The Secret Show is a collective of Austin musicians who are dedicated to bringing music to the most out-of-the-way and beautifully unusual corners of Austin. Their 4th performance in the series took place on Tuesday night, in a drainage ditch behind Ricky Guerrero park, with a wall covered in graffiti as a backdrop and a few dozen fans and friends in attendance. The shows are always performed with short notice, announced on the group's Myspace with as little as a single day's notice.

This show was performed by locals some say Leland, with Ted Hadji and Frank Smith opening the set. It was a relaxing and intimate atmosphere, punctuated with Hadji's bawdy English singalong and a five-year-old's dinosaur jokes, by way of ssL frontman Dan Grissom. To find out about future shows, add The Secret Show on Myspace.
