Date	Monday, January 30th
Location	Mohawk
Doors	800 pm
Tickets	$10 from the Door

As the music season starts to head into full-steam here at the end of January, the Mohawk has a nice little show to offer you this Monday evening: A Lull. The constructionist pop outfit is bring their excellent effort, Confetti, to the live setting for all of you to enjoy, and I promise you that the band’s got a great deal to give in the live setting. It’s similar to the work Animal Collective has done, just a lot less spastic, and a touch more sentimental. Opening the show will be Deleted Scenes and Tape Deck Mountain, so get there early to enjoy all the musical tastiness.

Alison Mosshart gets a lot of credit for her prowess as a front woman, both for The Kills and Dead Weather. We had to see for ourself how her new album was going to play out, plus we got to see our favorites Jeff the Brotherhood in the process.

Read on for pics and gossip.

Show Preview: The Kills @ Stubbs

January 23, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Date	Wednesday, Jan 25th
Location	Stubbs
Doors	700 pm
Tickets	$23 from Frontgate

One of the more enduring and endearing rock acts of the last several years is the Kills, having put out album after album of sludgy guitar rock with the always fierce Alison Mosshart fronting the group. They’re loud, they’re bratty, and they, dare I say, always “kill” it live. But, for me, the more intriguing opening act of Jeff the Brotherhood is what’s going to bring me to throw my dollars away. Last year’s We Are the Champions filled my ears with hit after hit of sharp-edged jams and hooks galore. And, they won’t be the only opener, as Hunter is set to kick the whole night off. If you’re looking for an actual rock show featuring pure on rock n’ roll, then meet me at Stubbs on Wednesday night.

Show Review: Tiger Waves @ Frank (1/19)

January 21, 2012 nathan.lankford 3 comments

Over here at ATH we’ve been raving about Tiger Waves for some time, but we hadn’t seen the young band in the live setting just yet. So, we jumped at the chance to catch the boys over at Frank, along with a few other local Austin acts, Milk Thistle and Gentleman Rogues.

Read on for our thoughts.

Location	The Parish
Doors	8pm
Tickets	$22 @ Frontgate

Great singer songwriter type show going down at The Parish on Saturday night featuring ATH favorite Mason Jennings and songwriter Jillian Edwards. As always, Saturday night in Austin has plenty of shows to choose from, but this one should definitely be on your radar if it isn’t already.

There are clearly some great bands playing at Frank on Thursday night, such as Gentleman Rogues and Milk Thistle, but the band I’m most excited to see is Tiger Waves. I’ve raved about them here for the past couple of months, and they’ve been generous enough to share some of their tunes with us; however, I’ve yet to actually catch them in the live setting. They’ve got this old fashioined pop sound, seemingly crafted with great care, and if they can capture every bit of their recorded sound live, then I’ll probably return to rave about them again on Friday. I know there are other shows about town, but this seems like the best place to be Thursday.

Date	1/19/12
Location	Antones
Doors	7pm
Tickets	Sold Out!

Superb show going down on Thursday night at the legendary Antone’s downtown. Headliners Mountain Goats should be enough to get you there, but openers Nurses should convince you to get there early. I’m sure you could find some discount tickets on craigslist or via a scalpar as the show is sold out.

Show Review: Starfucker @ The Mohawk (1/14)

January 17, 2012 brian.gray One comment

I like outside shows when it is cold.

Starfucker headlined The Mohawk last Saturday. Alexico and Painted Palms opened the sold out show (honestly a bit surprised) that was made warm with merriment and spirits, or whatever else. Starfucker pulls a weird blend of show-goers including some old people (mainly me). It was a young crowd, it was a good crowd.

Head past the break for pics and show notes…

Show Pics: Cass McCombs @ Stubb’s (1/14)

January 15, 2012 brian.gray Leave a comment

Cass McCombs came to town to play an intimate set at Stubb’s indoor stage. The crowd on hand was tightly packed into the cave beneath the restaurant, enthusiastic and respectful. The quiet moments were quiet allowing Cass and the band to fill the space.

Helping to create that atmosphere was the spellbinding opening set from Frank FairField.. Just a stool, guitar, violin or banjo, toe-taps to set the rhythm and single mic in front to pick it all up. Pin drop quiet allowing the traditional blues/folk sound to resonate. The crowd would burst with approval between songs.

Wish I could have spent more time, but split show duties did not allow. Head after the jump for pics…

Show Review: Balmorhea @ The Parish (1/13)

January 14, 2012 jon.wagner One comment

On a chilly and regrettably less than spooky ‘Friday the13th’ evening, the Parish and Western Vinyl hosted a sold out event of emerging and established local talent.The audience was full with family and friends, young and old, who were treated to a sonic experience of the highest order and the way in which Balmorhea, in particular, presented their craft might have caught a few of them off guard. Follow the jump for the full review. Read more
