In 1978, the Sex Pistols played a gig in San Antonio at Randy’s Rodeo, a country western bar. We bought our tickets for $2 at Joske’s and drove down for the show. This absurd concert, one of only 5 in the US tour, dropped like a bomb on the Austin music scene. An explosion of punk creativity resulted in an entirely new music scene that formed almost overnight. This new scene found a home in Raul’s club on the drag and also at clubs like Duke’s, Clubfoot, and of course Soap Creek and the Dillo.
I am currently building a database of the many shows I shot back then. Soon I will have this information and many more photos on this site. Meanwhile, feel free to contact me at promethman@aol.com
