ACL 2017 In Pictures: Sunday – Weekend One

October 13, 2017 brian.gray Leave a comment

The Final round from the photo pit, but first a love letter…

Hopefully, you know the feeling you get when you are on a good team, when all types of different people come together and get things done. Now, my fellow Austin music photographers weren’t shooting for the same outlet. In fact, we mostly compete for your views, but the reality is that each in the group takes care of the other. Whether it is an extra water, pepto tabs, pickle run or a spare memory card, it makes festival life awesome. Truly talented and happy to have them as colleagues and, more importantly, friends. When the Sound on Sound announcement landed, we were crushed, not just for the organizers, but also to lose that chance to just be together all doing what we love.

…and bitching about something the whole way.

Today’s gallery features Deap Vally, Melat, Middle Kids, Charlotte Cardin, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Whitney, Caitlyn Smith, DRAM, First Aid Kit, Run The Jewels, Portugal. The Man and Gorillaz.

ACL 2013: The Big Post of Good Stuff

October 22, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

We are wrapping up Austin City Limits 2013 coverage with this giant summary of links and a massive amount of photos not previously shared. We had a ton of coverage, from tweets galore to interviews of ATH faves. You can see plenty of pics from Weekend One. I didn’t have the fancy wristband that gets you up close and personal for big camera fun. I did have the most fun of any ACL I have ever been to thanks to a group of amazing friends I call fambly.

New Music From Portugal. The Man

June 10, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

How is it possible that one band manages to put out this much music in such a short career? It’s hard to believe, but Portugal. The Man are preparing to release their 7th studio album In the Mountain, In the Cloud July 19th on Atlantic Records. Prior to that date, we have this new single “Got it All (This Can’t Be Living Now)” which continues the familiar PTM psych/funk rock sound. Hope you enjoy another solid jam from this extremely prolific band.

10/18 Portugal. The Man @ Emo’s

October 21, 2008 RayRay Leave a comment

The city of Wasilla, Alaska is best known for one of two things: The first, and the one we keep hearing about in the news, is how the city was once home to vice presidential candidate Sarah Pallin. The second, and much less widely known fact, is that Wasilla was also once called home by members of psych-rock band Portugal. The Man. Regardless of where they came from, the one time Alaskan outfit (now in Portland) known as Portugal. The Man rocked the house at Emo’s on Saturday night. Follow the jump to read more about the show.
