Well ladies and gents, ATH is very happy to announce a little show we sort of helped put together with our amigo over at Above The Radar PR (he did most the work). So what we have in store is a great lineup up of some of our favorite local bands playing at one of the best new venues in town Holy Mountain. Check out who is on the lineup below and follow some links to check out their music.
Featherface – Our Houston band playing opener. Check out their music video for song “I Saw you Dancing” over on their website.
Grape St. – One of our favorite local bands and soon to be the next ATH Records artist. Here’s a link a song by the band on our site. Free downloads rule!
Residual Kid – Austin’s youngest and most promising rock band. These kids are going to be rocking Austin for a long time. They’ve got a sweet video for “Friend” over on youtube.
Calm Blue Sea – We’ve been supporting this band since our website started over 5 years ago. They rule the local scene and you need to see them live. We’re streaming one of their older songs “We Happy Few” below.
To make this more enticing, the show is only $6 so it’s perfect for you cheap asses.

It’s that time of year folks, when we here at Austin Town Hall try to convince you that we know what’s what in the world of music. We’re starting things off with our list of Top Ten Austin Albums of 2012. We purposefully left out EPs, just focusing on the Album as a whole, since that’s our favorite form of media. Before you read this, please know that this is just the expressed OPINION of ours, and you’re definitely cool to disagree. Let us know your thoughts, and make sure your favorite Austin bands send us their hits in 2013!

Looking for plans Friday night? Well we’ve got a great show going down at Emo’s that night with some great talent from our little city. The night features ATH favorites from Austin The Calm Blue Sea, My Education, The Clouds Are Ghosts, and Red Falcon. Every band on the lineup is one that we’ve talked about at some point or another and possibly even given an Artist to Watch tag. We’re glad to be a part of such a great show on a night that shouldn’t see anyone making excuses not to be there.

Local ATH favorites The Calm Blue Sea are headlining a show at the Mohawk tomorrow night. The show is all local and also features great Austin talents The White White Lights, The Couch and Watch Out For Rockets. A better lineup with some of Austin’s best up and coming talent can’t be found on one bill. Do it.

Not too long ago, we shared some info about Austin band La Snacks and their upcoming new 7″ vinyl single. Well the boys have reached the physical release date of their new material and plan to celebrate with a show at Hole in the Wall on Thursday night. The lineup continues to build with solid locals Zoltars, The Gary, and The Calm Blue Sea. I can’t imagine a better lineup of up and coming Austin bands. Oh and the whole thing is a measly $3 so you better be there.
