Show Preview: The Eastern Sea (Album Release) @ Stubbs (6/22)

Leave a comment
Date Friday, June 22nd
Location Stubb’s
Doors 1000 pm
Tickets $8 @ the Door

I know there’s some great shows going on this Friday, but one that everyone that claims to support the Austin scene needs to be at is the Eastern Sea album Release over at Stubbs. Their new album, Plague, is something I know that everyone will enjoy, crossing boundaries of indie rock and forging into well-crafted mass appeal.  This is definitely one of the Austin bands that’s on the rise, so come support the group before they hit the road.  And of course, if you show up early you get to see another solid Austin (via Michigan) artist, Dana Falconberry, who’s always worth your top dollar.

Date Saturday, Feb 15th
Location The Parish
Doors 800 pm
Tickets $12 from Frontgate

We’ve been huge fans of Here We Go Magic for years, so we’re always going to encourage you to get out and see their live shows.  The group’s got something going live, with Luke Temple orchestrating vibrant music with his band, creating joying pop music that everyone can appreciate. They come into town supporting their recent release, A Different Ship, which came out a short while ago on Secretly Canadian.  Also making an appearance will be Austin’s Hundred Visions and Moonlight Gram, who I can’t seem to find anything on, but I love a good Field of Dreams reference.  See you Tuesday folks.

Show Preview: Quintron & Miss Pussycat @ Red 7 (6/16)

Date Saturday, June 16th
Location Red 7
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $10 from Transmission

If you’re looking for one helluva show on Saturday night, Quintron and Miss Pussycat are putting on a garage party over at Red 7.  Everyone already should be aware of the headliner, but I’d also like to get a special shout out to Dent May who will be filling the middle spot right after local band, The Golden Boys. His newest record, Do Things, just came out this week, and while it’s got a marked change from his last affair, it’s definitely still got the hooks that made us swoon for Dent early on.  Be sure to show up early to catch all three bands; it’s cheap, plus you can support the local scene by supporting one of our own.

I was so excited to get the chance to see Crocodiles perform tonight at Stubbs that I completely went unaware of the impending show by Cave Singers tonight.  I aim to rectify my oversight, knowing that Cave Singers always bring their A game to the live setting.  Their last record, No Witch, spent a lot of time on my playlist, and I hope you spent some time with it as well.  If you’ve got the funds, then this is definitely a show you should get out and see.  Smoke and Feathers will probably kick things off around 10 PM.

Date Friday, June 8th
Location Mohawk
Doors 800 pm
Tickets $12 at the Door

The weather has cooled off a bit, so a full on dance party seems like a bit of fun, right? Well, Yacht always bring a solid amount of danceable pop, so it looks like Mohawk is definitely the place to be for the Friday night.  I’m also going to suggest that you all go and check out Onuinu, who I wrote about a little while back–dude’s make bedroom pop from Portland, so you gotta support his differentiation.  Love Inks will kick everything off, so grab your friends, a few pre-game beverages and go have a blast over at Mohawk.

Tickets CHEAP!!!

We’ve got a great show tonight, featuring one of Austin’s hottest acts; Gorgeous Hands. What? You’ve never heard of them? Well, that’s because they’ve changed their name; they were formerly the Magnificent Snails.  They’ll be releasing a digital single, and the first 100 in the door get the single for free (it’ll be on vinyl in August!).  Also opening the night are several great bands you’ll want to familiarize yourself with if you’re an Austin music fan.  Punk upstarts Dangeresque will open, followed by cool kids, The Couch–and Colorado’s Fierce Bad Rabbit will close out the evening.  You an stream one of the new tracks from Gorgeous Hands below.

Show Preview: Plants and Animals @ Lamberts (5/25)

Date Friday, May 25th
Location Lamberts
Doors 1000 pm
Tickets $10 from C3

With all the incredible shows in town on Friday evening, we wanted to make sure you were aware of all our favorite acts, so we got one more great suggestion for you, Plants and Animals.  The Canadian group will be making their way into town to play at Lamberts to support the release of their recent record, The End of That. In my mind, they’ve got this real classic indie rock song, but as the group’s evolved they seem to have taken on the personality of a rocking M. Ward–an interesting twist.  Opening the evening will be Papermoons, so show up early, and don’t talk ’til the band’s off the stage.

Tons of great shows on Friday night, but the one you’ll find me hitting up is Ty Segall and White Fence over at the Mohawk.  Ty’s got to be one of the busiest people in the business, releasing his latest album, Hair, with White Fence just this past month, then turning around to release another as the Ty Segall Band in just a bit.  Garage rock and glory are all his.  It’ll be interesting to see if Tim from White Fence plays a solo set, or if he’s just going to rock with Ty the whole night, or if they’ll trade back and forth.  You can also catch some great acts opening the night up, with Rayon Beach and Useless Eaters kicking things off the right way.  It’s going to be a rock n’ roll fueled night, but this is your friendly reminder to not talk at the show, please.

Show Preview: Great Lake Swimmers @ Stubbs (5/23)

Date Wednesday, May 23rd
Location Stubbs
Doors 900 pm
Tickets $12 from Frontgate

Man, so many great bands are playing in town this week, and another to add to that list is the Canadian group, Great Lake Swimmers.  Their original incarnation had them crafting quieted folk numbers, but as they’ve continued to grow, they’ve incoporated more into their sound, adding more strings and what nots.  They’ll be coming into town with a bunch of new songs from their recent release, New Wild Everywhere, but I promise you they’ll play some of the old hits too…and there are definitely some beautiful hits in their catalogue.  Opening the night will be Cold Specks!  Oh, and if you can’t catch the show due to time or financial constraints, both bands will be doing an In-Store over at some place called Waterloo Records for FREE starting at 4:30.

It’s going to be a great week for rock shows in Austin, and I have the perfect way to start off your week in the proper fashion. Danish pop group, Alcoholic Faith Mission are coming into town in support of their recent record, Ask Me This.  They crossbreed straight pop with elegant songwriting, giving listeners hooks galore.  Plus, they’ll be joined by Old Flame Records labelmates, You Won’t.  The Massachusetts group blends indie pop and folk, in a fashion that has garnered them accolades for some time.  School’s out for a lot of people, so let’s all go and enjoy the music folks.
