Orosco's Taco Truck on Jacksboro

I had just finished an awesome ride with Fort Worth critical mass and after having a couple pints at the T&P bar, I was ready to head out for some alcohol soaking grub. As I was planning to head over to the Taco Bell, I realized I was not that far from that Taco truck on 2160 Jacksboro Hwy, Fort Worth, TX at the Valero gas station.I call it Orosco's because it has this unfinished word on the front that was close enough and the Truck didn't really have a name. I ordered 2 tripas and 1 barbacoa taco and they were served on a paper plate and wrapped up in celophane. These gems were absolutely delicious. The bonus was that green hot sauce in a cup that they packaged along with the Taco plate. This was also served with plenty of onions and cilantro. OMG! Especially at 5 bucks! You cannot beat that for you get on your plate. This place has the BEST tacos I've tasted so far. I mean, I don't know when I have felt this happy about a taco stand.

Show @ The Nightmare ~ Dallas Texas

RAYON BEACH ~ LIVE @ The NIGHTMARE

The Nightmare is a new bar on Elm Street in Deep Ellum that offers a different atmosphere than most bars in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Rayon Beach, a dapper trio out of Austin Texas starts the show with a powerful Psychedelic set of unmasked proportions. I was really blown away by these dudes. They went through their catalog with ease starting it out with "Oh Yeah" as well as a couple I did not recognize toward the end. The power was raw and uninhibited and it was a shame that it was only in front of a small crowd. The good people at Parade of Flesh finally start putting out good shows and it seems that not many are paying attention. Well, it could also be that it was a Tuesday night. But hell no, if I can drive all the fucking way from the West Side of Fort Worth to come over and support the music scene, then there is absolutely NO EXCUSE! Great show by these openers. Not to dampen the party here, but to throw an absolute surprise in the three ring circus of hella great sound, The Royal Baths take the stage and open it up with a tooth shattering slow and building outright jam "Needle and Thread" that rattled the hair follicles on my skull. The Royal Baths from San Francisco California come into town and shake things up in Texas with a fantastic set and it was a nice surprise to experience them for the first time. The Fresh & Onlys, also from San Francisco, close this one out with most of their popular tunes and rock that stage with every song they perform. A fusion of heat and sweat are present among their stage presence. By that time I was already getting concerned about my alcoholic intake and decided to call it a night and sadly I ducked out during their last song to close out my tab. It was a great show and I look forward to more shows at the Nightmare.

CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE OF NYC - BICYCLES VS AUTOMOBILES

RAYON BEACH ~ DEATH RIDES A HORSE

RAYON BEACH out of Austin Texas is an interesting band that when first listened to brings back old memories of that night you fell off the hood of your 1972 El Camino in a drunken stooper and spilled your beer onto your leather bomber jacket. Wow what a waste of a night that was sitting on the hood of your car with you next door neighbor girl friend who hadn't yet given it up and yet tonight was the night you would jump on the chance. Yet she was no fool to your advances and she kicked you in the nads. That's what you get from the 3Tet from the city of WEIRD. That unforgiving shot to the nads as if YOU had all along been saying, YEAH I've heard these guys before, when do we change the record?...then SMASHO!!! A FOOT INTO YOUR NADS!! I am anticipating their show @ Nightmare on Tuesday October 26th. It's gonna be messy for sure.
