We caught up with our good friends Colourmusic, who opened for Colour Revolt. Texans Dignan kicked off the night, Colourmusic brought the noise, and Colour Revolt left everyone happy.
And when we say Colourmusic brought the noise, we mean it. Colourmusic was about as loud as we can remember anyone ever being at Emo’s, and that is saying a lot. Earplugs were complaining to the management. It was awesome.

As if your weekend didn’t have enough choices, let’s go on and add a sweet show at Emo’s going down Saturday night featuring indie rock stars Cymbals Eat Guitars. Also make sure that you are on time for the openers Hooray For Earth and ATH fave locals Milk Thistle. Should be a solid option for musical plans on a Saturday night.

It is a very busy weekend for shows in Austin ladies gentlemen, very busy indeed. Prior to the official start of the weekend, you have some tough choices to make on Thursday night and the show at Emo’s headlined by Colour Revolt should definitely be on your radar. We are of course more excited for our boyfriends in the supporting band Colourmusic. I hear those guys know how to rock and stuff. Opening support on the night is provided by Dignan.

This year I seem to be in the mood to really rock, or at least to mildly rock, in so much as I just can’t go full-on metal. That being said, one of the band’s I’ve really enjoyed is NY’s The Men (not to be confused with the Le Tigre side-project). They’ll be bringing their bit of raucous noise our way in support of their latest album Leave Home, which came out earlier this year on Sacred Bones. Also, another excellent band on the bill is Grave Babies, who have just put out a nice little 7″ by our dear friends over at Hardly Art. As the season begins to really pick up steam for rock n’ roll, this is just as good a place as any to get your rocks on.

Some of us ATH kids need a little help when it comes to the electronic music world, so we’re glad that was have BGray and Wagner around to tell us what’s up. Apparently the show Tuesday at Emo’s featuring Dntel is the place to be for fans of DJ tunes and electronic pop. Supporting Dntel are ATH SXSW show alumni One AM Radio and Geotic also on the bill. We’ll let you know how it goes kids.

It was a four band, all Austin line up that brought a diverse crowd to Emo’s Inside. Each band played a forty-five minute set giving the night a SxSW showcase feel. The show preview covered the when/wheres. The show post-view is that Red Falcon kicked things off, The Clouds Are Ghosts had a record release party, My Education worked out new material and The Calm Blue Sea are back. I enjoyed zoning out behind the camera, catching up with friends I hadn’t seen in a few months and hearing the latest work from all of the bands.
A few thoughts on the bands and plenty of pics after the break.

Looking for plans Friday night? Well we’ve got a great show going down at Emo’s that night with some great talent from our little city. The night features ATH favorites from Austin The Calm Blue Sea, My Education, The Clouds Are Ghosts, and Red Falcon. Every band on the lineup is one that we’ve talked about at some point or another and possibly even given an Artist to Watch tag. We’re glad to be a part of such a great show on a night that shouldn’t see anyone making excuses not to be there.

Spencer Krug brought his current project to town to play an inside show at Emo’s on a Tuesday night. Moonface can be familiar and foreign to Wolf parade fans. It borders on percussive Electronica at times, smooth keyboard driven poppiness at others. In all, a group of ardent Krugophiles enjoyed themselves. They were even treated to a Moonface’d version of a Swan Lake song to close things out.
Pics and a few more comments about Moonface and the openers, White Dress and Flow Child, after the break.

Everyone’s been raving about the Copenhagen group from the get-go. P4k loved them, as did pretty much everyone else around the globe, and there’s nothing wrong with that. As the summer heat continues to cover us in sweat, this show could be one of mass relief, allowing us to let go with all the energy we have. It could be dangerous, it could be beautiful, and regardless, it’s going to be incredible. You’re not going to want to miss out on this show. You can also catch The Creamers, Women in Prison, and Deskonocidos before Ice Age, so make your get there, and let’s let loose with a fury together.
