Asylum Street Spankers May 17, 2009

Founded fourteen years ago at a booze and hallucinogen-fueled party at the Dabbs Hotel along the river in Llano, Texas, the Asylum Street Spankers stand as one of America's most distinctive groups. Defiantly acoustic, fiercely independent and absurdly good, the Spankers have been led by founders Christina Marrs and Wammo from being a country-blues revival act playing happy hours in Austin, through nearly 40 musicians, endless touring and constant evolution to being an internationally reknowned underground institution. Fueled by an ethos born of their punk roots, Marrs and Wammo have built their lives around making unique music that surprises and entertains.

"...inspired, lunatic brilliance.!" - Richard Skanse, Rolling Stone

"Christina Marrs is on maternity leave, and while their diva is away, the guys in the band are getting raunchier and rowdier than ever before."
