Can there be a worse name than the Reivers?
Zeitgeist was so perfect. Then Austin’s best ’80s indie pop band had to change their name- to the Reivers. The newly reformed band announced Thursday at Antone’s sold-out Child Guidance Center benefit that they are now called Right Or Happy - as in when you’re in a fight with your signif-o, do you want to be right or happy? (Isn’t that a Blue Collar Comedy routine?)
Our number one Right Or Happy fan Jay says John, Kim, Toth and Garrett played “four new amazing songs.” They’re back!

hey, it’s a good name and we can call ourselves anything we want. honestly, i heard that even ***** didn’t think that was such a great name to begin with. peter holsapple likes it and that’s more than good enough for me. course, i’m biased.
