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.

Discography

• Denim (Self titled) (1977): Denim's first release was the now infamous self titled album released on Epic Records. This album cover was also the inspiration for the official Denim band t-shirts.
• Lost in the Late Late Show (1978): After a struggle with the record companies, Denim was forced to temporarily change their name to the "less country sounding" "Traveler". This album was released during this time on ABC Records.
• Indian Paintbrush (1995): Back together in 1989, Denim began the "Living Room Sessions" and the result was their third release, Indian Paintbrush. In this incarnation Denim included an additional member. The group released this and all subsequent albums under their own label, Grump Records.
• Evolution (1999): With a diverse collection of songs in many different styles under their belt, Denim released their fourth album with the fitting title Evolution.
• The Fifth Sun (2003): Dipping back into their pasts, the members of Denim re-recorded many of their unreleased classics from days of yore; The Fifth Sun is their fifth album.
• Cool Blue Flame (2008): The current Denim album Cool Blue Flame pushes the boundaries further than ever before with creative genre bending compositions and an artistic flashback.
