Show Preview: Eels @ Stubbs (7/20)

Date 7/20/11
Location Stubbs
Doors 7pm
Tickets $22 @ Frontgate

Anyone look for some solid live music on Wednesday night should head out to Stubbs in Austin for a show by Mark Oliver Everett and his crew known as Eels.  Opening support should also be above average and is provided by The Submarines.  If you aren’t checking out Wooden Birds, this is where you need to be.

Show Preview: Mogwai @ Stubbs (5/16)

Date Monday, May 16th
Location Stubbs BBQ
Doors 700p
Tickets $20 from Frontgate

If you’re looking for an incredible show to kickstart next week, then you should definitely make your way to Frontgate and get your hands on Mogwai tickets.  The Scottish band is perhaps one of the best known post-rock instrumenalist groups, and they’ve just recently released Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will, which has actually grown a lot on me since I first reviewed it. I’ve seen the band several times, and always find myself encapsulated in walls of sound, music that borders the fine line between beauty and sheer noise.   You’ll also be fortunate enough to catch opening act Errors, who are supporting the group on their current tour.  If your lucky enough to catch a cool breeze, this could make for one of the best nights of your life.

Show Preview: Fleet Foxes @ Stubbs (5/10)

Date Tuesday, May 10th
Location Stubbs
Doors 700 PM
Tickets Sold Out!

There’s a reason this show is sold out, that being that Fleet Foxes are one of the hottest bands around, even though they seemingly disappeared for several years while recording Helplessness Blues. All that extra time led to the crafting of a magnificent album, filled with those warm harmonies and folk stylings, better than practically anything else out there. You won’t just find one great band, however, on this bill, because Cave Singers are a phenomenal act in their own right.  They released their third album, No Witch, and it established the band as one of our favorites here at ATH.  You might not be able to buy tickets, but you know there will be tons of folks trying to earn a buck by scalping a ticket or two.  If you got one, you’re lucky, if you’re looking, keep on, as this show aims to be nothing more than one of the most remarkable nights in Austin.

Show Review: Local Natives @ Stubbs (3/11)

So I am standing in line to see Source Code at SxSW Film and read the email that I have press for Local Natives.  Panic.  A quick check of the show’s stage times and the movie’ running time, I should be able to make Local Natives no problem at the sacrifice of time in the pit for Gayngs.  We all make sacrifices.  The movie got a late start, and thankfully so did the show at Stubb’s.  A very good show as those of you who have seen Local Natives will attest…
