Denim (band)
Denim is an American band based in Austin, Texas formed in 1970. 1980 saw some members of Denim join in a different project, "The Austin All-Stars". The All-Stars were a premiere party band in Austin, playing at the Steamboat on 6th street regularly. Many locals credit the All-Stars' shows at Steamboat in the 1980s as a major factor in the creation of the 6th street music scene, drawing large crowds to that part of town regularly.
