Austin Town Hall

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!

So maybe The Secret Machines have fallen a bit on hard times with the critics, but does that mean they can’t bring the house down with a live show anymore?  I think not.  Head over to Emo’s on Wednesday night for one of these face melting shows from this once time Dallas based band.  Openers will be Ringo Deathstarr and Imaad Wasif.

San Francisco band Sleepy Sun have made their way to Austin and are getting down at Mohawk on Tuesday night.  Opening support will be provided by Headdress, The Delta Mirrors, and our fellow local rockers Ringo Deathstarr. Should be a fun way to start your week off right.

If you’re ready for a night of face melting rock for cheap, head over to Beauty Bar for a set by local boys Scorpion Child.  The shows kicks off around 10pm and will run you $5 at the door.  Fellow local rockers Ringo Deathstarr and Spain Colored Orange will be providing your opening entertainment.

The time has come to throw on your tap shoes and join the ladies of Tilly and the Wall (there are two men too) at Emos this Thursday night. Their folk-pop tap dancing troupe is sure to brighten your evening, or at least give you an excuse to get out of the house for a little bit. And, you’ll be able to catch up with Austinites Belaire and Ringo Deathstarr for this exciting evening of music. 

You can check out our recent review of their latest album O to see what we think and sample some tunes.
