A site dedicated to Dedicated to the ROMAN CANDLES,
a power-band band of the late-'80s in Austin, Texas.

"I think about what I did tonight as I kick a can into the gutter, another night on this sorry town, the thought of it makes me shudder, in the street as I walk along, at my feet, I see a silver coin, but I don't even bother trying to pick it up, cause I know that nothing's gonna change my luck..."

"Walking Home Drunk" circa 1988 Roman Candles.
