Lured as I was to the Gypsy Lounge (East Sixth near Comal for the uninitiated) by the prospect of hearing Stefanie Fix swap songs with Noelle Hampton, I walked in the door only to find joy unimaginable — the lovely Havilah Rand in the stead of my great pony-tailed pal Dave Madden, along with Noelle’s “man” Andre Moran playing lead guitar for all three lovely ladies. This is Stef’s gig mercifully moved from jovita’s (good call, Mister Bane!), and in two weeks her special guest will be (drum roll!) Wendy Colonna.
The place was packed — on a Tuesday night — the atmosphere was thick with incense and the lush red curtains that encase the floor level stage. The music was surprisingly psychedelic at times, and I was back in the Sixties again. Best thing about this double set was that all three women are seemingly in awe of each other’s talents — and all were helping with the ooh’s and lala’s as appropriate. Love (as Jesse Colin Young so greatly desired) was all around. And, yes, they have Jameson and ginger!
I looked around and noted the presence of one Jimmie Dreams aka the booking agent Jimmie Graves, and it was to be his night after the ladies were done. Mind you, the Gypsy’s owner noted that his website will be up “soon,” and a quick check of his Facebook page was equally unrevealing, so for now the best way to find out who is playing is word of mouth. And the place is full – even in the back tented (and heated) smoking lounge. A few minutes later D-Madness walked in, and I knew I was not going ANYWHERE! You just have to know that this smiling, very charming visually impaired but musically gifted man [Brian Conway long ago told me D-Madness was the most amazing musician in all of Austin, and he just might still be right!) is going to rock your world — tonight he was playing (as he often does) his Tama drum kit and sampling on a keyboard, while using his voice as a musical percussion instrument in addition to singing and rapping and playing styles from jazz to funk to ure soul. I have also seen D (aka Dwayne Jackson) playing bass (notably, on a SXSW Sunday at Hickory Street with Corrina Rachel). Tonight was no exception — last time I saw D was at the Moody Theatre with Bavu Blakes at the fundraiser for Austin Music People (AMP) — tonight it was the interplay of drums, vocals, a little keyboard action, and alternating lead guitarists (one of whom was the illustrious Mister Dreams). All in all, the Gypsy is going to be HUGE in this town — next door to Hotel Vegas, around the corner from the White Horse.

I also stopped by the Mean-Eyed Cat to catch a little of Quenby and the West of Wayland Band and by Baker Street — Marc Palaoro on electric guitar and his poetic songs was a real highlight!
