Austin band Sunset have a new LP coming our way later this month and they’ve offered up three MP3s as a preview of this new material.  We’ve got one for you below called “Gold Dissolves to Gray” which will appear on an album with the same name due out Nov. 24th on Autobus Records.  This new tune has a nice jangly and slightly country-ish vibe that we really dig.  You can also check out two more songs on the band’s website.  Thanks to our amigos Ultra8201 for the heads up.

One of our favorite local bands Sunset has a show planned for Thursday night at Baby Blue Studios.  Fellow locals Silent Land Time Machine and recent Brooklyn re-locator City Center will also be involved in the night’s events.  If you’re looking for good music on a Thursday, this is by far the best option you’ve got.

Austin veterans Sunset are getting down at Emo’s on Tuesday and we think you should make it out to support your local music scene.  Fellow local and solid bands The Sour Notes and Wild Moccasins will join the band on the stage for what should be a fun night of Austin music.  Doors open up at 9pm and door charge is only $5.

Great Nostalgic is a band we’ve been following closely since we first discovered them so we were of course excited to hear about their CD release party at Hole in the Wall on Friday.  Joining in the party fun will be fellow locals Sunset and The Sour Notes.  The show should be a unique and new twist on your usual Great Nostalgic set because the band has invited the horn section from Hard Proof Afrobeat to play on a few songs.  Show starts at 10pm with door charge being $3.  The band will also be selling copies of their debut LP for $8 which includes a  bonus disc of remixes done by local DJs.  Here’s one of those new remixes available exclusively on ATH done by local DJ Business Man.
