It's about a month old... guess that gave Darwin enough time to change his name from Darden.
Welcome To the Doomtown
David Baerwald, formerly of David & David, has undoubtedly witnessed the recent crumbling of the Austin music scene, but don't expect him to be bummed about his decision to move here last January (into our publisher Nick Barbaro's old house). Ask him what he thinks of the city and he merely mutters a minor epithet about the heat. The Texas summer shouldn't be too much worry for Baerwald, however, as he's spending the majority of his time on the road in support of Abra Moore with his all-Austin band, Will Sexton, Bukka Allen, Darden Smith, and JJ Johnson. He's been buds with Sexton for a long time, and in fact credits young Will with his decision to move here; Smith is the only one of the bunch he wasn't familiar with beforehand. From mid-tour in Virginia, he reports that he's already come to love Smith as much as the others -- and that Darden needs the support, as he's just gone and broken his foot! Limping or no, Baerwald says they'll all be back in town for an early July gig, and then it's off to New York for a reading of his new, yet-unpublished book, An Outrageous Pack of Lies, with the aid of pals Sean Penn and Phil Rudd, who'll be at the reading. Baerwald says he hopes the tome won't remain unpublished much longer, but in the meantime, his upcoming release for hot O Brother Where Art Thou? label Lost Highway on July 16 should keep him riding the roads from city to city, looking for his next boom town.
