The Belleville Outfit at Momo’s
Every so often, a band comes along that radically renews one’s joy in Austin music.
Admission: I’m late coming to the Belleville Outfit. Rightfully, they’ve already been lionized by the music press.
Jessica Spence, Ian Villamin
Better late than never, don’t you think? After their CD-release set at Momo’s on Saturday, I eagerly joined the Outfit’s ragtag army of fans.
Becca Gonzales, Celeste
Austin likes artists who can’t be categorized easily. Just try to count the number of influences on this band that starts out with a bluegrass flair, then branches out into jazz, classical, Eastern European, Middle Eastern and honky-tonk in the space of a few songs.
Bas Rokers, Molly Cummings
The Outfit’s followers, who snapped up copies of “Time to Stand,” are suitably heterogeneous. A good number of the grayer folks may have heard the band’s playful appearance on KUT, or maybe they were family friends of the sprightly Fire Ants, the teen group that proceeded the headliners on stage.
Katy Larkin, Miranda Dawn, Mary Derosa
Anyway, don’t take my word for it. Sample the Belleville Outfit, then get in line to follow them where ever they go.
Jeremy Cohen, Stephanie Hunt, Dick Jarrell
