The Footnotes perform at Shoeshine Charley's Big Top

“A lot of great bands have come from the musical melting pots of Austin and Houston, Texas. Some of them have made great grungy garage rock and roll from the heart, but few have done so as long and faithfully as the mighty Footnotes, a band that calls both of those cities home. You can hear the spirit of Texas rockers from Buddy Holly to True Believers, from the Bobby Fuller Four to the Skunks in the music of the Footnotes, but what you'll mostly hear is the Footnotes, a real rock and roll band with an independent spirit and an undying devotion to its raw and raucous craft.” -Rush Evans, KOOP FM, author
