We really enjoyed the Matt & Kim set when they opened for Cut Copy so we were of course excited to hear that the band was returning to Austin for a free show. The show is going down at Speakeasy and gets started around 8pm. The list of Supporting acts is quite lengthy with Major Lazer, DJ A-Trak, DJ AM, Autoerotique, and Rye Rye all included on the bill. Make sure you RSVP here and get there early as space is based on a first come first serve basis.
