Music: Asylum Street Spankers

Austin's own "pop jug band," the Asylum Street Spankers, has hits like "Hick Hop," "Asylum Street Blues," and "That Persistent Itching" and lyrics that are not quite right for public radio. (Guadalupe Street used to be known as Asylum Street because it led to the state hospital, and Spankers refers to -- never mind...) Let's just say their musical style is broadly versatile (including the musical saw) and their appeal is international. Check 'em out! They're playing tonight at The Mucky Duck.
