Asylum Street Spankers  The Asylum Street Spankers, formed in
Austin, Texas in 1994, is an American swing, jazz, and dirty-
blues band. Their tone is raucous and irreverent, and their
material often concerns illicit drug references and sexual
connotations. For many years, they performed their show
acoustically, without any type of amplification at all.  The
band derived its name from an Austin street where they would
often busk that was nicknamed Asylum Street, now named Guadalupe
Street, and the term "spanker" which is an old musician's term
for "one who plays his instrument vigorously and proficently".
It was along Guadalupe that the group played a number of early
shows; Asylum Street led to a state asylum.  *Christina Marrs
