This is fine.
So last year during ACL we worked our tails off trying to bring you guys the best interviews, spotlights, battles and all kinds of crazy lists. We may still be a month out from the festival date but we thought it would be an appropriate time to start our spotlight feature on various ACL artists that we like. Our first spotlight goes to The Dodos and is taken on by our newest addition to ATH, mwiliamrice. So follow the jump for our first ACL feature on The Dodos.

We really dig that new Fruit Bats record so we are of course excited for their stop in town Wednesday night at Mohawk. Fellow Sub Pop and ATH fave Death Vessel will provide main support with locals The Low Lows starting things off. Best show of the week? Damn this song is really good…

Many of you might have got caught in the rain this past Thursday evening, but Mother Nature decided to take a breather by the time Vicious, L.A.X., and Canadian DJ duo Thunderheist hit the stage. We all know that Emo’s (outdoors) can often feel like a sweltering sauna, but the humidity didn’t stop concertgoers from making good use of their dancing shoes. Luckily, there was room to breathe so you never felt overcome with claustrophobia as you milled around the venue avoiding puddles. Follow the jump to hear our thoughts.

As the new album In and Out of Control by The Raveonettes draws closer to its October 6th release date, more and more tracks begin to hit the Internet. “Last Dance,” hitting today is surely one of the highlights for what is shaping up to be a great album. I’ll admit, I’ve been a half-hearted fan for awhile, but after hearing the clever-pop goodness here, reminiscent of a female fronted Pains of Being Pure at Heart, I’m sincerely stoked.

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.
