The Bluebonnets / New Mystery Girl

The Bluebonnets are a rock band based in Austin, TX. album review from the Austin Chronicle: The Bluebonnets/ Play Loud Reviewed by Scott Schinder, Fri., Nov. 28, 2014 Austin native and erstwhile ex-Go-Go Kathy Valentine's current combo the Bluebonnets has quietly become one of the best and most distinctive rock & roll bands in town, with a surfeit of seasoned talent and an irresistible swagger that helps to make the foursome's second long-player a consistent blast. Such lyrically barbed numbers as "She's Got Thorns," "Psychometer," and "60 Punishing Minutes," mostly cowritten by Valentine and longtime compatriot Dominique Davalos, who plays bass and sings most of the leads, merge bemused adult insight with inventive, surprise-filled melodies that show off the quartet's combustible chemistry. New Mystery Girl “Twist City” is the first album from New Mystery Girl, a band project envisioned by Chrissy Flatt and abetted by a crew of like minded Austin, TX rock’n’rollers. Ms. Flatt, known for her previous works “Wings of a Butterfly” and “Walk With Kings”, comes out swinging with twelve fresh original songs bringing together influences from 60′s girl groups and British invasion pioneers to 70′s glam and early punk.
