the second in numeros series of peeks into the world of regional studios hones in on mickey rouses lowland operation out of beaumont, texas. long after the boppers plane crashed and the winter brothers (johnny and edgar) and janis joplin split, texas golden triangle was home to a vibrant scene of musicians, songwriters, and entrepreneurs just trying to make it in houston, let alone the world.
from the ashes of a vibrant garage and stage band scene, the lowland studio and its clientele were formed. holed up in a rundown strip mall, groups like mourning sun, insight out, sage, sassy, mother lion, hope, circus, and boot hill tracked out hundreds of demos, most of which were put on the shelf and left to bake in the south east texas heat. until now.
