February 1, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	2/2/11
Location	La Zona Rosa
Doors	7pm
Tickets	$17 @ Frontgate

Anyone looking for a solid lineup of bands on Wednesday night should head over to La Zona Rosa for a headlining set by Tokyo Police Club with Someone Still Loves you Boris Yeltsin providing support. Making the night even better, opening for both bands is Austin’s very own TV Torso. Not bad, not bad at all.

New Track from Vivian Girls

February 1, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Haven’t had enough girl-group fun yet this year? Well, Vivian Girls aim to bring it back, but this time they definitely seem to have a bit of variation on their sound. “I Heard You Say” sounds much cleaner, which really lets the melody break through, rather than being muddied by a bit too much distortion. And the chorus (breakdown?) has one of the best hooks I’ve heard from these girls, even if it only spans about 12 seconds of the track. You can find this track, as well as nine other new tunes on the new record, Share the Joy, which will be coming out on April 12th via the band’s new label Polyvinyl Records. Dig it folks.

Show Review: Sigur Ros @ Bass Concert Hall (10.04.24)

October 7, 2024 jon.wagner Leave a comment

On a balmy October Friday night, opposite the insanity of the first night of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, something of another story altogether was brewing across town at the 40 acres. After skipping our fair city the last time around during this orchestral iteration, the Icelandic trio, Sigur Ros returned triumphantly to the University of Texas campus. The

Track by Track: Nighshift’s Homosapien

Trying out something new, as I’ve got about a week and a half before I get back to maybe reviewing some albums, like Nightshift‘s Homosapien. The record is out today via the generous folks at Trouble in Mind Records. Instead of doing some long form review, I’m going go after the track by track breakdown format. It’s also a reminder

Book Review: Depeche Mode’s 101 by Mary Valle

June 21, 2024 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

When digging into the vast catalog of books from the 33 and 1/3 series (Bloomsbury), you get all sorts of approaches to the discussion of an album. You’ll find the biographical, the narrative, the political, a “Behind the Scenes,” and even the autobiographical from time to time. When Mary Valle takes on Depeche Mode’s 101, she sort of skips around

The Donnas + Real Gone Music

April 21, 2024 RayRay Leave a comment

As many of you maybe waited in ridiculously long lines on Saturday for your Record Store Day gems and must haves, I thought it might be an appropriate time to focus on one of my favorite reissue focused labels who won’t gouge or pander to resellers. Of course I’m talking about the Orange, California based label Real Gone Music who
