New West to reissue AlejandroEscovedo’s Gravity anytime soon. Mere weeks afterthe Americana label won the bankruptcy auction forthe assets to Antone’s Records, Texas MusicGroup, and Texas Clef Entertainment Group,Judge Craig Gargotta of United States BankruptcyCourt, Western District of Texas, abated his decision,following a series of motions filed by the legalrepresentative for TCE’s James Heldt, and orderedthe debtors and creditors to undergo mediation onApril 19. If no agreement is reached, the case willgo back to court for the remaining motions, whichinclude a request to reopen the bidding in light ofHeldt’s upped ante ($300,000) before the terms ofsale return to confirmation hearing.Random PlayNot unlike the folks in neighboringStudio 6A, UT’s student-runradio station KVRX 91.7FM israising funds dedicated to a digitizationproject for its essentialLocal Live series with a benefit atKaribu (1209 E. Seventh) onFriday with Sunset, ReverseX-Rays, Zorch, and What onEarth?. Those doubting the causeneed look no further than the station’slatest comp, which featuresin-studio cuts from Fucked Up,Titus Andronicus, and CrystalAntlers, along with locals T Bird &the Breaks and the Eastern Sea.Reid Nelson addresses UT President Bill Powers at a town hall meeting, Feb. 2.On Tuesday night, however, UT officialsoutlined three distinct proposals: theaforementioned private model, “a selfoperatingmodel by which a Universityoffice oversees the Cactus Cafe program,as it is currently managed,” according tothe official UT blog (blogs.utexas.edu/cactuscafe), and finally, a split programmingventure between KUT Radio and studentorganizations, which doesn’t explicitly eliminatethe possibility of a third-party vendor.“We don’t have a specific plan, butit’s very exciting to be a part of moreAustin’s the BrightLight Social Hour landedtwo of the more interestinggigs this weekend. Thepromising indie-pop outfitperforms alongside L.A.X.and Carolina Liar at St.Stephen’s EpiscopalSchool on Saturday, followinga lacrosse shoot-outbetween UT and TexasA&M, then bounces over toAdult Swim’s free blockparty outside Emo’s onSunday with the FieryFurnaces, 6-10pm.traditional Cactus programming from acontent and community point of view,”relates Stewart Vanderwilt, stationmanager of KUT, which has been digitizingits Live at the Cactus series fromthe late 1980s and early 1990s. “We’reoptimistic, but we’re not driving the decisionprocess.”González is hosting an open forumon Wednesday, April 21, at 4:30pm tosolicit community input before presentinga decision to the Texas Union boardon April 30.At this rate, the court outcome may be affectedby the concurrent lawsuit filed by the estate of lateyodeler Don Walser, which is scheduled to beresolved May 12-14. That suit, which has beendelayed since November 2008, attempts to“pierce the corporate veil,” suing those three localmusic corporations listed above and the individualsresponsible for them – Randy Clendenen,Heinz Geissler, and Heldt, respectively – for fraudand breaches of contract and fiduciary duty. TheWalser estate seeks past due royalties fromWatermelon Records (see “Going for Broke,”June 18, 1999) and, in lieu of payment from TexasMusic Group, the rights to the master recordings.Ironically, the dispute is estimated at $300,000.Shortly before his unexpecteddeath in January, local political consultantand one-time drummer KellyFero oversaw remastering of thelone album he made with hisArgentine teen-pop group Schibbinz,1968’s Livin’ Free. Absurdly rare inLP form, the album – a mesmerizingcollection of starry-eyed pop jangles,Preflyte-era Byrds harmonies, andWestern surf instrumentals – wasrecently issued on CD by GuerssenRecords with three previously unreleasedtracks and will likely spur afew flashbacks for fans of Texas’first wave of psychedelia.a u s t i n c h r o n i c l e . c o m APRIL 9, 2010 T H E A U S T I N C H R O N I C L E 53
