Matt Kivel Show Reminder + Stream Escape from LA

Leave a comment

Now that my children are a little bit older, trying to get back into the local game and hosting shows more often…and the ATH team is glad to back Matt Kivel‘s Release Show tonight at Community Garden. The show celebrates his new LP, Escape from LA, which is being put out by the good folks at Scissor Tail Records. We thought you’d like to hear the record, you can stream it below…and if you love it, and don’t have time to come out to the show tonight, order it HERE.

Show kicks off at 6:30 this evening, so we’ll see you there!

New Rosie Tucker Single + Austin Show

Leave a comment

This one time, I had less than 48 hours to book a show at Red 7 here in Austin during SXSW; I somehow managed to grab Deeper and Boogarins and…Rosie Tucker. Their willingness to make it work, their charming set and their continued growth as a songwriting machine has made me an avowed fan, and now we can all revel in a new tune. As I listen to this track, having spent a lot of time with their previous records, I can’t help but notice how maybe the punch gets turned down in the mix on the front half of the tune, waiting to deliver this explosive drive that drags the song to a close. And, if you’re a fan, Rosie Tucker will be out on the road for a few dates, including an Austin date on November 16th at Mohawk. New song is available courtesy of Sentimental Records.

Show Preview: Fever Ray @Emos (11.5)

Leave a comment

If ever there was an artist that one had to see, I would think that Karin Dreijer would be really high up on that list of current artists. From the work with their brother in the Knife, to the Fever Ray project, they’ve continued to push the boundaries of where performance and music intersect. Plus, after releasing the excellent Radical Romantics this past Spring, they’ve allowed/encouraged tons of folks to work on official remixes, like the latest from Frost Children, which you can hear HERE. So, a great artist/performer blows into town, offering 1 of 6 shows to Austinites? You’re going to be there, right? IF you haven’t gotten tickets, they can be had HERE.

 

Show Preview: Luna Play Two Nights @ 3 Ten ACL (11.9 & 11.10)

Leave a comment

It’s been a busy year for Dean Wareham, having released I Have Nothing to Say earlier this year. But, now it looks like he’s focusing on Luna, bringing Britta, Sean and Lee to Austin for a two night special over at 3 Ten ACL. The calendar has the band playing Bewitched in its entirety on one night, and Penthouse on the next, though having seen the band in the past, I’m sure they’ll have some bleed over for other tunes…or at least that’s what I’m hoping for! Plus, our friends in Caroline Says will be opening up the show, so we should be able to ease our way into the evening with some great opening vibes. You can grab yourself tickets HERE. Stream both albums below…and fingers crossed maybe this entices the band to write a new LP!

Check MILLY Out

Leave a comment

I was stumbling through the pages of shows for the week, trying to map out my week, and in doing so, I came across this band MILLY; I’d heard about the band from the Dangerbird Microdose series, so I just sort of dug in and really fell in love with this tune. The band play tonight at Empire Control Room here in Austin. It’s definitely got this vibe that’s on par with what I’ve been listening to the last few months; it has this intimacy, with multiple vocalists playing a role in the song. I love that, but I’m also drawn to the fact that it has this feeling like we’re all sort of fading away, disappearing into the pieces of matter, shattered by the ringing of the guitars here. It’s a cool vibe, so get on it.

Loving Share Only She Knows

Leave a comment

It looks as if I’m continuing with my Fall musical appreciation hour, following up the earlier Kevin Scoma tune with this new finger-picking slow burner from Loving. It’s the sort of fireside chat with your stereo you wish you could have throughout those cool Autumn nights, harmlessly lost on some wisp of air that finds its way to your ear. Every note is so careful, such attention given to each detail that it’s purposefulness evolves into this charmingly organic feeling. This is what you can expect from the band’s LP, out next year via Last Gang Records; they’re on tour through North America (Austin show at Hotel Vegas on 10/11) as we speak, with UK/EU dates throughout November.

Sungaze Share New Familiar Video

Leave a comment

You ever hear a song and immediately you swoon, wondering where they’ve been all your life? Okay, so perhaps that’s a touch too hyperbolic, but I felt right at home the moment I pressed play on this new video from Cincinnati’s Sungaze. While there’s this natural softness to it, almost as if it’s lulling you to sleep, a beautiful emotion sort of pervades the entirety of the tune, aided by the way the video was shot; it’s that ringing guitar line lurking beneath the haze that really drives it home for me. The band will release their debut LP, Light in All of It on July 19th…and include some Texas dates, including one here in Austin with our friends She Sir on 6/16 (who also recently released a new EP–shameless plug).

AllEYES Share New Track + Barracuda Show This Friday (2/1)

Leave a comment

This Friday night, there’s a powerhouse of a bill we’ll gladly throw our support behind; a bill that features Chill Russell, Slomo Drags, Fanclub and allEYES. We’ve enjoyed all these acts for some time, and look forward to hearing more from allEYES…an act that features members of the Sword, Octopus Project and Freshmillions. They’ve even been so gracious to share with us one of their newer tracks, which you’re likely to hear on this particular evening; I still stand by my comment that you’re not likely to hear anything like this bunch in the city limits. Show kicks off at 9 PM at Barracuda, but you can find more info on the FB EVENT.

Tim Rutili of Califone Plays Beerland Saturday Night

Leave a comment

Former Red Red Meat and current Califone songwriter Tim Rutili has been at it for forever. But, currently, he’s focused on his project with his Austin friend, Craig Ross; the two released Guitars Tuned to Air Conditioners back in 2016 and 10 Seconds to Collapse this last month. If you were to listen to the lead single, you’d probably recall Yankee Hotel Foxtrot era Wilco…when they were still dabbling with experimenting over folk structures. The duo will be playing Saturday night at Beerland, joined on stage by friends Lindsey Verrill and Thor Harris; Moist Flesh and Knife in the Water will also be playing. Stream the song below and you’ll know immediately why you need to be there! More info on the show/tickets HERE.

 

Katie Von Schleicher at Barracuda Tonight

Leave a comment

It’s rare that you find a great Monday evening show, but tonight we have just such an event with Katie von Schleicher playing at Barracuda tonight. If you read these pages, you’ve likely heard me rave about Bleaksploitation and Shitty Hits…and even a quick write up on her latest single Glad to Be Here. She waltzes into town tonight with deserved buzz, and several albums worth of powerful songs that put her on par with the Angel Olsens and Cate Le Bons of the my world. Plus, she’s joined by our friend Jana Horn as the opening act, which means you have to show up super early to catch what we can only assume will be another striking performance by Jana. Doors open at Barracuda at 8 PM.
