It's been a very busy summer at Sonobeat.com. We've cracked open the long-sealed Sonobeat master tape archives and now have on offer almost 150 sound bites taken from material Sonobeat recorded during the period 1967 through 1976. These sound bites represent a huge cross-section of Austin, Central Texas, and regional artists of the era. Yes, we started our Summer Bonanza a little early this year, back in mid-May, and we're pleased to continue to offer additional sound bites every Tuesday throughout summer 2008. Here's what we've added so far...
