Date Saturday, Feb 19th
Location Emos
Doors 900p
Tickets $15 from Ticketweb

You want a chance to get a little bit of a history lesson to go along with your good rock tunes? Well, then you definitely need to show up at Emos this Saturday night, especially since Lou Barlow will be playing with his band Sebadoh!  You might recognize Lou from a little known act, Dinosaur Jr., but he’s done a great bit of solo work, not to mention his work with Sebadoh.  Then, throw the always entertaining Quasi, and you’ve got a pretty solid show that no one seems to be talking about.  And to top it all off, you get to see local opener TV Torso, who continue to write great songs to go along with their strong live sets.  Seems like you know the place to be this Saturday.

Sad news comes along with this show post as we not only announce the Murdocks show on Thursday night at Emo’s but also that this will be the last show from the band for quite awhile.  Yep, the guys are planning to take an extended hiatus for an unknown length of time.  That should give you even more reason to make it out and see this highly underrated live band in the Austin scene.  Support for the night is provided by The Antic Romantics, The Paper Shapes, and Shazz!.  Just do it already.

So your Valentines Day might be kind of a bummer, but if you can hold out until Tuesday, we’ve got something that’s just going to blow you away, forcing you smile. That’s right, a man in a bunny mask!  Emos is hosting the return of Nobunny, touring in support of his recent release, First Blood.  You’re guaranteed to get drenched in sweat, pogo about, and leave feeling great about yourself after the set.  And, you can get a glimpse of some of the great rocking bands from Austin, as opening acts Hex Dispensers and Simple Circuit are two bands that really deserve a whole lot more love than they seem to have gotten here in town.  So go out, support your local bands, and just have an all-around good time.  Oh, and if you have an extra bunny mask, you might want to offer it up, as Nobunny was looking a little ratty last time around.

Show Preview: Smith Westerns, Yuck @ Emos (2/7)

Date Monday, Feb 7th
Location Emos
Doors 900p
Tickets $12 @ the Door

This is possibly the hottest ticket we’ll see in town until SXSW ladies and gentlemen.   Smith Westerns have just released their latest album, Dye It Blonde, to great fanfare, including this very site.  They’re young and they’re sure to bring energy to their glam meets indie rock sensibility.  Then you include Yuck, a band that’s going to have an absolutely huge year one their album hits the States.  It’s one of the main reasons I’m so excited to hear guitars all over the world this year, and am scaling back on the dance beats.  So, you have two amazing young bands, but you also get Nic Armstrong, a Brit who resides in Austin, who’s been doing this for quite some time, so we know the guy can hold his own.  Pretty sure you need to be here folks. You won’t want to miss this for the world.

The incredibly quirky musician known as Darwin Deez is making a stop on the inside stage at Emo’s on Thursday night.  Joining the man on stage are Friends and Stunts.  Bundle up people, cause it’s gonna be could on the walk there!  While you’re at it, check out a video of “Radar Detectors”, as it seems Mr. Deez does not like MP3s of his music floatin’ around the web.

The ATH crew stopped by Emo’s on Saturday night for a show by one of our favorite old school bands The Get Up Kids.  Of course the guys incorporated several of their new tunes while still incorporating a lot of our old favorites from back in the day.  When the encore goes a little something like “Holiday”, “Don’t Hate Me”, “I’ll Catch You”, and “10 Minutes”, you gotta know we enjoyed our time at the show.  After the jump you can check out some photos of GUK and opener River City Extension by Brian Gray.

The show every indie blog fan boy has been looking forward to for weeks is finally going down at Emo’s this Tuesday night.  The show I’m talking about is of course the Best Coast and Wavves show with fellow blog buzz band No Joy opening things up.  This should be one you won’t want to miss out on.

It seems like only yesterday that everyone’s favorite post-emo band Get Up Kids were in Austin and now they are back again for another show at Emo’s on Saturday night.  This time around, the guys will be joined on the stage by Steel Train and River city Extension.  The Kids are of course touring behind their first new album in around 7 years which can previewed with some new songs on our site here and over here.  Be there.

Show Preview: Yellow Fever @ Emos (1/20)

Date Thursday, Feb. 20th
Location Emos
Doors 900p
Tickets $9 @ The Door

Here lives one of those shows that hasn’t gotten much discussion, yet it’s probably one of the best shows you’ll get a chance to see this week.  Yellow Fever puts on a quiet little show, but the intricacy of their songs, as well as the duo’s interplay never ceases to provide enjoyment.  Then you’ve got Air Waves bringing up the rear, and they’ve been one of the more popular bands on the Net in recent months, so you definitely owe it to yourself to at least check them out, right?  And you can kick start the evening with Hidden Ritual right around 10 PM.  Gives you time to get your nap on, grab a few early beers, then rejoice in the fact that you only have to pay $8! It’s going to be a good night folks.
