This is fine.
Man, this next week and a half is shaping up to be a blast for everyone in Austin, and Friday is really starting to turn things up a notch. I’ve already caught great sets by Endless Thoughts, Politics and Parquet Courts, so I’m really looking forward to the rest of what’s in-store. If you can’t make it out this weekend, don’t forget that Free Week now goes on into next week too! Here’s my suggestions for Friday. Read more

I know it’s Labor Day weekend, and I know a lot of people are traveling around town, but if you’re not going to skip out on the city, then you need to head over to the bash at 29th Street Ballroom, featuring one of my favorite acts, Natural Child. I can’t say enough about how great these guys are live, and with their latest record, Hard in Heaven, coming out on 9/11, they’re sure to bring a whole new set to get you nice and sweaty. Just because they’re headlining doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be tons of bands worth your time. They’ve got Birdcloud, The Bad Lovers, Golden Boys–and more, so be sure to show up early folks!

So if you haven’t heard yet, everyone in the local and national media is ready to label Austin boys Harlem the next big thing to make it out of our town. Trying to prove this hype, the band will be celebrating the release of their new full length Hippies by playing a record release show at Mohawk on Thursday. The locals will be joined by The Golden Boys and Cowabunga Babes. You can pick up a fancy new copy of Hippies next week. Previously mentioned first single from that album, “Friendly Ghost”, can be found for your enjoyment below.

We have long been fans of the musical stylings of Titus Andronicus and we’re excited to see that they are returning to town at The Mohawk on Wednesday night. The So So Glos and local band The Golden Boys will be providing your opening support. While you’re at it, check out an old review we did at a Titus show.

I’m sure many of you aren’t aware that our local chapter of The Loyal Order of Moose recently underwent a huge renovation at their lodge on the east side. Why is this important you ask? Well music fans, The Lodge is starting to put together some pretty interesting shows/parties full of great local acts you might want to check out. Tonight (12/18) the Moose Lodge brings you Hollywood Gossip, The Gary Newcombe Trio, & MIss Jackson. Friday night (12/19) things get even better with The Golden Boys, Harlem, Welfare Mother, and Alright Tonight putting on a show. If those two nights don’t work for you, wait till Sunday (12/21) and make it out for Plutonium Farmers. Doors for all shows will open at 8pm. Directions to the venue can be found here.
