Palaxy Tracks Best of Compliation - with San Saba County
Do you like Austin music? I mean, you say you do, but do you really like / know Austin music? One of its founding fathers, Palaxy Tracks, (beginning late 90's / Brandon Durham) has choreographed an amazing feat - releasing a 'Best of' Palaxy Tracks album as covered by many, many, great artists. And we, San Saba County, have eagerly participated by recording/performing our favorite PT song (the best, evah) "Girls on Bikes."

This new compilation album is called "Animals" and will be released Feb. 28th. Pre-order the album here.
But there's more....
Proceeds will go to assist orphaned animals in Kenya (Neko Case, we're looking at you ;) )
"2 volumes. 58 songs. 26 artists. 100% of the proceeds go to help rescue and rehabilitate orphaned rhinos, elephants and giraffes in Kenya."

Austin Chronicle Music Review - "Fifth"
Austin Chronicle's review of "Fifth":
"instantly familiar to fans of R.E.M. and the multitude of acts that followed in their sneaker prints...At nine vinyl tracks, Fifth spins brief, but this band deserves the same national audience that Okkervil River and Shearwater enjoy."
