Another Ditty from the Infinites

Leave a comment

It feels like the Infinites are one of the hottest commodities in town right now, and by that, I mean, they’re one of the absolute bands bouncing about. But, there are those that live outside the confines of our fair city, and you should definitely put the band on your “must listen” to list. Press play on this new single from their forthcoming LP and you’ll get intoxicated by the guitar tones; they have that natural bounce we adore from the surf-rock genre, though its presentation with the vocals definitely leaves it in more dreampop territory. I think it also shows the expert craftsmanship of the group, as the song seemingly comes to an abrupt end; why go forth when you’ve said all there is to say in a song? The band’s self-titled LP comes out via First Human Records this Friday…with an In-Store performance over at Waterloo if you’re here in town!

Free In-Store with Will Johnson (9/11)

One comment

You know that everyone here at ATH loves Will Johnson, so of course we’re going to take a little bit of time out of the day to celebrate his most recent release, Scorpion.  In honor of his release, Will will be playing a free set at 5 PM on Tuesday, September 11th, over at Waterloo Records here in town, and I’m sure it’s going to be intimate and charming.  The new record is full of great tunes that I hope everyone enjoys, so we’ll post this track again in hopes that you’ll leave work right on time to catch Will’s set.

Show Preview: Great Lake Swimmers @ Stubbs (5/23)

Leave a comment

Date Wednesday, May 23rd
Location Stubbs
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $12 from Frontgate

Man, so many great bands are playing in town this week, and another to add to that list is the Canadian group, Great Lake Swimmers.  Their original incarnation had them crafting quieted folk numbers, but as they’ve continued to grow, they’ve incoporated more into their sound, adding more strings and what nots.  They’ll be coming into town with a bunch of new songs from their recent release, New Wild Everywhere, but I promise you they’ll play some of the old hits too…and there are definitely some beautiful hits in their catalogue.  Opening the night will be Cold Specks!  Oh, and if you can’t catch the show due to time or financial constraints, both bands will be doing an In-Store over at some place called Waterloo Records for FREE starting at 4:30.

Shearwater @ Waterloo Records

Leave a comment

Austin band Shearwater will be doing a free show at Waterloo Records at 5pm this Wednesday (6/11). If you’ve read our recent review of the band’s new album Rook you probably know we are excited about this free in-store. Waterloo doesn’t do much in the way of promoting these things but you can still check out the Waterloo website for more free in stores coming up or if you just want to buy some sweet tunes. Be sure you show up early because the line starts for the free keg beer pretty early. That’s right, I said free keg beer. Do you really need another reason to go? We’ll be posting pictures of the event in the coming days.
