Sky Saxon’s record signing has been rescheduled to Sat March 14th, just prior to his performance.

Sky Saxon’s contributions to 60s garage are multifold and often criminally overshadowed by his contemporaries in the genre he helped pioneer, but one listen to his band The Seeds and you’ll see why Muddy Waters once called them “America’s Rolling Stones.” And on March 7th, both the man and the legend will be in Austin at Antone’s Records to sign albums and rock out to kindred garage spirits Shapes Have Fangs. Come get a preview of both Sky and Shapes before their collaboration at Psych Fest 2. Here’s the official press release:
