Date	4/27/13
Location	Emo’s East
Doors	9pm
Tickets	SOLD OUT!

It’s Psych Fest weekend in Austin, but that doesn’t mean that other show options aren’t in abundance for those of you who missed the boat on festival tickets. For this guy, the best “other” show in town would have to be Foals playing to a sold out crowd at Emo’s on Riverside. On top of the great headliner, the undercard is also stacked with ATH favorite Surfer Blood in direct support with Blondfire opening for all. See you there?

Show Review: Youth Lagoon @ Mohawk (4.24)

April 25, 2013 nathan.lankford One comment

For some of us, catching Youth Lagoon on this tour would be the first time we caught the group with a full line-up, as the last time I caught Trevor Powers he was working the stage on his own. Such a change was likely to mix the sound up. We arrived early to catch the recent signing to Matador Records, Magical Cloudz.

Read on for my thoughts and photos from the excellent Brian Gray.

It seems like almost a no-brainer that the Youth Lagoon show will be the event of the week (excluding the Grape St. record release afterwards). Trevor Powers and his project have garnered a huge following, and with the release of Wondrous Bughouse, appreciation for the band has grown. I’m excited that he’s been bringing a band along with him, which should flesh out the sound quite a bit. But, do yourself a favor and don’t skip out on the opener Magical Cloudz, a recent signing to Matador Records. We wrote about Devon Welsh’s new project, and it’s powerful vocal appeal. We’re all going to have a blast, so come join us…then tag along to Hotel Vegas for a nice little record release party.

Show Review: Cave Singers @ Red 7 (4/20)

April 22, 2013 RayRay Leave a comment

The weather was beautiful in Austin on Saturday night and the setting was perfect for a much anticipated show by Seattle’s own Cave Singers. Though the crowd may have been a bit thin due to so many shows going on around town, it seemed like everyone in attendance agreed that the band killed it. Follow the jump for a few quick thoughts.

Show Review: Crystal Castles (Sea of Phones) @ Music Hall (4/21)

April 22, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Let’s just call Sunday what it was: a horrific sea of phones. It’s clear to me now that Crystal Castles have blossomed into a deserving huge act, which unfortunately brings with it its own set of problems. We showed up early to catch Canadians Doldrums do their thing.

You can read on for my thoughts, and pics of Doldrums from our boy Brian Gray. Read more

Grape St. LP Release Party @ Hotel Vegas (4.24)

April 22, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

So your plans are to hit up Youth Lagoon, but you can’t stop there. Once the rock n’ roll gets started, you’ve got to keep it going. The best place to head on Wednesday night is over to Hotel Vegas for the Grape St. LP release; this is the band featuring Curtis from Harlem…seriously one of my favorite records of the last year. Of course, you can buy it HERE if you’re not in Austin. Just because we’re putting out the record, doesn’t mean you can miss a single of the opening acts; they’re some of our favorite, and the best, rock acts in town. You’ve got Pharaohs kicking things off, with John Wesley Coleman and Rayon Beach warming up the crowd for all you folks. There will be balloons, A Date With You LPs, and just a ton of incredible bands. It’s dirt cheap, so help support the local scene and come join us for this celebration.

Show Preview: Crystal Castles @ Austin Music Hall (4.21)

Tickets	$30 from Frontgate

I’ve been really excited about this show since its announcement. Not only have I really appreciated the growth of Crystal Castles that was is illustrated by their latest, III, but their live show at ACL was definitely in my personal favorites this year. They blend noise, electronica, fog and lights; it’s simply compelling. Opening up the night is Doldrums, who aren’t too shabby either. We’ve been fortunate enough to catch them opening for several acts over the last year or so, and I can assure you that it’s worth your time to show up early. It might be pricy, but you’re going to get your money’s worth!

April 18, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

After running all over town during SXSW, Beach Fossils made it back to Austin for a much anticipated set over at Red 7.

They were supported by a couple of great Austin bands, which hopefully garnered those acts some more love from the Austin crowd.

Show Preview: The People’s Temple

April 18, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Date	Friday, April 19th
Location	Mohawk
Doors	9:00 PM
Tickets	$9 @ the Door

Seems like there is a worthy show every night here in Austin, and while I know tons of bands are playing, I’m hanging my hat on The People’s Temple show over at Mohawk Friday night. This last year saw the release of their More for the Masses, which added to their already established pyschedelic blend of rock n’ roll. I caught them at the SXSW, and thoroughly enjoyed their act, so much so that I’ll gladly see them again Friday evening. Plus, you’ll get to throw your support behind two great local Austin acts in Mirror Travel and La Migra. Seems like a rad way to spend a weekend night if you ask me.

Saturday night is a great night for shows in Austin and it seems like you’ve got tons of options with all types of genres represented. Yes even the ATH crew will be split up all over town, but this guy will be heading over to Red 7 for a show by long time favorite of mine Cave Singers. Providing worthy support in an opening bid you’ll get Bleeding Rainbow. Maybe we’ll see each other there?
