Those looking to get out and about on a Tuesday night in Austin should head on out to Red 7 for longtime favorite around these parts The Helio Sequence. Complimenting the lineup nicely is Portland based, and fellow ATH favorite, Lost Lander. With a busy week ahead in Austin, this is definitely a can’t miss show.

After adding in some layers of synthesizer to their last effort, Pagan Hiss, the Hussy have stripped it all down, just focusing on guitar work with varying percussive and string elements added for texture. The group’s first single from Galore has that psych bounce that’s been popularized by group’s like Thee Oh Sees; they do seem to play these songs with a heavier hand than most, which gives them that dosage of differentiation. They’ve got a huge tour lined up for the early summer months, including Austin dates at Cheer Ups and the Yellowjacket. Look for the release on Southpaw Records on June 30th.

I’ve already tossed a nod towards Knifight playing over at Cheer Up Charlies tonight, but there’s definitely some other shows that should pop up on your local Austin show radar. There’s actually a lot going on on Friday, but I’m going to highlight the places you should probably end up…then I’ll take a quick look at Saturday’s events too. These are just one man’s recommendations. Read more

Lots of shows are going down this weekend in Austin, but my most highly anticipated show has got to be Matt Pond PA stopping into town at Holy Mountain. Having been a fan of the band for such a long time, I’ve personally been looking forward to another chance to catch the band in the live setting for a long time. To make things even better this lineup is loaded with North Carolinians Matrimony and local favorites Tiger Waves. Come join the ATH crew for a solid evening of tunes.

Things are heating up with Free Week, with tons of shows being lined up for your enjoyment. The schedule might seem busy, but like SXSW, half the fun is skipping from club to club to catch your favorite acts. Here’s where you should be on Thursday:
The Energy @ 29th Street Ballroom — Energetic punk band that just signed to Dirtnap Records.
Wes Coleman @ Red 7 — They call him the trashcan troubadour, I just call him a great songwriter with a dash of dirt.
The Sour Notes @ the Mohawk — One of our favorite Austin acts who continue to get better with age.
Tow the Line @ Scoot In — Former bros from Recover and the Visitors bring you some rock.
Here’s some tracks to sample: The Sour Notes, Wes Coleman, Tow the Line:
