Walking up to the still-under-construction Radio/East last week, I’m greeted by Grace Rowland of Austin band the Deer touching up a wood-burned sign reading “All Are Welcome.” It features tiny cartoons of townie celebs including many musicians, from Britt Daniel to Magna Carda. She’s also drawn in regulars from Radio Coffee & Beer’s original Menchaca Road spot, to greet them at the new location.
They plan for four nights of local and touring acts a week. A locally sourced fall calendar kicks off Thursday with Sunrosa, Guma, and Feeling Small on the covered, wooden, 16-by-20-foot outdoor stage. Currently setting a capacity of 600 to 700 fans, tickets are on sale for upcoming performances by Nuclear Daisies, Caroline Rose, and Money Chicha, as well as A Giant Dog Halloween show and a DAWA benefit featuring Latasha Lee.
“It’s always been a fantasy to be a part of a club. It’s the only thing I haven’t done. I manage, I book the Deer into clubs, I’ve just never been on the other side of it.”Taylor Hull, music promotions vet previously of the Red River Cultural District and Mohawk, also joins the Radio team as marketing manager. She’s especially excited about the coffee bar’s non-alcoholic offerings during shows.
