Storyville, Pro-Pain, & A Broken Nose

November 1994 at The Roxy had a little bit of everything.First up was Pro-Pain, M.O.D., and Spud Monsters on November 5th.Great bands, but not a great turnout.That was one of those nights where the lineup was heavy, the names were solid, but the room just didn’t fill the way it needed to. Looking back, it felt like one of those early warning signs for The Roxy. You hit a dud, and in the club business, a dud can tell you a lot.Then five days later, November 10th, The Roxy had Storyville with Otis Watkins.Completely different world.Storyville was not just another band. That was an Austin supergroup.Malford Milligan was one of the great voices out of the Austin scene. David Grissom had played with John Mellencamp. David Holt had ties to Carlene Carter and The Mavericks. Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon were part of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s legendary backing band, and they were also tied into The Archangels with Doyle Bramhall and Charlie Sexton.That is a serious room full of musicians.Americana music at its finest.But the backstage story took a turn.This was the night the tour manager got his nose broken by George.George was a different animal back then, and at The Roxy, anything could happen. One night you had heavy bands playing to a thin crowd. A few nights later you had Austin royalty in the building and a broken nose backstage.That was The Roxy.Great music. Wild personalities. No boring nights. #HeresTheDealPodcast #Storyville #ProPain #MOD #SpudMonsters #TheRoxy #AustinMusic #StevieRayVaughan #MaxBakerJr #JeffBrownen #oklahomacity Like, share, and follow so these stories keep getting told.Follow & Connect: Max Baker Jr. Instagram @bmaddmaxx | Facebook @bmaddmaxx  Jeff Brownen Facebook @jeff.brownenHere’s The Deal YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@heresthedealokHere’s The Deal Podcast Website https://heresthedealok.comBuy Here’s The Deal Vintage & Collectables https://heresthedealvintagecollectables.comGet an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Card https://medcardsmadeeasy.netConcert & Event Production Services https://bakerboyspro.comBuy Roadie CBD Balm & Oil https://bakersremedycbd.com
