| Description: | Select Guide Rating Arriving in 1978, hitched to the back of the Sex Pistols'' tour bus, Texas punk rock soon became as mythic as the state''s devotion to football, cattle and prayer. Confrontational renegades like the Huns, the Big Boys, and the Dicks led a defiant new era of blood, sweat and cross-dressing cowboys. Austin son Pat Blashill grabbed a camera and uncovered a story of creative deliverance, set in trailer parks, low-rent shared living and wild, Texas bucket-of-beer bars. Joining over 300 deep black and white photos by Blashill are essays by director Richard Linklater (Slacker / Boyhood), singer David Yow (Scratch Acid / Jesus Lizard), drummer Teresa Taylor (Butthole Surfers) and local luminaries Adriane ''Ash'' Shown and Donna Rich. True mavericks banded together to make a stand and... Texas is the Reason. |
