Saw them at the Cactus one night years ago. Was it JD Foster who dragged me along? Yet, it's like a dream. Sometimes I wonder if it's a night I dreamed up. But no! Trash Man Shoes . These guys!!!! Now I know. It was real.

And to get your $1 an inch from the Chron you had to chase down an elusive Louis and his pica ruler on Friday afternoon.

Trip down memory lane. They were one of my fave's late 80's. I remember they played some very-well lit with natural light kind of hotel lounge in the middle of day for an early SXSW. In other words they were given a crappy slot. And they were just as big and fun sounding as ever. Great energy.

Thanks so much for educating the great unwashed, like myself.

(I don't know how you do it.)

Thanks so much for this post. I had totally forgotten about how big they were to my friends and me in the early 90s. Looked them up on Spotify. They're there, with 143 monthly followers. Trashman Shoes is at the top of their songs. So good to hear them again.
