ALT! The Party – Austin

5 months ago

Well, the saying goes "all good things..." y'all, and on behalf of Tim (thunderpants), Pat (coleslaw), & Aaron (knucklebones), I simply want to say thank you. Thank you for 10 great years, full of experiences and heights we never saw coming when I approached Tim in the musiclab about this harebrained idea for a band - with the sole idea that we were just doing it all for fun. Still can't believe the ride we got to go on with BS. With that I say again, thank you. All love y'all - ✌️ Brink. Heck Yeah, Dang Right #AustinNightlife #ATXShows #atx #texasmusicscene #livemusicaustin

Ten years ago today, a bunch of “aging-out” Austin musicians walked onto the stage at the Sahara Lounge in a band we started "just for fun to sing about bad relationships and drinking"… and accidentally built the most successful band we’ve ever had. Since that first Big State show: 🚀 Airplay in 37+ countries 📻 AMA Top 100 🔥 Weeks in the Roots Rock & Texas Music Top 10 🎧 Hundreds of thousands of streams …and a decade of louder-than-life memories we never saw coming. So we’re bringing it full circle. Big State 10th Anniversary Show 📍 Sahara Lounge, Austin 📅 Friday, January 16, 2026 🎟️ It’s going to feel like 2015 and 2026 at the same time. If you’ve been part of this ride - from the early gigs to the charts - we’d love to see you back where it all started. Let’s make the next decade even wilder. 🤘 Heck Yeah, Dang Right! #BigState #LiveMusicAustin #AustinBands #SaharaLounge #ATXMusic #TexasMusicScene #RootsRock #AmericanaMusic #ATXEvents #SupportLocalMusic #AustinNightlife #LiveMusicCapital #BandAnniversary #ATXShows #RadioAirplay #NewMusicSoon #TexasBands #AustinEvents #IndieMusic #ATX
