On Wednesday, March 25, 2020, 10:10am – all area schools having shut down suddenly March 13 due to the spread of the coronavirus – I emailed an Austin Music Awards multiple Band(leader) of the Year winner and media progressive: Hey man, how are you? I wanted to start checking in with some musicians – get a window into individual situations through short Q&A s. Mind if I send you a few questions?

Alongside Austin s Dicks and Big Boys, Houston s Really Red proved as integral to early-Eighties American punk
culture as Black Flag or Dead Kennedys. Lasting 1978-85, the aggregation of singer/frontman Ronnie U-Ron Bondage Bond, drummer Bob Weber, guitarist Kelly Younger, and bassist John Paul Williams rarely followed regulation punk templates. Old enough to recall Texas psychedelia on ramalama like Crowd Control, their trace elements of art-damaged funk and blues seeped into – from 1981 onward – the band s ballistic thrashing à la Bad Brains on tracks such as I Was
a Teenage Fuckup.
Meanwhile, Bond s lyrics engage race, sexuality, police brutality, and resistance to authoritarianism.
