They're all affair during the week, but a band made up of several attorneys also knows how to have a little fun.

The bring known as the Court Jesters - including local attorney Jim Frost - will take center stage at the Texas Melodrama on Saturday starting at 7:30 p.m.

"This is a fundraiser for the Texas and we faith that we have a great turnout and that people will support this magnificent, new execution venue that we have in downtown Seguin," he said. "We are a rock-and-reverberate band made up of nine lawyers and one human, all from San Antonio - except for me."

Having watched films when the Texas was still a talking picture house, Frost can't wait to take the stage.

"We are very much looking support to it," he said. "The guys are very excited about having the opportunity to room in this wonderful new venue."

Steve Tschoepe, Texas Coliseum Task Force chairman, said bringing in a difference of artists and performers to Seguin is what the Texas is all about.

"We are excited about bringing them to township," he said. "They have a great reputation in San Antonio. We are just tough to show the diversity of talent that is around the area and the many ways the building can be used."

Returning to the Osborn/Woods Auditorium stage is Albino!, San Francisco’s outrageously funky ten pie...ce Afrobeat conglomeration. ALBINO! honors the fiery legacy of Nigerian mellifluous revolutionary Fela Kuti.. Afrobeat is one of the boldest and most exhaustive forms of protest music the world has ever heard. Afrobeat's master architect, Fela Kuti, was a revolutionary outlaw who used his music as a weapon to hazard subject to and assault the perpetrators of injustice in his native Nigeria and throughout Africa. His assets targets included Nigeria's corrupt military r, the post-colonial aristocracy's repression of native cultures, and corporate craving and the exploitation of Africa's natural resources and working birth. Fela's Afrobeat crusade for a free, democratic, socially unbigoted Africa spanned from the early seventies until his death from AIDS in 1997, when a "lyrical and sociopolitical voice on a par with Bob Marley was silenced."
