Gus Baldwin is a singer/songwriter/ ex-hippie/part-time punk hailing from Austin, TX. After a stint holding down drums for Dallas surf punk legends Sealion in high school, Baldwin went on to form the psych pop combo Acid Carousel, which he led for 6 years and 20 something releases before departing the band on Halloween night 2021. Since leaving Acid Carousel, Gus has made a name for himself as a solo artist in Austin, constantly performing as a singer/songwriter, one man garage band, or with his band The Sketch. Quickly releasing a string of titles on his own GetWithIt! Records imprint, including the EPs Thriller II, and Live Bugs, as well as a slew of singles, Gus established himself firmly as the godson of Texas rock’n’ roll.
Teaming up with former Acid Carousel bandmates, and other friends, Gus formed The Sketch in 2022 with Lucas Martins, David Rawlinson, and Trey Gutierrez. Embracing the aggression of dirty punk, the looseness of garage, and the charm of power pop, The Sketch quickly established themselves as new cornerstones of the fading Austin rock scene. Recording their debut LP in one marathon day of recording in LA in the spring of 2024 with engineer Joey Oaxaca (White Reaper, Starcrawler), The Sketch is the culmination of Baldwin’s vision, manifested through the raw power of The Sketch themselves. Baldwin splits his time as a frequent collaborator with The Black Angels and with the likes of Christian Bland & The Revelators as well as The UFO Club with Night Beats frontman, Danny Lee Blackwell.
