Austin blues rockers, The Sideshow Tragedy, are a charismatic hybrid of Texas roots influence and an unhinged garage-influenced moxie. As this duo prepares to release their upcoming new album, The View From Nowhere, they are tantalizing fans with a music video for the album's first single "Nobody." Tapping into their Texas upbringing, Nathan Singleton and Jeremy Harrell, showcase a rugged blue-collar life in their video by working the land, fixing trucks, and drinking in dirty bars. Lyrics like "There is nobody else out on the road tonight/ Just me and my memories looking for a fight" tap into the small-town rugged psyche that dominates the music. The Sideshow Tragedy will be playing a Tuesday night residency at Stay Gold at throughout October, for those in Austin looking for a good time.
