Fool’s Gold

Leave a comment

foolsgoldNo not that terrible movie with Kate Hudson… Fool’s Gold is a brand new collective/band hailing from the big city of Los Angeles.  We call the band a collective because it started out as more of a side project of sorts and has since moved into a huge band full of artists with mixed musical influences.  You’ll find members of Foreign Born, a former We Are Scientists drummer, a member of The Fall, and tons of other talented musicians.  You can expect debut self-titled full length from the band September 29th via IAMSOUND Records.

Oxford Collapse Call It Quits

Leave a comment

oxford_collapse_2A sad day in the world of indie music news as one of our favorite bands of 2008 Oxford Collapse have decided to call it quits after over 8 years in existence.  We’ve enjoyed this band ever since we caught their show at Mohawk several months back and had the chance to interview them before their set.  You can read an official statement about the break up over on the Sub Pop blog.  Take some time today to check out the last single from Oxford Collapse called “Birthday Wars” or read our positive review of the band’s last album Bits.  Let’s hope the guys keep making music outside of this project.

hockeyHockey are a band straight out of hot music scene Portland Oregon who have been receiving a ton of positive attention recently for their unique take on indie-pop/rock.  The band is fairly new to the game so check out their most recent single “Too Fake” below if you aren’t familiar with their sound.  To help spread the word about their music, Hockey want to give away some free music to the new fans they are creating.  Two lucky fans/winners will receive their very own copy of the band’s newest LP Mind Chaos on old school vinyl.  To enter, simply leave a comment about what’s on your mind or tweet us and mention something about the contest in your tweet.  Contest will close on Tuesday of next week (6/30).

Talib Kweli @ Emo’s (6/24)

Leave a comment

500x333_12925630talib-kweli1It’s rare that the ATH gives much mention to hip-hop, but when an artist like Talib Kweli comes to town, we’ve got to get the word out.  Having seen the man in action before, I can tell you that a ticket will be well worth the cost of admission and not at all what you’d expect from the usual boring rap show.  Several openers are involved including Strong Arm Steady, Zeale, Traygod, and local Bavu Blakes hosting the thing.  Tickets are on sale now for $15 and music starts at 10pm.

jennylewisOur #5 hot lady of indie rock Jenny Lewis is making a stop in Austin Monday night with her superb backing band.  We listed Jenny as one of our favorite acts of ACL so we are of course excited about this set.  An added bonus, an ATH fave Heartless Bastards will be providing opening support and start around 8pm.  Tickets for this one run $21.50 and are available now online.

Sunset Rubdown @ Mohawk (6/20)

Leave a comment

sunsetrubdownIf you’re looking for some solid indie rock on Saturday night in Austin, head over to Mohawk for a show by Spencer Krug’s band Sunset Rubdown.  Music starts at 9pm with opening act Witchies followed by Elfin Saddle.  Tickets are relatively cheap and on sale now for $13.  Better seize the opportunity to see such a talented act in an intimate setting as you’ll probably never see Mr. Krug’s full time band Wolf Parade in such a setting.  Sunset Rubdown is touring in support of their new album Dragonslayer which is due out next week via JagJaguwar.

hollywoodWe’ve always been big fans of Austin band Hollywood Gossip so we were excited to see that they are playing a free show at Nomad Bar on Saturday night.  If you aren’t familiar with the bar, here’s a little map to help you find your way to the show.  Fellow locals Household Names and Harlovve will be kicking things off around 10pm.  Should be a good one!
