Biography:
Goodnight, Texas is the transcontinental garage appalachian collaboration of San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf. Previously known as P.

Their pre-debut LP Coattails (2010) is a stripped-down and earthen set, in turn raucous and sparse.
