Dallas Green, otherwise known as City & Colour, is playing an intimate show at Central Presbyterian Church on Thursday night. To make the show more enticing, our new favorite singer Lissie will be providing opening support around 8pm. We’re probably more excited about that lovely lady and her music so we’ll drop one of her songs below. I suggest trying a scalper since the show is sold out.

Lets face it, Adam Franklin is a very busy man. Whether he’s playing with Interpol’s Fogarino in Magnetic Morning or he’s reuniting with Swervedriver, he’s got a pretty solid schedule. Somehow he found time to get with his new project Adam Franklin and Bolts of Melody, to tour the states. He’ll be joined Wednesday night by local buzzworthy bands Ringo Deathstarr and My Education. You won’t want to miss this legend!

British singer, and now Austin resident, Nic Amrstrong will be starting his month long residency at new Austin venue The Ghost Room. This will give you a great chance to check out one of the great voices in Austin, as well as getting a glimpse/feel of the new venue, which is said to offer a $5 Pearl Beer and Jack Daniels shot special. For those of you unfamiliar with Nic, here’s a sample of his music to encourage you to make it out.

We’re happy to announce today a little party we’re helping put on next weekend at the up and coming music venue Ghost Room. This little shindig is hosted by Above the Radar PR and Do512 along with support from yours truly and End of an Ear Records. The lineup features 3 solid local bands going by the names of Monahans, Sad Accordions and Frank Smith. To make the event even that much more special, we will all be there to celebrate the birth year of our dear friend Michael over at Sonic Itch. Word on the street has it that he is old as dirt so expect him to turn to dust at the stroke of midnight. Should be good times had by all. We’ll make sure to plug this party again a few days before the January 16th date next week. Show time? 9pm ladies.
