Very good band. I am going to see them in October with We Are Scientists
They are one of the best American rock and roll bands going! They have opened for U2, Pearl Jam, and Bob Dylan. Check them out on youtube or myspace music if you want. I am sure you just might enjoy the heck out them. Peace!

When is San Antonio going to grow up and get a radio station that plays music like this, (besides during the occasional time allotment on KSYM)? man, KZEP plays the music I heard forty years ago when it was fresh and then only the same shallow cuts, KISS plays the same corporate rock and nu metal to teeny boppers, 97.7 just mimics kiss's playlist. At least a couple of low signal stations from New Braunfels, Castroville, and Kerrville play some decent music on occasion and show some ability to play different music from outside the box.
Mogwai has been playing for over twelve years and when I mentioned them I got no response from anyone here. Same with Russian Circles.
There is so much music we don't hear over the airwaves like: Cat Power. Keane. Pelican. Band Of Horses. Erykah Badu. Bell Orchestre. The Mercury Program. Tokyo Police Club. Vampire Weekend. Chromeo. The Crystal Method. Weezer. Jets Overhead. Super Furry Animals. Cire. Iron And Wine. Iota. Feist. Jack Conte. Tesa. Red Sparowes. CSS. UNKLE. Tribes of Neurot. Le Silo. Nightmares on Wax. The American Dollar. Black Rebel MotorcycleClub. Mugstar. My Education. The Mars Volta. Benoit Pioulard. The Ting Tings. Alabama Thunderpussy. The Evpatoria Report. Torche. Rodrigo y Gabriella. Jack Johnson. Soulwax. Maserati. The Melvins. Black Moth Super Rainbow. The Parlor Mob. Dead Confederate. Laura. Cornelius. Mooncake. Black Mountain. The Black Keys. The list is endless... , the only cut that is played from Radiohead in town is Creep, and that was from 1992.
I remember when I was kid, KISS actually sought out new music and innovative artists. There really wasn't many stations out there like it. The majority of this market has rested on that legacy forever now.

I realize there will be those out there that don't like anything from the group listed above, and that the radio market is driven by money catering to the base, but San Antonio is way too big a market to be out the loop like this.

I've only heard a handful of artists on your list and I only discovered their music mostly by word of mouth. I agree, SA plays the same old mainstream music over and over again. When I was making weekly trips between seguin and SA I could at least get a signal for some Austin radio stations. Bottom line = SA radio stations SUCK, I'd rather listen to my iPod.

Click on listen... Australian radio station - plays pretty much all of that music you listed (with an emphasis on Australian music)
yeah, it pisses me off how KISS lays claim to "being the first to give AC/DC run time" and now they just play the same over and over. Lisle and Haghn need to STFU or say something about it instead of laying claim to past glories.
Sirius is the only place to get that stuff.
I've tried to get into Kings of Leon several times, and even saw them live when they opened for U2, but I can't seem to do it. I like a song here and there, but I can't get past the vocals. They do nothing for me.
I've got "Sex on Fire" in my rotation, though. Great song.
Whoever mentioned TV on the Radio: I can't wait for their new album. Return to Cookie Mountain was excellent.
I bought my KOL tickets on presale the wednesday before friday that they went on sale to the general public. Me and my brother are taking the Amtrak to Austin saturday morning, coming back to San Antonio sunday night. We are going to have a blast! KOL are a kick ass rock band!
i agree... thats usually where i hear the latest stuff.... Alt Nation is pretty good...
As for KOL...Caleb has a really interesting voice..

They Played a Black Rebel motorcycle club song last night on True Blood!!! It was awesome even though it was a song from their first cd.
DID you say Weezer with all those bands. Man in Austin they play the out of Weezer.
You have a good taste in Music Bones. Ive seen 75% of those bands you have listed live.
Anyone here like the Stereophonics? I have been listening to them along with the Black Keys a load.
Never heard of them.
Im going to see TV on the Radio at Stubb's!! I can't wait, it will make up for the last show I saw there which was a big disappointment.
Well if your interested listen to their song called "Devil" which is on the CD Language, Sex, Violence, other.... which is my fav cd of theirs.
I listened.
Nope, not my cup of tea.
what is?
she's probably stuck in the '80's
s.a. has been that way forever....first and LAST to give AC/DC some spins........as for austin....101x is going down the same path as KISS (although not neatly as bad)......college radio and good ol live music is your best bet
I think all the radio stations are going downhill cuz they're all owned by one or two conglomerates.
Yeah radio stations suck.
agreed.
austin radio has sucked since 98 or so. however, jamaican gold on sundays at 1 on 91.7 is the stuff. i just listen to 1300, and iPod when i want music.
Has anyone listened to the new Kings of Leon cd? Im going to check it out today. Sex on Fire has really grown on me.
