This Week in Texas Music History, we hail the first accordion king of South Texas. On June 29, 1911, conjunto accordionist Pedro Ayala was born in central Nuevo Leon, Mexico. His family moved to South Texas when Pedro was eight. They worked in the fields by day and by night played as a family band. Pedro’s first instrument in that ensemble was a homemade tambora drum, and his father, brothers, and sisters took up the guitar, fiddle, flute, and accordion. As a teenager, Ayala gravitated to this last instrument, the first steps in a career that earned him the nickname “Monarch of the Accordion.”

It’s going to be a wet, hot July here at KUTX with our newest Artist of the Month, J’cuuzi! Too electronic to be post-punk, too post-punk to be considered electronic, and just a bit too melodic to be straight noise rock, Austin’s J’cuuzi is about as avant-garde as it gets.

The band is set to release its debut album, "SLUDGEcontent," on July 25, with a release show at Mohawk the following night, July 26, as part of the Red River Cultural District’s Hot Summer Nights.
