Back in the late 80's and early 90's I used to go down to Deep Ellum, a cool alternative area of town in downtown Dallas, Texas to hear lots of great bands. At the time there were lots of great music venues like Club Dada and Club Clearview, just to name a few. One night I got the chance to see The Judybats, a band from Knoxville, Tennessee, at Clearview. They were great! The band was made up of six nerdy, yet hip musicians. Interesting note, the song She Lives (In a Time of Her Own) is a song written by Roky Erickson of the Austin, Texas based 1960's psychedelic rock band The 13th Floor Elevators. If you like early 90's alternative music, you're sure to like The Judybats. Plus, I love their name.

The Band:
Jeff Heiskell - Lead Vocals
Ed Winters - Electric Guitars
Terry Casper - Drums
Peggy Hambright - Keyboards, Violin & Vocals
Timothy Stutz - Electric Bass & Vocals
Johnny Sughrue - Acoustic Guitar & Vocals

Favorite Songs: Don't Drop the Baby, Convalescing in Spain, and Native Son
