Bayonne Releases Drastic Measures

February 22, 2019 brian.gray Leave a comment

Last Friday, we celebrated this record with friends at Mohawk with Bayonne performing the songs live for the first time. Today, we celebrate the record’s release. Drastic Measures is an evolved sound, at times up front and varied, I especially like the clean piano start of this track and following ballad evolution interrupting by a swell of percussive synth and loops.

Since I mentioned it, how about we spend a second talking about the show and I share some photos. Just click that read more below or keep scrolling.

Austin City Limits Music Festival 2018

October 26, 2018 brian.gray Leave a comment

It was a solid year for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. It was one of the best overall lineups in years. Better weather would have been nice, but what can you do about the weather (besides carbon offsets, public transportation, solar, efficiency audits, etc).

ACL 2018 in Photos: WE2 Sunday

Sunday was the chill day for ATH for ACL WE2. I wasn’t approved by St. Vincent or Arctic Monkeys. Day six was even steamier than I would like to remember. Consider the wall hit, but it by will alone I set my mind in motion….and Janelle Monae’s extraordinary presence.

Friday was Alvvays going to be Nathan’s favorite day, even if he was never a Beatles fan.

Saturday did give us a treat in the form of Durand Jones and the Indications. There were a few other lovely highlights for the fam.

ATH & ACL 2018: A Weekend One Recap

October 10, 2018 RayRay Leave a comment

As you likely know, many of your faithful ATH crew members ventured out this weekend to take part in this thing called Austin City Limits Festival. Have you heard of it? It’s kind of a big deal. As always, the festival was run smooth like a baby’s bottom and a good time was had by all. Part of what we do to earn our keep is to offer opinions on the music side of things and overall thoughts/concerns from the weekend. Each member of the team who attended this weekend will share their own opinions.

Show Review: Beach House @ACL Live (7/31)

August 1, 2018 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Beach House have come a long long way since the first time I caught them at old Emos back in the day…but even then, they were onto something. That all culminated in a sold out show at ACL Live, which was a pretty near perfect venue for the band.

Show Review: Belle and Sebastian @ ACL Live (6/16)

I’m never one to shy away from a Belle and Sebastian set, and thankful we were able to enjoy a night at the always beautiful ACL Live. Plus, it also gave us a time to preview the much-hyped Men I Trust. Check below for more words and photos.

May 14, 2018 brian.gray Leave a comment

Hey everyone. I went to hang out with the friends and family, dogs and mascots on Saturday at the Texas Record Label Bazaar.

We said goodbye to the last few Summer Salt EP’s, said hello to a number of new labels from outside Austin and ate some pizza and drank some beer. There were a ton of great finds lurking, from punk thrash to banjo ballads to new age intrumentals. I loved the diversity and number of familiar names on the tables.

So sit back and see some funny, candid and touching moments from the event.

Show Pics: Feverbone Release Party @ Sidewinder (5/3)

May 8, 2018 brian.gray Leave a comment

ATH Records is really proud of this collections jams.

Feverbones just released their latest, DREAM TALK. If I were to classify this record, it would be indie pop for music nerds, but aren’t we all. There are minor chords and challenging progressions that can only really be afforded by really strong musicians. Add to that thoughtful lyrics and great harmonies, you have a recipe for one of your favorite records.

There were two lucky bands that joined on stage in Toma and Palm Daze. In the crowd, I saw members of several local bands. We had a close-knit group of local legends, venue heroes, overlapping voices and lovely friends.

Click through to join in the fun.
