PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 26, 2008 - The band is inviting friends, fans and the press

cigar and celebration. The event will be held at Ruta Maya in Austin

Space and Worse Than Hippies. There will be a $4 cover charge. Reyes

25 Smokin' Figurados, is the culmination of the efforts of singer/songwriter Timothy Abbott and singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Gregg Kirk. Backing them will be Phil Bass on drums, Johnny Big on bass and Bryan Anderton on guitar.
After playing in a number of varied bands in the '90s, songwriting
veterans Timothy Abbott and Gregg Kirk grew tired of writing in a
single style in a typical band setting and instead opted to open up
their songwriting catalog and apply it within a loose-knit group of
musicians known as 25 Smokin' Figurados. Their songs - "which breathe
with Midwestern angst, urban depravity, and Texas heat -- are meant to
be played at maximum volume and savored... like a fine figurado."
