Red 7

611 E. Seventh (map) (512) 476-8100

Located on East 7th Street in the Red River district, we here at Red 7 central put on rock/metal/hardcore/hip hop shows and avoid sub categorizing. You will never hear us use the term post or pre before any music genre. So when you email us about booking, please don’t advise that you’re post indie electro punk. Also, we do not and never will book “fusion”. Sorry, we have to draw the line somewhere.

We have a baller sound system, and sometimes our bathrooms fuck up (we try, what more can we say).

The venue itself is a 500 capacity space, which features a free lounge on the inside with pool tables, foose ball, a vintage arcade and a photo booth, and an outdoor venue side which is where “le rock” happens.

We have a dumb blog you can read by clicking on “blog” on the top of the window. We basically masturbate with words all over the internet.

We also do a lot of shows with our good friends at Transmission Entertainment, and you can check out their website Here

You can also sign up to be our “friend” on facebook HERE but being our facebook friend doesn’t mean we’ll hook you up, so get over yourself.

We have a twitter too, but whatever, twitter’s kinda lame. I guess we have a myspace, but since nobody uses myspace anymore except bands and rapists, we stopped updating it a while ago.

      You'll definitely sweat, you'll probably get drunk and you might even bleed. The shows booked at Red 7 run the gamut, but they all have one thing in common: They're rowdier than they are loud. And they're really, really loud. more at CultureMap Austin

      AT RED 7 on Friday Feb 22. Sort of an old punk reunion of sorts, all three bands The Hickoids, Sharon Tates Baby, and Rogers Porn Collection hail with members from the old school punk scene in Texas. The Hickoids. Alternately categorized as "cow punk" and "hard corn," the Hickoids embodied a most extreme synthesis of punk and country during their mid-Eighties Austin reign. The quintet's beer-splashing, bale-thrashing, genital-brandishing performances bore all the confrontational hallmarks of punk, yet they actually won Best Country Band at the 1985 Austin Music Awards. Sharon Tate’s Baby. An original punk band staple, Sharon Tate’s Baby, brings on a barrage of punk, pop, and rock music. They were originally formed in the late 70’s in Austin Texas and found famed at the infamous Raul’s Club, the first punk club in Austin. Along with two original members and now including members from Lester Bangs and the Delinquents, STB is in fine form and unleashing there best effort yet. Rogers Porn Collection. featuring.... Pat Roach from L A 's Dimwits (members of the Dickies and Angry Samoans) Rob Buford from such early 80's Austin punk bands, Crotch Rot and Rogers Diaper Collection ---- Wes Texas from The Bulemics and mid 90's H-Town punk honeys, Stinkerbell------------ Roger (EL BO) - man of mystery??? ------- Pat Doyle from the Offenders and Felix Griffin from DRI (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) -- Thats the short version of who we are ---old school punk done by old school punks.

      The Hickoids invented COW PUNK. Here's some info from Trouser Press. Cure the Butthole Surfers' hallucinatory madness but not their Texas junk-culture mentality or careening noise. Add country-western rhythms and some revved-up guitar licks, and that pretty much describes Austin's zealous Hickoids, America's only hard-corn (white thrash?) band. Whether they're adding lyrics to a familiar TV theme ("Williamanza") or delivering a cruel ode to one-armed farmers ("O.A.F. Anthem"), the band's colorful guitar work, four-on-the-floor punk overdrive and depraved sense of humor ("Animal Husbandry" mates man and cow) make We're in It for the Corn a raucous and funny souvenir of the Lone Star state. (The cassette adds four bonus cuts.) Following the 7-inch Hard Corn EP (two originals and two freewheeling covers: "Corn Foo Fighting" and the Eagles' "Take It Easy"), the Hickoids ease up on the punk for more of a Tex-Mex/country flavor on the relatively slick second album, Waltz a Crossdress Texas. Using steel guitar, piano, trumpet and (yes!) flugelhorn, well-played jokes about transvestites, beer, sex and trucks are loaded with local color and the Hickoids' winningly sociopathic outlook.
