Earlier this month, we packed up our cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat (OK, so we borrowed them from a friend), and headed out to Austin, TX for its annual SXSW festival. We teamed up with our friends from Monster Children and hosted an exclusive showcase courtesy of Sonny’s Porch. Not in our little beach cottage in Cocoa Beach, but in the heart of the Texas music scene: Empire Garage.
Hats off to the Austin community, Monster Children and all the amazing participating bands including Automatic, dust and Deeper. Thanks for letting us mess with ya, Texas. We’ll be back.
Sonny’s Porch has always been about community, ever since our first band squeezed onto the tiny stage at our Cocoa Beach home/office back in 2015. Since then, it’s been our way of welcoming friends, family, and under-the-radar musicians into our world. This time, it was Being Dead’s turn.
From the local honky-tonk circuit to the mechanical-bull-like wedges in the pool, we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting zone to welcome Rattlesnake Milk at our pop-up Sonny’s Porch event on opening day of the 2025 Waco Surf Water Park summer season.
