Following Secret Disco Society’s rampant success in the Austin live music scene and a timely feature on Austin Monthly’s Instagram account, over 500 people RSVP’d (and judging by the crowd inside and the line that stretched out the door, they showed up.) A good turnout demands good music, and Anula, Jess James, and Nyoki had the crowd on their feet.
