Austin Town Hall

The good people at Reverberation Appreciation Society aren’t solely responsible for putting on the Austin Psych Fest; they’re also in the business of putting out great tunes, such as their upcoming 7″ with Cosmonauts that features a track I’m really digging right now. It’s got this fuxxy guitar that chimes in and out throughout the whole song, but the pacing of the track really allows you to get yourself lost in the tune, particularly the way the lyrics are delivered.  There’s four tracks on this 7″, and I promise you that they’re all equally as good as the one you’re jamming to right now!

Day One at Psych Fest was pretty laid back, and I’m sort of grateful that the crowds haven’t completely caught on to this unique festival; you have to go though because the people watching alone is worth the price!  This was my first time to both venues, and I was rather impressed with both the sound and the set-up, so that bodes well for both venues as Austin’s musical landscape moves into the future.

Past the break, Brian and I will share some insight into bands that played and plenty of images from Day One…
