..and here is mine. Yup, that's me on fiddle, the first recorded evidence of such, Lord help us.It started out innocently enough when a pal of mine and I both took delivery of wood bodied instruments from the wizards at National Resophonic Guitars. We got together at the house to see how they sounded played together, and then a beer or two and then a "hey, let's get a gig." It's either a band that's a very bad joke or a very bad joke that's a band. Nevermind, how can we suck less than what graces the stages of Austin these days.
Here's a sample press release:
"Introducing a rare performance by Fat Man & Little Boy; the Atomic Duo, this town's finest (and hopefully only) mildly pederastic Folk-Blues duo, featuring Austin's beloved Kike-of-the-Blues Mark Rubin and his fetching ward, Silas Lowe..." and even more extended hyperbolic folderoll.
Hard to fathom, but we've invited to play quite a few dates locally, which means something but I'm not quite sure what yet...

I saw Fat Man And Little Boy: The Atomic Duo. They were great. They really have a sound. I mean this is the real deal. These guys really come from where they are singning about-you can tell. It's like a glimps into a soon forgotten past. Mark Rubin's fiddle playing was the highlight. His ability to throw out trite conventions and return to a time when everyone sounded like they were still learning is amazing. Refreshing. If more band in Austin sounded like this then the city would truely be able to claim "live music capital of the world".
