About the Event
Join us for a two-night celebration of the opening of the legendary Axiom nightclub (1987-1992) in Houston, Texas. Come out and enjoy an amazing line-up of bands who played the original club, most reuniting for this weekend only. Musicians will be flying in from Washington, Colorado, Nevada, New York, Illinois, North Carolina, Florida, and even Brazil to take part. So come enjoy music on two stages, air conditioned luxury, memories, mayhem, and more. Whether you played at the Axiom, hung out at the Axiom, or just want to join the party, we’d love to see you there. – J.R. Delgado and the Axiom staff

August 2, 2007 at 4:31 pm |
I can’t fuckin wait! Great Line-up! Yet I wonder about the more hardcore punk bands the likes of Barkhard, Dresden 45? Not that I’m complaining….
August 2, 2007 at 5:52 pm |
i´ll try to come. hello to all “old” friends,jerry ps, ya´ll be sure to check out my new project neo cons gone wild. there are 3 sceans on you tube.
August 2, 2007 at 7:08 pm |
Too bad FIFH and Dresden 45 couldn’t get back together and be there (and too bad the Pain Teens couldn’t make it), but this is still a damn exciting event! I can’t wait!!
August 2, 2007 at 8:52 pm |
Air conditioned luxury? that doesn’t ring a bell…..
August 3, 2007 at 3:56 pm |
Dear Axiom friends
Uncle Charlie here. Ass of today Dresden 45 is not booked to play this amazing gig. Brumby, the singer lives in LA and flat out refused. Patrick, the guitar wizard lives in Austin and refuses to play the show without Brumby. I suggested we do the show as a three piece with me on vocals but Pat has some kind of loyalty to Brumby. If this show wes at Radio City Music Hall I think I would understand Pats position. BUT ITS NOT. Its old friends getting together one more time before George Bush blows us all to kingdom come.
So I need your help.
If I could get many of you to email Patrick Godbey and tell him that we all want to experience the love that he is capable of sharing. Hopefully we can change his mind and the mighty Dresden 45 can take one last ride.
Here’s the email
patrickgodbey@gmail.com
Thank you
Uncle Charlie
August 3, 2007 at 5:29 pm |
Can’t Wait looking forward to it and hanging with friends lots of great memories some fuzzy.
August 3, 2007 at 5:43 pm |

August 3, 2007 at 6:18 pm |
Bad-Ass!!!! I will be there for sure. It will be nice to just be able to watch the bands and not have to play. Me gonna get drunk!
August 6, 2007 at 4:06 pm |
Hi Jr. and Julie,
Please put me on your mailing list. I hope to fly down from NY to attend this event. Looking forward to it!

If I show up and I am the only one that got old I am gonna be so fucking pissed. Cinco Dudes? Toho Ehio. Fleshmops? Bad Samaritans, wasnt that one of Joe Homesly’s bands? So much of that time is a tad fuzzy for me.
You Rock JR!
August 7, 2007 at 11:14 pm |
I wouldn’t miss it for the world! Jay Maulsby, do you wanna car pool? Or maybe we could ride bikes down there.
August 8, 2007 at 3:14 am |
lets rock till our teeth fall out
August 8, 2007 at 6:49 pm |
I can’t wait. I’m already planning on coming back from SF, CA to see it. You know the one band I would love to see on here? (not that I won’t love to see all of the listed bands) Bouffant Jellyfish.
Can’t wait for Sprawl, Academy Black, Joint Cheifs, Fleshmop, etc.
August 8, 2007 at 8:04 pm |
Ok this should be a blast .. but I’m a little afraid. Can’t wait to see everyone!
August 10, 2007 at 6:18 pm |
TREAD, No Solution, End Result.
August 11, 2007 at 2:16 am |

August 11, 2007 at 4:24 pm |
This sounds like it just might be something I crawl out from under my rock for… thanks everyone for the future fun!
August 15, 2007 at 5:07 pm |
where the fuck is SUGAR SHACK
???????? ???????? ????????? ????????
August 16, 2007 at 4:26 pm |
Yeah………..no real reunion would be complete without the Original Sugar Shack or The Pain Teens!!!!
August 16, 2007 at 9:29 pm |
I THOUGHT THE CAVE REVEREND WAS GONE FOREVER. I JUST WENT TO HIS WEBSITE AND WAS BLOWN AWAY. THE SONGS AND POETRY ARE WORTH CHECKING OUT.

Great line-up. Don’t know much about what anyone else has been doing lately, but have had a chance to check out the Cave Reverend web site and the new tunes by those crazy fuckers. Extremely cool. I’m going to drag as many of my friends that are still alive to the show. It’s going to bring back a lot of good mammaries.
August 18, 2007 at 3:42 pm |
This might mean a trip to Texas from Boston is in order. How can I NOT come down for this? Put me on the mailing list for updates: liz AT littlemophead DOT com
Would love to catch up with everyone!
– Liz Polay
August 20, 2007 at 2:42 pm |
LIZ!!!

August 20, 2007 at 5:32 pm |
Looking forward to seeing whoever is left of us all!
August 20, 2007 at 8:39 pm |
Wow! This time I won’t be drunk like at J.R.’s 50th birthday so will probably enjoy it more!
August 20, 2007 at 10:41 pm |
Can’t wait!
August 20, 2007 at 10:55 pm |
I can’t wait! It’s gonna be an awesome show! But what about SUGAR SHACK WITH JR!!!!?????? SUGAR SHACK SUGAR SHACK SUGAR SHACK SUGAR SHACK!!!!!

August 21, 2007 at 10:52 pm |
Dave Yammer….are you gonna bring that sexy ass to the show??? I’ve been dreaming about it since the 80’s!!! come on…let me see it just once more!!
August 22, 2007 at 6:22 am |
Oh how we spent our youth! I gotta see this. I’m looking forward to seeing Academy Black, Sprawl, de Schmog, Sad Pygmy, Joint Chiefs and all the others too. Come on Sugar Shack and Dresden 45!!
I’d rather the show have been at the Axiom itself, or Rudz, but Fitz is okay.
Is it me or was the music then more creative than today. Or is that just what every generation thinks? Anyways, glad hear the bands are still kicking ya’ll entertained and inspired me through my high school/college days.
August 22, 2007 at 5:06 pm |
I’m going to have to extend the backend of my September trip to include this little shindig! Thank the gods that it’s in October and NOT July. My sorry ass is spoiled by the SF area weather nirvana.
August 23, 2007 at 12:22 am |
Leesa: My hair is much shorter these days.. but you can pull it anytime! xoxoxoxox
August 23, 2007 at 2:50 pm |
Hi guys,
J.R. and the rest of us are very excited that so many of y’all are coming to the reunion, and we’re enjoying reading your comments.
Regarding the venue… We are not going to be at the Axiom because Infernal Bridegroom Productions, the theatre company that occupied the building, went out of business unexpectedly. When choosing an alternate venue, we liked Fitzgerald’s because it can hold lots more people than the Axiom or Rudz, and has stages upstairs and downstairs so we can bring you twice as many bands. We are going to take over the entire building!
Regarding the bands… we wish Sugar Shack, Pain Teens, and Dresden 45 could play, too, but they’ve chosen not to. We’re really excited about all the bands that are going to play, and we’ll be annoucing more details about the line-up in the coming weeks.
See you in October!
Julie
August 23, 2007 at 11:02 pm |
Okay, Yammer – Lyman and Fagan are here in Austin (and Dow is close by) – where the hell is Greg Putman (Putzichrist), not to mention Kelton?
All I need is four beers, and the “road crew” is ready!
August 24, 2007 at 2:12 am |
Hey Copas, Greg Putman is RIGHT HERE in Las Vegas. Talked to Yammer today and he was really excited. I’ll be there at the show, even if we don’t play. I hope we do though. Can’t wait to see everyone!
August 24, 2007 at 4:43 am |
Wow, the Anarchitex? That’s my step-dad’s old band. Hmmm, maybe I could make it back for the show. And all the other’s too of course. How totally nostalgic. pureetomatoes@yahoo.com
August 24, 2007 at 4:46 am |
I’m in LA. Does anybody live here? Let’s go hang out by the train tracks and pretend we’re back in the old days at the Axiom.
August 24, 2007 at 5:09 pm |
Putman and Yammer: you can email me at jeffcopas@gmail.com
August 28, 2007 at 8:35 pm |
Well Chuck Roast Dropped me a line. I will be down for the show from Denver ! Ahh the memories..kind of a blur at times… Is it soup yet? Oh Yeah almost forgot- I got a job but it aint much….. J R We never did swap seats at the Stones or did we? FAR OUT!
August 30, 2007 at 3:51 pm |
Let the weirdness resume!
Yammer, do you know if Steve is gonna make it in from CA?
I’m still up 1960 way, but if any of the Pigs or AB folks need a place to crash, we’ve got space. Just LMK.

August 30, 2007 at 6:27 pm |
What time do the shows start? Is it an afternoon/evening thing on saturday?
August 30, 2007 at 7:24 pm |
Hey, Dave! Both shows are at night. Doors and cheap beer at 8:00, psychedelic sounds of the Cave Reverend at 8:30.

I cannot wait. This is gonna be awesome
September 3, 2007 at 10:50 pm |
JR and Julie and everybody else,
Thanks for setting this up. It’s gonna be a blast. We rounded up all of the original Bayou Pigs and we’re – believe it or not – all still alive and doing well. Too bad no Dead Horse, Sugar Shack, Pain Teens, etc. but it is amazing how many of the bands ARE playing. A testament to the significance of the Axiom on our lives. Cheers.
Mark Fagan
September 4, 2007 at 11:47 am |
I assume there will be many videographers and a quality audio rip of all the bands’ sets for the DVD. Am I right?

September 4, 2007 at 10:33 pm |
Thanks J.R., Julie, and all involved! Looking forward and glad to take part.
September 6, 2007 at 5:34 am |

September 7, 2007 at 4:30 pm |
Can’t wait to see everyone. Will the draft beer be free if we use the same cup? Who remembers that?
September 8, 2007 at 12:05 am |
ahahahahahaha…ya, that was our Save the Earth plan… but it wasn’t free it was discounted
mark k
September 8, 2007 at 1:13 am |
WOW – I can’t wait. Anyone know where Catfish is? Anne and I will be there for sure. Maybe even Jon and Debbie. We used to hang out at the Axion all the time “back then”. We used to run lights when the light man was too messed up to do so… Man, partying at the Axiom was it! Remember when it rained? It would come from the ceiling… lol So many memories….
Liz Eysink, formerly Hippler aka Cherry
September 8, 2007 at 9:40 pm |
those were the days my friends!!!!!!!
September 9, 2007 at 5:00 am |
If we are talking about the same catfish, rumor has it he is doing sound for Academy Black & Haaga…
September 9, 2007 at 4:56 pm |
This should be interesting…will…. try…. to be there. Do you think the local church will be handing out hot chocolate like they did outside the Axiom? Me oh my.
September 10, 2007 at 12:59 am |
I will not be reinacting the night I tried to wrestle the front grill of a car at GBH. Ame and Claytor will be with us in spirit.
September 11, 2007 at 3:06 am |
SOOOO Bummed I cant make it!!! Already had tix to Hawaii!! Hope you all have a great time!!! Maybe if Dead Horse were there I would cancel Hawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 12, 2007 at 3:21 pm |
rad
September 13, 2007 at 2:41 am |
Where you at Dave? Our one chance for a Lunacy reunion! Shazbot! I’m gonna try and make it and hope to see some old crazies.
September 13, 2007 at 3:24 pm |
Michael Haaga IS going to be playing dead horse songs with Academy Black. Maybe you can still unload those tickets to Hawaii, Amy!
September 13, 2007 at 8:27 pm |
if that ain’t good enough, may a small shark bite your big toe!
just kidding!!!
your little toe maybe!
okay, how bout a nasty sunburn!
September 13, 2007 at 10:45 pm |
Are the BAYOU PIGS really going to play?? I heard from Lyman that it wasn’t going to happen….it’s just not the pigs w/out Puttman and Lyman…BTW..I miss and luv ya Puttman…how’s Vegas treating you??
September 13, 2007 at 10:49 pm |
BTW…Liz..my hair is really F’n long…down to my waist…you can pull it anytime. I may be in New york sometime around Thanksgiving if you are still there….we need to hook up and hang out!!
September 13, 2007 at 10:56 pm |
Dan…you are not alone when you say that you would love to see BOUFFANT JELLYFISH play….that would be great!! ALSO…KELLY WATSON..I found the GOODFOOT/PANJANDRUM flyer from the showbar that you have wanted all these years….we’ll talk about a barder when I see you. Call me 832-245-2172.
September 19, 2007 at 8:37 pm |
JR–you bastard! Should have gotten with me a long time ago on this… because you are missing all the death metal/punk/grindcore that kept this going. May not be too late…
So you want to bring a bunch down to KPFT and get silly promoting this, I am being told.
OK, and that ain’t all I’ll do…evil thoughts are creeping in already.
Bring the brutality! 713-819-5303 is me on the fly.
September 19, 2007 at 8:51 pm |
METAL: Lunacy, Criminally Insane, Alyis, Dark Reign, Krullur, Splattereah,
Imprecation, Basilisk, Crucifixion, Primeval…tons of heavy bands…
and Sik Mentality, Bleach Bath, Truth Decay, Culturcide?
Some of these guys can still play…
Shouldn’t Three Day Stubble be required to set up in the lobby?
September 19, 2007 at 10:46 pm |
I know Mike will be there, but what about Alpo, Ronnie and Greg??? Will miss you all!!! Alpotatonailgrinder where are you???
September 20, 2007 at 1:26 am |
Hi Bill, we did invite some of the bands you mention, who weren’t able to play the reunion for various reasons. Sorry we’re a little light on brutality!
-Julie
September 20, 2007 at 3:01 pm |
Brutality Lobby…..Next
September 20, 2007 at 5:44 pm |
Any chance you could get Cement Pond to play??? They were awesome!!
September 20, 2007 at 11:39 pm |
I’ve got to make this one.
September 21, 2007 at 2:12 pm |
Yea! I saw Noska last night. Looks like he’s coming too!
September 21, 2007 at 2:17 pm |
I’m pretty sure Greg, Ronnie & Zombie Ray will show up. I don’t know if anyone is even in touch with Alpo anymore. It would be nice to see them all there though.
September 21, 2007 at 9:33 pm |
yeah…..its a shame we can’t make it…..me and sean were just in houston with our band the quarrellers to play at damons benefit/ rad rich’s birthday bash…maybe next year.
September 22, 2007 at 12:32 am |
Going to be one hell of show, Looking foreward to seeing alot of familiar faces.
Dave
September 23, 2007 at 1:05 am |
Wow! What a deal. I shall try to swing by. Hi to all the old friends and faces from the True Artist.
September 23, 2007 at 7:15 am |
Does anyone know where Donald Mize is?
Can we bring out kids?
September 25, 2007 at 4:41 pm |
I love the ‘air conditioned comfort’ reference. How many fucking air conditioning benefits were there?
September 25, 2007 at 4:46 pm |
Greg Horse better be there!
September 25, 2007 at 4:47 pm |
I will definitely pump this reunion show on Rad Rich’s Rock n Roll Revue on KPFT.
September 26, 2007 at 3:20 am |
Thanks for promoting the show, Heather! And what is this myserious “air conditioning benefit” you speak of?
September 26, 2007 at 3:20 am |
ALL AGES! BRING THE KIDS!
September 27, 2007 at 3:05 pm |
Great idea! Long overdue. Might need to get some of the bands together more often.
Especially looking forward to seeing Joint Chiefs and Fleshmop again. Will be great to see Sprawl, DeSchmogg, and the others.
A much-needed dose of craziness awaits…
September 28, 2007 at 6:21 am |
Hey Leesa….hell yea the Bayou Pigs are going to be there. I already got my plane ticket from Vegas. Looking forward to seeing you again. Same goes for you Damon! Wow, this is going to be a blast!
October 2, 2007 at 6:40 pm |
I’m sorry to have to miss the 20th year anniversary. Does anyone know if there will be a CD or DVD coming out of this “once in a lifetime” happening?
October 2, 2007 at 11:41 pm |
Will there be any problems with bringing vid equip in, I would love to document this event .
October 3, 2007 at 5:55 pm |
Please do, and post snippets to YouTube, even if they’re off a cellphone. 10 years of my life in 2 nights. I live in a foreign-speaking land (see J. Geils Band) and can’t hope to make it over there in time. And the hell of it is, I was out of town when Bliss Blood did a gig here!
Welp, I’ll probably see some of you guys at Rudz around Xmas.
October 4, 2007 at 7:26 pm |
I will pay for a well-documented taping of the event. There is an opportunity for someone to make some money. I’m sure others would pay for it as well.
October 6, 2007 at 5:26 pm |
Hey guys, if any of you are planning on shooting video of performance please let JR or Julie know. Me and Seamus are gonna be shooting stuff to be used for a little video compilation that i will be working on. So if you want some of your stuff to be on there, please let us know. We are looking for performance stuff but also folks sending shout outs or telling Axiom stories on video. And one last thing, if you plan on attending make sure you get the word out to everyone you know abou this gig. Don’t just tell folks that were in the scene 20 years ago, tell your nephew, your little cousin, your neighbors kid that is a senior in high school and thinks that independent music started with myspace.com, tell everybody. It’s gonna be a good time.
Plus we may all be dead by the the 40th anniversary show.
October 7, 2007 at 5:55 pm |
I am totally stoked about this show! Its gonna be great hearing this stuff live again!
I would like to invite all of the Axiom Reunion bands, crew, fans etc. to an after hours open jam warehouse party. I have a 6000 sq ft warehouse.
I will have free pool, free food and free drinks! Leesa is bringing her drums and I will have a pa and stage set up. So lets Jam!
The party is saturday nite at 3012 canal 77003
The party will start after fitzgeralds kicks us out and lasts all morning. Be sure and tell everyone that had to work during the show.
Anyone who wants to help or know more can contact me at 713-927-4825. I could use some lights maybe…
October 9, 2007 at 2:00 am |
i recall a night a drunken Henry Duys came up on stage to tackle me while i was playing. we both fell down and when i stood up my bass tuners grabbed his ear pealing it and his scalp leaving a huge flap a blowin’. he stood up and looked like some dazed zombie holding the side of his head. everyone thought he banged his head and was bleading from his ear.
I had no idea untill we stopped the song. i ended up taking him t some Heights ER to get him stitched up.
Wait a minute, I think Malcom said he would pay for it!
LOL malcom
Or better than that during the Kiss Alive show and Todd caught the lace on fire and everyone stood there watching the ceiling burn like it was part of the show.
Didn’t Jay almost get hung during the JC Superstar show?
October 9, 2007 at 5:06 pm |
GWAR played at the Axiom all the time.
I remember I had this really unnatural fear of them.
Like my fear of Moses in the 10 Commandments.
I would still go to the shows because, well, just because.
But I would spend most of it hiding out upstairs (thanks JR).
I would venture down every once in a while,
in an attempt to you know, try and appreciate them.
I mean they had a lot goin’ on, right?
Like some real entertaining kind of stuff, right?
But they always freaked me out,
made me want to piss my pants,
it was unnerving.
I saw them at the Unicorn one time
and literally ran out of there,
seriously.
I don’t know what my problem was.
October 9, 2007 at 6:36 pm |
This is gonna be the best damn show Houston has seen in years! I am totally going berserk with anticipation! I look forward to running into allof you guys again! The After Jam is on (Moon Beans Style) at my big ass house! Our Website is back up! http://txbeat.com/
This will be a good opportunity for those who had to work to party After Hours and for everyone to jam together.
You can BYOB or hope I got you covered. I’m gonna get some food and some kegs maybe some licker.
The party starts as soon as Fitzgeralds kicks us out and lasts forever!

October 10, 2007 at 10:25 am |
Hey I have a highly important question… what was in the Game Room area??.
Pool Table.
Centipede.
Kiss Pinball Machine….
WHAT ELSE??? I spent alot of time on that Centipede before bands would start up…I have forgotten what else was up there….
See Ya This Weekend.
Billy
October 10, 2007 at 3:25 pm |
Defender was in the gameroom. The pool table was my favorite, especially after a few beers.
October 10, 2007 at 5:48 pm |
Hey JR!!!!!!!
Axiom days…all but a blur…but they were great times;)
How many of us got in the club free!!! Lord…no wonder JR was a broke man back then. ahhahahaha
I will be flying in from San Francisco for this event ready to do some serious damage…just like old times.
Cheers

What the Fuuu?
I’m gonna do my best to show up on Saturday. I used to play drums in USMC (uncle sam’s misguided children) I barely remember anything from 22 years ago. Maybe my feeble memory will be jarred as soon as I have the right amount of beer in me and see some old faces. Tap me on the shoulder if you remember me and I’ll do the same. I’m currently playing with Jeff Copas here in Austin.
October 10, 2007 at 11:02 pm |
See you all this weekend. Anybody bringing old discs to sign?
October 11, 2007 at 12:34 am |
be there with bells on…f’mop, toho, schmog, sprawl…this should be one for the record books. And, thanks to the Chiefs for letting me get up and play some… 😉 much appreciated.
what can I say: looking forward to it

This is going to be one kick ass event! Can’t wait!
October 11, 2007 at 3:59 pm |
Wow, Heather…that Dr. Know flyer was the show where I met them and let them party/stay in my 1br condo back then in West Houston…in the morning they begged me to give them my Manowar “Kings Of Metal” cassette so they could mount it on their dashboard and worship (mock?) Manowar all across the country. Couldn’t deny them that, could I?

Is Liz Polay coming or what?
I was at the first Axiom show when Vampire Lezbos played, the cops came and there was a toilet in the middle of the dancefloor. The one in the restroom didn’t work. I think you could see the sky thru the ceiling. Then I walked into downtown when the cops shut the place down and caught a bus home.
Also promoted my first show in Houston there with Rad Richard – Decadent Dub Team, 3 Wise Min and H-Town Hispanics. I saw so many bands there, this is going to be nice.
Looking forward to seeing all of this!
October 12, 2007 at 7:11 pm |
Have fun ya’ll. I sure wish I could have come down there to participate and see you all! I will be there in spirit.
Love you to death!!!!!!
Bliss
October 13, 2007 at 1:42 am |
Yo! Sonzala! Hit me up at liz@littlemophead.com (and anyone else who wants to keep in touch)
Sorry I couldn’t fly in folks, The kiddo has a stomach flu.. guarantee you are having a better time than I am tonight!
I definitely know I am missing the best damn shows around right now!
October 13, 2007 at 10:36 am |
The Friday show was awesome I’m looking forward to tomorrows show. Ya’ll can hit me up on Myspace http://www.myspace.com/Jayhova4x4 or email me jayhova4x4 (atthat) gmail (thingy) com.

when is the you tube adventure?

October 13, 2007 at 9:23 pm |
Bliss!
Not as much as we love you…which is beyond death.
Best not to elaborate on this in a public discourse.
Missed night one, but the rest of you beware tonight.
More importantly, just discovered this:
Andy Nelson, who did Jesus Christ Superstar with us, died on Weds Oct 3…
there was an obituary in the Houston Chronicle on Weds Oct 10…
ending with this:
Friends will host a wake on Sunday Oct 14
email: tamarie.cooper@gmail.com for information
Just did that, hope she’ll see it and reply quickly before I head to Fitz.
October 13, 2007 at 9:28 pm |
An excerpt from the obituary of Andrew Bruce Nelson:
Andy was a seductively attentive listener; women and men alike fell in love with him. He danced like a dream and had the body of an ox, which he abused with feats of almost heroic thoughtlessness…
What a way to be remembered, many of us aspire to inspire an obit this cool.
Read the rest on Chron archives.
October 13, 2007 at 10:40 pm |
p.s. Here’s the link to Andy’s obituary, which was lovingly penned by Brad Tyer. Be sure to check out the guestbook.

reasons I cast my shadow there on Friday night. (Shaun) you still look HOT playing drums)
K Kowgirl, I love you girl!
De Schmog were fucking GREAT! Everyone else I talked to (you know who you are) will always be in my Heart…

The Three Day Stubble vids in the back and Turmoil in the Toybox were amazing to watch. Great event. Get Sugar Shack and Pain Teens for the 21st Anniversary PLEASE!
And Three Day Stubble!
And Verbal Abuse.
October 14, 2007 at 7:18 pm |
Great show. Good to see ecerybody however my vision is extremely bad these days so I actually couldn’t see many of you. But good to be with you nontheless. Ie was great to see Jahova’s belly dance move. Sad Pygmy covering the Party Owls was cool. Wish I thought of that. I hope there is a 21st anniversary show. I still don’t know who the girl was that said Hi to me on my way our.
October 15, 2007 at 8:10 pm |
Having left Houston 15 years ago, it was a weekend of constant shock for me. Every time I turned around there was a new face that I hadn’t seen in many, many years.
The entire Axiom20th staff did a outstanding job putting this whole thing together, and I would like to express my gratitude to them for all their hard work and sacrifices that allowed me the opportunity of not only sharing a stage with bandmates of 20 yrs past, but also the all the opportunity to experience friends and musicians from that era once again.
And JR, thank you so much for all your hard work, both past and present.
“We’re all freaks, and not afraid to show it!”
October 16, 2007 at 2:24 am |
Yeah it was fun. Required the drinking of wine on Sunday to counter the beer. Hair of the dog as they say. JR, Julie, Rebekah, Mark…ya’ll rock.
Thanks to the Cave Reverend for supplying the backline equipment for bands like mine to abuse.
And Please don’t do a 21st anniversary. 25th maybe. You don’t want this to be too much more of a chore.
Blogs blow.

ps-if you would like to see one of my non-offensive bands play for free. This Saturday at diverse works “Space City Gamelan” plays at 6:15 in a day long “Unusual Animals” fest put on by Asthmatic Kitty Records. We play Indonesian Bronze Gong type music. Its fun and FREE!
October 16, 2007 at 6:01 pm |
JR and Rebekah and all- What a weekend! It was so FAR-OUT! I new many faces and did not get to connect with them all. All you Axiom women still look so good. TOHO and Anarchitex were just beyond the pale they were so good! Those I missed well talk at the 25th! Those I spent time with I will do the same. Be Well and of course- we are all freaks and not afraid to show it!!! much love and peace
October 16, 2007 at 6:27 pm |
Thanks everyone involved! That was good.
October 16, 2007 at 8:26 pm |
Thank you JR, Julie, Rebekah, Richard and all involved for the show and for opportunity for so many paths to cross again.We applaud you! B.E.
October 16, 2007 at 10:02 pm |
we had a blast!!!!!
October 17, 2007 at 10:13 pm |

October 18, 2007 at 5:41 pm |
Thanks JR, Julie, Rebekah, Richard & all who made the Reunion happen.We had a blast this past weekend .It was great seeing everyone and everyone Rocked.

Thank you JR, Julie, Rebekah and the whole crew for putting in the many hours of hard work that made this whole thing happen. I, along with the rest of the Bayou Pigs really had a blast and are really glad that we were able get all of the members back together and play. We are honored to be able to participate in something so cool. It was also great seeing everyone from the old scene all together again. It was way better than any high school reunion…..that’s for sure! Thanks!
October 19, 2007 at 12:47 pm |
Cinco Dudes brought it saturday night. Just like the old days only soberer. Soberer?
Yo Fred Dude, give me a shout about playing in Houston. We forgot to exchange pertinent info.
October 19, 2007 at 3:06 pm |
Yeah, agree with Damon. A 25 anniversary party would be too damn far from now. Wish something like this would happen more often, like once a month, maybe in some more informal location (i.e. easier to put on, etc.). Maybe at least once a year? (dammit!)
Enjoyed the heck out of last weekend. Keeps us older rockers young…
October 19, 2007 at 4:59 pm |
Just want to shout out to everybody that participated in this thing and especially to “the Axiom Staff” who worked hard to put it together. Both nights rocked and everybody looked so damn good, must have been a lot of gut sucking going on. The only problem I had was missing the Anarchitex because we played at the same time. That sucked big time. Oh and missing Jimmy Bradshaw for a stupid baby shower. Oh wait that’s my baby so never mind. Still sucked though.
All the Best,
Kilian

I can’t believe I didn’t even know this was happening until today. I officially hate the internet for being so vast.
Oh well, maybe I’ll make the 40th event.
October 23, 2007 at 2:33 am |
Kilian:
You needn’t fret about missing the Anarchitex’ set on Friday night. Our buddy,Ben Tecumseh DeSoto recorded the show from the audience and we’re streaming the results at http://myspace.com/anarchitex . Very raw oriinals. Includes onstage chit-chat with Kathy Kowgirl,words of encouragement from Don Walsh and observations by actual members of the general public.
enjoy,

November 2, 2007 at 10:44 pm |
Sorry I couldn’t make it out, caught one helluva stomach virus. Next time ,you’ve got to get Cement Pond to play. It’s like they played that one time and then vanished! Best show I ever saw at the Axiom…
November 7, 2007 at 6:20 pm |
Man I wish I had known of this, I attended UofH back in the late 80’s and played a couple of shows at the Axiom, Rudz, remember the Pik-n-PAK,
If you guys do 25th count me in

RIP – RIXMYTH
As many of you know, one of the Houston Music Scene’s most beloved member, Rixmyth (aka Rick Smith) died three weeks after the Axiom Reunion Concert. He attended both nights and loved every minute. I have taken the liberty of posting some photos pf Rick as well as some album art he did for my band. I would like to have included the great pic the Chronicle took of Rick goofing around at the Show, but copyright law forbids. The photos I uploaded are from rix’ myspace page.

Rev Brian, contact Fred Dude at his website http://www.shellyknight.com or via his myspace account for the Shelly Knight and the living dead. Thanks to you and Julie and Rebeka and Richard and JR and Greg- we loved the show, and the poster we had it framed and is in my office here in Recife. My son Parker Roe will be moving to Houston this March 08, he wants to be like his old man and make it in the Houston scene. It says alot about the influence of the Axiom reunion. Hope everyone will have a good Thanksgiving and an even better holiday season. Tchau
January 10, 2008 at 8:33 pm |
Live ROCK !! an I missed it. Hey JR, I miss speed skating around the Ax and doing carpentry until 3am! “Hey, is that stage repaired yet?” Where is Janet Lowry? Where are you JR? email me john.jelks@gmail.com. Take care, see you at the 40th, eh? “Noska knows, but he won’t tell, and when he’s gone, he’ll trash in hell”. Love and Skates, JJ..
