It was a four band, all Austin line up that brought a diverse crowd to Emo’s Inside. Each band played a forty-five minute set giving the night a SxSW showcase feel. The show preview covered the when/wheres. The show post-view is that Red Falcon kicked things off, The Clouds Are Ghosts had a record release party, My Education worked out new material and The Calm Blue Sea are back. I enjoyed zoning out behind the camera, catching up with friends I hadn’t seen in a few months and hearing the latest work from all of the bands.
A few thoughts on the bands and plenty of pics after the break.

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.

Lets face it, Adam Franklin is a very busy man. Whether he’s playing with Interpol’s Fogarino in Magnetic Morning or he’s reuniting with Swervedriver, he’s got a pretty solid schedule. Somehow he found time to get with his new project Adam Franklin and Bolts of Melody, to tour the states. He’ll be joined Wednesday night by local buzzworthy bands Ringo Deathstarr and My Education. You won’t want to miss this legend!

A year ago, I was wrapped up in the work of Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. His backstory of struggle and street troubadour was enchanting, equally was his music. Finally, I had the chance to catch the young man live, and I jumped at the chance to hit up this early evening show at Emos. Read more

We won’t deny that we’ve been in love with Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson since his self-titled debut came out a few years ago, pushing it into our Top 40 Albums of 2008. Now, he is making his way to Austin in support of his newest album Summer of Fear, which is equally as stellar, if not a bit more developed sonically. You should definitely make your way out to Emos tonight to check on him. He’ll be on stage at 11PM, followed by Warpaint, and preceded by My Education.
