Top 5 Trouble In Mind Bands at Austin Psych Fest

April 29, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Yep…this week is the week. We’ve got just a few days before we spend our weekend with the folks over at Austin Psych Fest. I figured it’d be nice to do something a little different for previews this year, rather than just the traditional Top 5 Bands to See route. So today I decided I’d bring you a highlight of all the acts at the festival that are on Trouble In Mind Records, either past or present. I love the Chicago-based label, and while they definitely have a slew of psych bands, they’ve also got a reasonably diverse catalogue, all of which is pretty solid. So, check out below to see the Top 5 TIM bands at the festival. We’ll see you out there. Read more

Austin Psych Fest Interview 2014: Elephant Stone

April 25, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

One of the great things about Psych Fest, like many of our festivals in town, is that they realize that not every band can play, nor can every fan afford the shows. So, they put in some work and lined up some opening shows on the Thursday before the official festival begins. One of those acts I’ve been following for years: Elephant Stone. They’re one of the many great acts playing over at Mohawk (there’s other shows at Red 7 too!); they’ll be playing at 9:00 PM outdoors. We caught up with Rishi Dhir for a quick interview before they make their way into town. Read more

Austin Psych Fest is just a few short days away, so I reckoned we oughta ramp up our coverage. Today we caught up with Secret Colours for a quick pre-fest interview. I really love the Chicago band’s responses, and I appreciate greatly the thought drummer Justin Frederick put into his answers. The band will be playing at 5:45 on Sunday at the Reverberation Stage. Let’s get ready to enjoy ourselves at one of Austin’s best festivals.

Psych Fest 2014 Interview: Greg Ashley

April 4, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Ah yes, another festival in Austin! Actually, we’re really excited about Austin Psych Fest. It’s got a remarkable line-up, though I’m a bit bummed Primal Scream had to back out. But, as we have a month to go, we want to start offering you some insight into the bands coming our way. Our first interview is with Greg Ashley, who released Another Generation of Slaves to rave reviews, at least from our site. We caught up with him before he comes into town. Read more

The conference has been over for a hot minute or two. We still have a bit more to share with you, but let’s start with pretty pictures.

ATH Interview: Andrew Stevens

March 3, 2014 nathan.lankford One comment

Over the last year or so, I’ve had several conversations with people in town about the community aspect of the Austin music landscape. I realize, of course, this isn’t always the most important question to ask, but it’s still a great conversation to have, especially when one considers the varying opinions. I caught up with the hard-working Andrew Stevens while he was out on tour with Jess Williamson (just one of his many projects, as you’ll see below). Read on for Andrew’s insightful comments about the way he sees things working in Austin. Read more

The 2014 Austin Music Blogger Awards

February 28, 2014 brian.gray Leave a comment

It was a great event. We were proud to be a part of it.

I have a list of winners and so many photos. Orthy sounded great, buoyed by Ian and Jeramy’s win for best DJs as Learning Secrets. Shivery Shakes ripped after their win for “Sidewalk Talk”. Jess was charming and haunting as ever, congrats. A Giant Dog stole the show with their set, while Mirror Travel may have given some voters buyer’s remorse. Magna Carda is hip-hop in Austin; go see them.

ATH Interview: Love Inks

Less than a day away from the AMBAs, and we wanted to run one of our last interviews with one of the nominees for Best Album. Love Inks had an incredible year, and we loved Generation Club. We caught up with the band to talk about some of their achievements, influences and what nots. We hope to see you all out tomorrow night over at Spider House Ballroom. Read more

Just a few days away from the Austin Music Blogger Awards, and we wanted to make sure that you got a chance to meet some of the great talent that’s part of the event. Today we’ve got a short interview with Aisha Burns, who many of you may recognize as one the members of Balmorhea. But, her album, Life in the Midwater, left a lasting impression on many, including us. Here’s what she had to say. Read more
