Austin Town Hall

Knuckle Rumbler are at it again this Friday with a party going down at The Independent in Austin.  This time headliners SPEAK bring the noise along with Missions, Love at 20 (former Clap Clap members), and DJ sets in between sets by DJ Markus with a K.  Of course other special goodies will be planed, which you can read about over on the KR site.  It’s just too much to fit in this tiny little space.  We’ve also got the latest single from SPEAK for you below called “Carrie (Mindfull)”.

The time for us to re-live the days of high school and college with a show by The Get Up Kids has finally come at Emo’s on Wednesday.  Openers are also pretty solid and provided by Mansions and Kevin Devine.  If you can somehow sneak between indoor and outdoor stages, Champaign, IL band Headlights are playing on the indoor stage.  We’ve always been fans of those guys so try your best to go ninja style and head inside after GUK finish their set.  Tickets for the indoor show are $10.  Also, here’s that new song GUK played on Daytrotter a while back.

ATX Converge put on a free party about this time last year and they are getting back in the game with a $5 show at Mohawk on Saturday night.  The lineup is stacked with local talent and includes Moth! Fight!, Black Cock, Cowabunga Babez, La Guerilla, White White Lights, Missions, Butcher Bear and Charlie, Capybara, and DJ Hobo D.  Should be one incredible night to sample some of the best local music Austin has to offer.
