Twenty years after the 97′s took a lap around the neighborhood, another homegrown group plans to do the same.
Two decades after the 97′s took a lap around the neighborhood, another homegrown group plans to do the same.
Much surrounding those two nights has been lost to time, including any reviews, descriptions or footage of the 97′s’ shows. Or the fact that lead guitarist Ken Bethea — who conceived of the idea after hearing Reverend Horton Heat did something similar in the early ‘90s — had originally wanted the tour to include Sons of Herman Hall and Bar of Soap before it was whittled down to two shows. Or the record label drama happening at the same time which nearly forced the 97′s to split up.
“It’s such a fun idea that’s been in the back of my mind,” Wells said. “It seemed like after all these years it was time to make it happen.”The original Tour of Deep Ellum might have been seen as something of a victory lap for the Old 97′s. They had released their fifth studio album earlier that year.
One night at Naomi’s, Miller stuck the microphone in his mouth and lost a tooth pulling it out. “Everybody there was at risk of getting hit by the blood that came out of my mouth when the tooth came out,” Miller said. In the re-created tour, the AllGood Cafe and Twilite Lounge shows are likely to be slightly less boisterous and will involve bringing musician friends on stage for surprise performances, an element of camaraderie Ottoman Turks wanted to carry on from the original tour. Both Pleasant Grove, the band that played Trees on the original tour, and Sorta, which played Gypsy Tea Room, were rising Dallas groups in 2001. The Old 97′s lent them opening slots to give them a larger platform.
“We wouldn’t exist as a band if Double Wide hadn’t given us all those opportunities,” Wells said. “We’ve probably played there 20 times.”“You’re right, I guess we’re old now,” said Wells, 30.When Wells gazed at the Old 97′s poster in AllGood, he imagined a band on top of the world, but the reality was more complicated for the group.
