The Vulcan Gas Co. was responsible for a wonderful series of concert material that is very scarce and beautiful. This rare original handbill by artist Jim Franklin announced an event titled "Kaleidoscoptic" at the venue on October 17th, 1968, featuring Shiva's Headband. Shiva's Headband was the Vulcans' house band.
Austin, Texas, has a rich musical tradition dating back to the 1930s. Often spoken of in the same breath as Nashville and New Orleans, Austin is considered an American sweet spot of musical collaboration and innovation. During the 1960s, a small group of students began promoting Psychedelic and Blues concerts in the Austin area. They were originally known as the Electric Grandmother. Later, they became the Vulcan Gas Company and eventually opened a venue under the same name.
