Islands is an Austin Town Hall favorite. Nicholas Thorburn heads the band that creates a wide range of music, poppy in the beginning, maturing as the project continues. Islands came through Austin with Idiot Glee and decided to take a shot at hosting a show in the St. David’s Episcopal Church.

If you get the chance, go to a show in a church. It is all about the acoustics and the ambience. It’s just different.

How different? Read on, I’ll tell you and show you.

Show Preview: Thurston Moore @ St. Davids Episcopal Church (2/11)

Date	Saturday, Feb 11th
Location	St. David’s Episcopal Church
Doors	730 pm
Tickets	$17 from Transmission

Make no mistake about it, Saturday has a lot of great shows, but one of the places to be has to be St. David’s Episcopal Church where you can catch one of the legends of indie rock. Things seem to be on the down low for Sonic Youth, but Thurston has a great catalog all his own, so don’t show just hoping to catch up on the oldies. The last time I caught him doing his solo act, I couldn’t take my eyes off his guitar skills; be sure to get there early, as you’ll want to get as close as you can to this demigod.

Yes yes technically Daniel Johnston lives in Austin, but we wanted to tell you about multiple shows in one post. The first is your usualy Waterloo in-store starting at 5pm with free keg beer of course. The second is a more intimate show at St. David’s Episcopal Church(map) with doors opening at 6pm. Both should be a great opportunity to see a local legend in conert.
