Two Days of Far Out During Levitation

November 14, 2024 Michael Maly Leave a comment

Since its inception in 2008 as ‘Austin Psych Fest,’ this Austin-based music festival has built a strong reputation. It offers a diverse lineup of underground, punk, electronic, and shoegaze acts, standing in stark contrast to the larger, more mainstream Austin festival that takes place earlier in the month. The festival features a wide range of underground, punk, electronic, hardcore, shoegaze, and psych-rock acts. It blends established genre titans with progressive newcomers, offering high-quality performances across 11 venues over four days in Austin, TX. The flexible programming allows fans to choose between a single day built around an established headliner or a full weekend exploring diverse genre options across several downtown venues. The one exception is the Far Out Lounge, a short trek south of the city’s center. A venue with two stages makes the location ideal for a day packed with constant action on stage.

Levitation Lineup & Tickets 2024

June 27, 2024 RayRay Leave a comment

We have long been singing the praises of Levitation Festival as the absolute best music festival in town. The lineup always trends towards things we dig, the venues are mostly killer, and the ease of hopping from venue to venue can’t be beat. Things are going down again in late October/Early November and we are super pumped to share out the stellar lineup with breakdown by day. Once again, the lineup stands out as tops with a little something for everyone – indie stalwarts like The Drums and Death Valley Girls, electronic beats from Tycho and Washed Out, and of course local legends like Black Angels, The Sword and even The Jesus Lizard! Full lineup is over on that fancy poster or via the Levitation 2024 website. It’s sure to be another great time. Tickets are on sale now.

We all have friends on Twitter, right? Sure you do! Well, one of my Twitter friends, Burton Parker (@welvis), on occasion, tweets from the future. Most of the time it’s fairly asinine, but there are some genuine moments of hilarity. So for this week’s Friday Top Five I decided to jock Burton’s style and recall some of my favorite moments from 2009’s Fun Fun Fun Fest…from the future!

Fun Fest Interviews: The Jesus Lizard

When one gets the opportunity to speak to a legendary band such as The Jesus Lizard, one most make the most of that opportunity with some quality questions. Oh and questions about Halloween costumes… Such was the task assigned to us when we had the chance to send 5 questions to veteran bass player and founding The Jesus Lizard member David Sims. I think you’ll find that David still likes to keep things pretty old school. Follow the jump for full interview.

As the lull in summer music news gently takes hold of us here at ATH, we hear via our friend Chris at GvsB that our local Transmission Entertainment has begun to slowly unleash the list of bands hitting the stage at the 4th Annual Fun Fun Fun Fest. The bands so far released are reunited Jesus Lizard, Broadcast, Atlas Sound and King Khan and the BBQ Show. We’re already stoked, so lets see if they can pull the Descendents together.
