The boys of the Dallas street party rock group The Late Night Call Band are busier than they've ever been, and things are bound to get even busier now that going outdoors doesn't require a bucket of sunscreen.
The Late Night Call Band consists of singer and guitarist Rickey Mitchell, bassist Joe Galate and drummer Jimmy Hicks. Last month, the group purchased an old bus to take a short tour of Texas, which they're hoping will lead to some scheduled — and street busking — gigs in New Orleans by the end of the year.
They ran a short"Bus Tour" in mid-August starting at Goat Hill on Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas. After that it was on to Rabbit's Got the Gun and Faded Decade in Houston and Austin's famous Sixth Street, where they played right on the street from the roof of the bus. "Some cops pulled up and they're in the street talking to the owner," Galate says."It started sprinkling, and they ended up giving the owner a ticket. So the owner said, 'Screw it. We already got the ticket. So y'all just keep playing.'"
