Austin Chronicle Winner! - Coolest Venue You Thought Was Only a Coffee Shop!
"With a name like Kick Butt, you'd think the atmosphere in these coffeehouses would lean toward assertive--or at least jittery. "Kick back" is far more descriptive. Unpretentious and un-corporate, Kick Butt Coffee Music & Booze is the creation of Austin's renowned Tai Chi and Kung Fu master. Here you're just as likely to bump into artists, musicians and poets as you are entrepreneurs, office workers and bean counters.
The art of latte-making has been mastered. Deliciously original "samiches" named for legends like Bruce Lee are featured on the menu. And don't resist treating yourself to the "Ying Yang" white and black chocolate mousse cake.
Kick Butt Coffee has earned its well-deserved black belt in mouth-watering fare and entertaining yet relaxed ambience. The only thing you'll have to fight here is the impulse to sip, eat and linger all day and night." - Magic 95.5 FM
I love this !! These kids could have done any song from like Tom Petty or something, but they chose one of the best songs from METALLICA !!! Long live Metallica !!!
Hearing the Maples for the first time, a lot of talent and showmanship there. His vocals sample from Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker and more. Thanks Mary Hooper for the link. She appears at 1:58.17, singing Irma Thomas' Time Is On My Side.
