Location	Cheer Up Charlies

Tickets	FREE

Traveling acts are rather sparse this week, as the bands wait for us to clean the streets of SXSW, so you’re best bet is to catch one of the great local acts playing about town. My suggestion is to catch RF Shannon this Thursday evening over at Cheer Up Charlies. The show is FREE, for one, but the group is also one of the acts who everyone is expecting a big year from in Austin. They’ve just released their Hunting Songs LP on Punctum Records, which is worth your listening pleasure. They’ll be joined on the evening by King Mary and Real Live Tigers. Join me, won’t you?

Date	Tuesday, December 3rd
Location	Mohawk
Doors	9:00 PM
Tickets	$8 from Mohawk

Winter weather unfortunately puts a damper on bands traveling into Austin to put their music on display, but there’s a few great acts coming in, like Nightlands blowing into town on Tuesday night. The group is still pushing the sounds off their most recent release, Oak Island, which was well-received across the board. I’ve always appreciated the way the project incorporates these organic sounds into these dreamscapes that mesmerize listeners. And if that wasn’t enough, locals Holy Wave and RF Shannon will be supporting on the night. It’s cheap, it’ll be good, you’ve got no choice: be there.

Show Preview: Mirror Travel Tour Kickoff @ Hotel Vegas (10.15)

Date	Tuesday, October 15th
Location	Hotel Vegas
Doors	10:00 PM
Tickets	Cheap

Formerly Follow That Bird, Austin’s Mirror Travel are prepared to make waves all across the United States. Their new album, Mexico, is being released tomorrow by Modern Outsider, which happens to coincide with their tour kick off set over at Hotel Vegas. You’ve got to be there to check out these great new tunes, and to show support by buying things so they can pay for gas as they conquer the States. They’ll be joined by Suspirians and RF Shannon on the night, making it an event you can’t miss. Plus, it’s indoors, so you have a chance to stay dry during a rock show. Be there or be square, says I.
