Show Preview: Dirty Projectors @ Emos (8/2)

Leave a comment

Date Thursday, August 2nd
Location Emos
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $20 from C3

I’m sure this show probably doesn’t need much of an introduction, as it’s one of the hottest tickets around, but we thought we’d give you a friendly reminder about one of the big shows coming into town on Thursday.  If you’ve recovered from Divine Fits at Beerland, you should definitely check out Dirty Projectors, the indie art-pop act who’ve been making waves pretty much since their inception.  They come into town fresh off the recent release of Swing Lo Magellan, their latest record. And as if that wasn’t enough, you can also, and should, catch the marvelous opening duo, Wye Oak.  It’s been awhile since Civilian came out, but just hearing those songs live brings everything back to life.  We’ll definitely see you there folks!

Show Pics: Chaos in Tejas (6/3)

Leave a comment

Chased the Indie crowd over to Emo’s East on the last night of Chaos in Tejas. Dreams of a comfy photo pit were dashed, but the staff did what they could for the photographers to help us out.

Why were we there? To see the Mind Spiders, of course. Oh wait, the headliner was Best Coast. Did I care? Not so much, but I wanted to shoot them. So, why not check out an ATH favorite and take in the other “openers” Laura Stevenson and the Cans and Lemuria.

Show Preview: Spirtualized @ Emos (5/16)

Date Wednesday, May 16th
Location Emos
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $22 from C3

Jason Spaceman and Spirtualized don’t really need a huge introduction, or really a reason to convince you to see them at Emos on Wednesday.  The group’s recent release, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, has been universally heralded, and the cult status of the band is as strong as ever.  But, for those of you looking for a special something, you need to get there extra early in order to witness the songstress Nikki Lane.  Her music’s got a bit of twang to it, which is perhaps why Spiritualized have taken her out on the road.  There’s a sultry quality to her voice, and her live performance is something you’ve got to witness to understand.  Sounds like two great bands in line for one great show this Wednesday night.

Psych Fest Day Two: Photos and Thoughts

One comment

Day One was fun.

Day Two, however, was met with a splitting sinus headache and stories of crowded photo pits with iPhones and friends of the friends of the bands that got in as “Press”. Such is the festival atmosphere. It is like an insurance conference where normal human beings sometimes get a little nuts.

Regardless, we had a punch list and we were going to punch it. Head past the break for a few notes and plenty of pics.

Show Pics: OBN IIIs @ Emo’s

One comment

The original Emo’s is closing. Yes, we have mentioned it before, but it is real now. Seemed so far away when we shared our best Emo’s moments.

OBN IIIs headlined a punk show a couple nights ago. Nathan and I went to send off the Alternative Lounge in style as so many familiar faces filled the crowd. Wiccans and Video opened, but my punk-show dollars are going to OBN IIIs right now. Fun.

Head past for plenty of pics as we get nostalgic again.

Date TODAY!!!
Location Emos (Red River)
Doors 900p
Tickets $5 at Ticketfly

The next couple of weeks in Austin are heating up folks, and I think it’s about time to get yourself back in the spirit of the city; go out and check out an incredible show!  First off on my list of great upcoming shows is TONIGHT’S show over at Emos Red River, which features several great acts with Austin/Texas ties.  You’ll get OBN IIIs, and believe me when I say that their show is nothing short of pure rock n’ roll.  You’ll also get to check out a Texas super-group of sorts, Video, who just recently released their own LP.  And opening it all up is Wiccans.  My mind has this as one of the best bills of the week, and it’s only five bucks; it’s like old school Emos all over again, so get out and rock.

A band I’ve really taken a liking to this year, Mr. Gnome, are making a stop into town this evening for one of the final shows ever at Emo’s.  Providing support for the evening is The Baker Family.  I personally can’t make it to the show so I’m hoping someone can report back and let us know how it goes.

Show Pics: War on Drugs @ Emo’s

Leave a comment

We get closer to the inevitable demise of the original Emo’s. I get closer to getting through all the photos from shows this month.

This installment features War on Drugs, with Carter Tanton and Purling Hiss opening. I have a few comments and plenty of gloriously bathed in red and yellow shots to burn into your memory. Loud show, good way to end the run I was on…
