In September of 2024 Uncle Lucius released Live from Ear Studio. Recorded live to tape at Ear Studio in Austin, TX the record features select singles from their latest LP Like It’s The Last One Left plus three covers: “Bertha” by the Grateful Dead; “Shadow People”, a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers staple and “Just To Satisfy You” made popular by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson. Uncle Lucius has long been known for their unique blend of roots rock & roll and country soul. Since adding heavyweights Doug Strahan (guitar) and Drew Scherger (bass) to the fold, the band has expanded its palette, exploring new musical landscapes and reveling in the power that comes from following sonic avenues, without prejudice, wherever they lead. The results onstage speak for themselves. During the years following the band’s farewell tour in 2018, their audience continued to organically grow, highlighted by the placement of their song “Keep the Wolves Away” in an episode of Yellowstone and its subsequent RIAA gold and platinum certifications. After a few years on hiatus – with a fresh outlook and a deep well of new ideas – the band members began to shake off their collective rust and blueprint songs that mirrored their career and current status, hitting on themes of resolve and resilience. The band released their first album in 8 years Like It’s The Last One Left last December via Thirty Tigers / Boo Clap Records. Since their comeback the band has toured consistently around the world and recently the 2nd single from Like It’s The Last One Left, “All The Angelenos”, hit #5 on the Texas Radio Charts. The Point. The Point. is a genre-blending musical trio from Austin, TX that infuses many different cultures’ folk musics with eclectic influences ranging from Ethiopian Jazz, Saharan guitar music, Dub, Psych, Jam, Thai Morlam, and the avant-garde. Formed in 2017 by then class mates Jack Montesinos and Joe Roddy, bonding over B3 greats like Jimmy Smith and guitar giants like Freddie King and Link Wray, the duo started out making beats for local rappers and instrumental tracks for easy listening. In 2022 they added drummer Nico Léophonte to join the creative journey. Nico Léophonte came to America in 1997 from Toulouse, France. While working as a taxi driver, he began playing drums with The Fabulous Thunderbirds and other blues and roots acts. He joined up with the boys at C’Boys Heart and Soul and began to record the band at his studio, Alnico Studio. This small but mighty sonic ensemble symbolizes the vibrant and experimental voyage of psychedelic beat music from abroad with a western “jam” approach. They released Berto's Banquet (EP) in 2022 and released their debut Full Length album Maldito Animal in May of 2024.
