On the Road: Tour Diary with Shivery Shakes (Part 1)

Shake-BannerThe blog world can get a bit stale from time to time.  Listen to this song. Go to this show.  So, I wanted to do something a little bit different, but something that still reflects the music.  I got in touch with our friends Shivery Shakes, who were just setting out on their first big tour as a band, going from Austin to NYC and back. I asked them to do a little tour diary, give some insight into a young band on the road.  We’ll be checking in with them throughout the tour for a little tour diary action. Plus, they’re traveling with our good friend, and excellent photographer (though no Brian Gray!), Pooneh Ghana. You can check out more of her work HERE.  Without further ado, here’s a look into  life on the road.  Read more

AbramWith tons going on in the city of Austin, musically, we hopped around the town Friday night, finally making our way over to support our friend Abram Shook and the release of his wonderful album, Sun Marquee.

Show Review: Crystal Stilts @ Red 7 (10.24)

Having followed Crystal Stilts since their inception, including their involvement with Cinema Red and Blue, it’s surprising that I hadn’t caught the band live yet.  But, Thursday night was going to change that, and my anticipation was riding high, after absorbing more and more of the group’s recent album, Nature Noir

Show Review: Terry Malts @ Mohawk (9.26)

There are just some bands that you’re going to fawn over, so I’m always glad when I get a chance to see Terry Malts.  It didn’t hurt that they had some great local acts supporting them before their set, which made for an all-around enjoyable night for us.  Staying up late on a school night, well worth it.

You can read on for my thoughts and such things, not to mention B.Gray’s photos of the evening.
