Our 2012 album “Martyrs of the Alamo” is now on Spotify, Apple Music and more.

10 years ago, we ventured outside our home state of Texas with a silent film for the first time.  The movie we happened to be doing in 2012 was “Martyrs of the Alamo” which tells the story of the battle of the Alamo from a 1917 perspective — meaning it’s not very accurate.  It even features a young Douglas Fairbanks in blackface just for a moment. Gross.

Anyway, we created this soundtrack at the request of the Bullock Museum in Austin where we debuted it.  It was very fun to play and we, of course, used Aaron Copland, Ennio Morricone, Reverend Horton Heat and good ol’ Tchaikovsky as inspiration.

Now, the entire soundtrack has been re-ordered for listening without the film (meaning all the more fun tracks are up front) and we’ve finally put it on streaming services.

Here’s a pic of Bill Petersen, Phil Davidson and Gonzalo Ramos at the Crescent Theatre in 2012!  Gonzalo had just learned the soundtrack barely two weeks before and he recorded it with us when we got back to Austin!
