This is fine.
Snoop Doggy Dooooooooooog… The Dog. That’s right, Snoop D-O-double G is playing a show at Stubbs on Tuesday night. I hope you’re ready to shell out some cash though because this thing will cost ya $45 a pop. Stephen Marley is providing opening support. Show starts at 8pm, but I think we all know it won’t really start on time.

Let’s face it, we all need a little hard rock in our lives from time to time, and no one is going to do a better job than The Bronx. Whether it be their high fueled live show or just the ballsy rock you dig, you’ll want to find yourself at this show on Saturday evening. The evening’s set will take place at Red Seven and the doors are set to open at 8 PM. Be sure to get plenty of fluids and rest, as you’ll need it for this show.

Men is two parts Le Tigre, and they will be making their way to Austin this Wednesday night at the Beauty Bar. It seems that the group is predominantly the work of JD Samson, but there are other contributions from her former band-mates. Men will be hitting the stage with Gretchen Phillips. Sounds like a danceable way to spend your hump day.

Sunday night wrapped up a rather moderate week of live music in Austin, but let’s not forget that we’ve had a pretty awesome summer of live music. Fortunately for us at ATH, we were able to catch Foreign Born, The Veils and Other Girls at The Mohawk on Sunday night, just after we did our best to pretend to be entertained by the Anarchy Wrestling Tour outside of the Mohawk. You can’t argue with $1 Pabst or good tunes. Follow the jump for our take on the show and a few snapshots.
Creators of one of our jams of summer, Foreign Born, are playing at Mohawk on Sunday evening. To make the show more enticing, The Veils and The Other Girls will be opening things up. For only $10 this should be a great way to close down your weekend. Doors are at 8pm.

The Black and White Years have slowly started to make a name for themselves as one of the biggest draws in our town. Chances to see them in smaller venues in Austin may be hard to come by soon so head to the indoor stage at Stubbs Saturday night for a set by the rock n roll outfit. We’re more excited for the show because our good friends Whitman will be providing the opening support for the evening and start around 10pm. Tickets can be had now for $8 or $10 at the door. Here’s that catchy single by B&WY, “Power to Change”.

We are big fans of VEGA and we are also big fans of cheap shows at Club Deville on Friday nights. Fellow locals Neiliyo and Joshua Distance will also be on hand to play for the show. Entrance is only $5 if you RSVP at Turn 2 Live or $10 if you don’t. Should be a fun one.
