The Continental Club has been rocking Austin since 1957. It went through a burlesque phase in the ‘60s; welcomed acts as varied as Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Butthole Surfers and Leroy Parnell in the ‘70s; underwent a makeover in the ‘80s that returned it to its ‘50s look; and is still going strong today. If you’re coming to town to catch a show here, book yourself into the Hotel San Jose across the street; the band’s probably staying there, and you’ll dig the vibe.

Rockabilly

rob's rating:

"I’ve had many nights out in this small club that is one of the epicenters of live music in Austin, especially for Rockabilly. Crowded in to hear Toni Price, 8 1/2 Souvenirs, Recliners, Storyville, Kelly Willis, Jesse Dayton, Dale Watson, Derailers, Gourds. I took Swing dancing lessons here. Played pool with Joe Ely in the pool room in the back. You must go here for essential Austin."
