band photo from Coffee Plantation (Guadalupe) 8/23/96 as printed in XLent
“The band Echo Juliet (from left, James Hines, Christine Ely and Bryan Dunn) plays at the Plantation. Their Cyndi Lauper cover got the biggest applause.”
The Austin American Statesman’s weekly XLent for 8/29/96 presented “24 Hours on the Drag”. We were profiled and I thought it was cool press, even though our cover of Time After Time definitely DID NOT get the most applause that night. I remember this clearly. I think the writer just pulled that out of their butt.

Last call for coffee
Then there’s the scene at Coffee Plantation, open until midnight, though at 11 p.m., someone from behind the counter yells, “Last call.” two words that apparently have a universal effect: Several java addicts run up to get one last fix.
There’s a band tonight at the Plantation, playing amongst the palm trees and soft pink and kelly green murals. They’re called Echo Juliet and they’re made up of two current and two former students. They’ve played Steamboat. They’ve played the Saxon Pub. But tonight, they’re playing the Drag, where their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” will get the most applause.
The Plantation proves to be one of three spots on the Drag where you can really catch the University of Texas students.
