Best Return to the Club Business

Dave Thomson

After spending the latter half of the Nineties working for Austin's own music festival, Thomson hung up his SXSW ballcap and returned to this former employer, Emo’s. The club had been undergoing a renaissance of sorts since Frank Hendrix took over, but with Thomson back, the venerable punk joint has both heart and soul. Not to mention the Butthole Surfers.
