At SXSW this spring, Austin local Alan Palomo, who records under the name VEGA, made waves with his energetic and eclectic performances. He drops his first official release, the “Well Known Pleasures” EP on July 1 through Vogue College Records. Citing influences like 10cc and Todd Rundgren and having notched collabos with Treasure Fingers and Futurecop, VEGA connects the heritage of edgy rocker dudes of the past with edgy DJ dudes of today. Who knew there was such connective tissue of male angst and swagger across the decades?
