Newbie question - Showed up at Brownwood last week at 5 to see Rocky and the Rollers - no seating and lots of overflow of people bringing their own chairs - Also noticed that Blonde Ambition and a Scooter the DJ will fill up all the seating. What other bands do you need to show up early at that square to ensure you get a seat?

Hooligans, Spazmatics, Johnny Wild, Greg Warren, Southbound, Slickwood and a few others. Basically, this time of year it's always crowded unless the band is just plain bad.

We like Slickwood and the Hooligans. Currently Hooligans not playing in TV due to long term contract with EPCOT.

Slickwood is a real good country/rock and roll band without electric guitars

Anita Drink is a great band. Plus, I love the name.

Uncle Bob's Rock Shop always gets a good crowd.

We also like Stella Beat and Mpire along with others mentioned. You will find your own favorites and not like what we like. Enjoy.

Assume that you may need to bring your own chairs and perhaps sit outside the fence until April. It’s that time of year when our population doubles. Summertime, plenty of seating, and perhaps some rain.

we like 60s and 70s classic rock, so I would go with Rocky and the Rollers and Johnny Wild. What kind of music you like is the key. Scooter the DJ is fine to see, once. He does the same schtick every time.

Rocky and Johnny Wild are good bands but they both do too much 50 music for our taste. They draw very well so squares very crowded on their nights

Another band that packs squares is Bluestone Circle . I think that’s there name. They have a little girl singer who really gets people going. One of my favorites.

Do you think it might depend on what you like for entertainment?

Their knockoff group The Spazmatics are a very good British theme group...

Cactus Jack and Uncle Bob's both pack them in.
