Well That's Cool Show This Tuesday
Well That's Cool does not bring you crap. We pride ourselves on being crap free. Too once again prove that we that we are un-crap we are bring you are great show this Tuesday at Egans.
welthatscool.com is set showcase two bands straight out of Austin Texas, La Snacks and Transmography. You need to be at Egans to witness the Drunk Fun Time Tour. If there is anything we as Tuscaloosains can do well, it is get behind a drunk fun time.
La Snacks has garnered many favorable comparisons with Pavement, The Onion AV Club wrote: “The blissfully slacked-out La Snacks would have found good company in the mid-’90s sandwiched on a Pavement/Archers of Loaf bill, but even Pavement rarely wrote songs as simultaneously snarky and reverent as “Emo Kind of Love.”"
Austinsound.net said that Transmography is "...industrial thwamp of experimental rock that coheres in abstract rhythms and explosive instrumental freak-outs."
You should just come on out to Egan's this Tuesday and and find out for yourself. These guys are on tour for the rest of the month, show some support so we can keep getting great bands in Tuscaloosa.

We would also like to thank the sponsors, the people who allow us to bring you the wellthatscool.com podcast each and every week. We are very appreciative of all the sponsors new and old. We can't do it without you.
2009 was a great year for Well That's Cool; new sponsors, new look, rock shows, soap, baby, a baby pool, Rocky Horror and a lot of free beer. We are working on some great new things as we move on in to the new year. Most of the new stuff is still top secret but keep coming back week after week to find out what is next for Well That's Cool, you and Tuscaloosa. The one thing that is not top secret is that we will be no longer sending you a annoying weekly message if you are in the Well That's Cool group on Facebook. We have now created a fan page, Well That's Cool. The fan page will make you experience with us more interactive and now our messages will show up in you live stream, not cluttering your inbox.

The Business Insider made the list of the top 25 laziest cities in America by analyzing three metrics: self-reported obesity and physical activity rates (from the Centers for Disease Control) and TV viewership (from Nielsen). The scores were then normalized and combined to rank the worst cities.
