About
The Take ATX
The creative force behind The Take ATX is Greg Thelen, who has been recording and performing in Austin, Texas since the mid 70’s. In 1980 he formed "The Take” to play his original power pop tunes at various venues in and around Austin. The band released a single 45 titled “Tonight” which saw local radio airplay and reached #3 on the Austin Chronicle’s Best Texas 45s List in 1982.
Fast forward to 2025, The Take ATX has produced an EP featuring 3 songs from the original 80s band plus 3 more of recent vintage. Taking advantage of 4+ decades of technological advancement in music production, The Take ATX creates a full band sound using a mix of digital instruments and live recordings. The result is a variety of styles and subject matter with an emphasis on melody, harmonic structures, and lyrics.
