Show Preview: Alvvays @ Stubbs – TONIGHT

If you’ve been anywhere near the indie sphere the last few months, and perhaps even in the pop realm, you’ve definitely heard people raving about Blue Rev, the new LP from Alvvays. I covered every single that came out, increasingly impressed with how much the band took their bedroom indiepop sound from years ago and continued to grow it into a full-fledged pop rock masterpiece, brimming with nods to their past whilst readying them for arena rock performances. Lucky for Austin fans, the band will take the stage at Stubbs this evening, accompanied by tourmates Slow Pulp. You can expect a smattering of hits, and maybe a deep cut or two, but you can rest assured that Molly Rankin and company are going to be brining their A game. Tickets are still available HERE! Doors at 7, show begins at 8 PM.

 

Show Preview: Okkervil River Tour Send Off @ Stubbs (8/22)

Date 8/22/13
Location Stubbs
Doors 10pm
Tickets $15 @ Door or $8 w/ CWK Ticket

So as we create this post, and you read this, tickets are probably going pretty fast so you better get a move on.  Just posted a few hours ago is a rare performance by local band Okkervil River at smaller venue Stubbs on the inside stage.  To be blunt, I could honestly care less about seeing Cold War Kids play their new material, but a ticket to that show will get you into this one.  Those not attending the CWK show, I recommend buying now and getting yourself in line super early.
