This is fine.
It’s cold. Tokyo Police Club took on filling La Zone Rosa on a Wednesday night, temperatures in the teens. I knew it was worth the trip out when a friend asked of his Facebook status, “Hearing the sounds from across the street, should I have gone to see Tokyo Police Club?” Yep. Follow the jump for more.
The ATH crew stopped by Emo’s on Saturday night for a show by one of our favorite old school bands The Get Up Kids. Of course the guys incorporated several of their new tunes while still incorporating a lot of our old favorites from back in the day. When the encore goes a little something like “Holiday”, “Don’t Hate Me”, “I’ll Catch You”, and “10 Minutes”, you gotta know we enjoyed our time at the show. After the jump you can check out some photos of GUK and opener River City Extension by Brian Gray.
At first, I was looking forward to an outdoor show at Mohawk in January. Then the forecast kept getting colder and colder. I wasn’t worried as being near the stage for pics meant carry over heat from the pit. Instead, promoters moved the show to Red7. The openers had issues, the speakers were giving up, but No Age killed. Follow the jump for more.
What was supposed to be a small gig on a Wednesday night at Emo’s Inside sold enough tickets to warrant a move outside. Tame Impala with Stardeath and White Dwarfs and Kuroma was going to be out in the cold. I, for one, was happy with the move thinking the show wouldn’t be terribly crowded, but I was wrong. Quite a draw. Read on for more…
Decided to hit the Mohawk on a Saturday night that is closing out a busy week of music around town. Austin bands Tiger Named Lovesick and Oh No! Oh My! opened for Cincinnati’s Pomegranates. Read on to get a brief show review and peep some pics…
The rain stayed just east of the downtown, lightning flashing in the cloud line. Everyone was a little nervous about the weather. In fact, security joked that the show was cancelled. Maybe just kidding, but with lightning in the area, I would guess Stubb’s would have to shut down. Good thing the show went on, it was well worth the price of admission and brief delay. On to the review after the jump.’
Not sure what to expect here. Could Interpol be dynamic? They carry such a tight, polished sound. How would the gravel grounds take to their live performance? Follow the jump for more.
The Parish played host to Film School’s fifth stop on their tour in support of the album Fission. Austin’s TV Torso and Monahans were brought in to open. I was looking forward to this line up as a good match to the excellent sound and lighting at this venue. Follow the jump for more and fancy photos.
