This is fine.
One of our favorite new bands, Throw me the Statue, will be showcasing their talents at Emo’s tonight with The Lovely Sparrows opening things up. Tickets for the show are only $8 and can be bought from Ticketweb. You can also preview the show by listening to the band’s new song “Ship” on our new media player or read the original post.
Tonight at Stubb’s we will be able to catch the fun instrumental music of Ratatat. Although it is often hard to review such a band (my review of LP3), they always put up ridiculously good shows. Last I checked, plenty of tickets were still available at the door.
And say, you make it out and you want to send us pictures. That could be cool.
We’ve talked about Dr. Dog so much on this site, we’re glad we finally have a show to tell you about. The boys from Philly will be playing Saturday night at The Parish in Austin for only $14. Buy your tickets to the show before they sell out or read our recent review of Dr. Dog’s latest album Fate.
If power pop ballads are more your speed, 101x will be showcasing Tokyo Police Club on the outside stage of Emo’s tonight. Tickets for this event are only $14 and can be bought from Ticketweb. Showtime is set for 10pm with an opening performance from The Whigs.

Oh man… Weird Wednesday has quite a doozy in store for you tonight. The Alamo Ritz (downtown) will be showing academy award deserving film Kidnapped Coed at midnight as part of their Weird Wednesday series. Read the Alamo’s description of this cult classic or check out the IMDB rating/description. As always, the Weird Wednesday showing is free so show up early to stake out a spot.
Tonight you will get a chance to hear Why?, and perhaps determine why there is a lot of hype about this band at the moment. Personally, I’m thinking that the opening act, Mt. Eerie, should be enough of a reason to head that way this evening. I mean how can you not like the experimental folk of Phil Elvrum? Tell me Why?
The show starts at 8 PM at the Mohawk. You can still get tickets at the door for this one. Enjoy your night.
Yes Muhoney is still around and yes they can still bring the rock! Help celebrate the 16th anniversary of Emo’s on Saturday night with a sure to be killer set by oldie but goodie Mudhoney. Doors at 9, show at 10. Buy your tickets ahead of time from Ticketweb.
