ATH & Songsinc Party @ Empire Garage/Side Bar (3/17)

March 8, 2011 RayRay Leave a comment

Today we are pleased to announce our 3rd annual unofficial SXSW show during the madness of the festival next week. This year we decided to go with a night show as opposed to a day show since many of you have voiced complaints about not enough good music to see at night. Well here you are people, we have partnered with our friends over at Songsinc to bring you a show at Empire Garage (next door to Side Bar). Deets are as follow:

– Thursday March 18th

– Location: Empire Garage

– Doors: 7pm/Music 8pm

– Lineup (in order of appearance with links):

Ash Reiter, She Sir, The Fling, Eulogies, Cloud Control, One AM Radio

This show is totally free and open to the public with no RSVP, wristband, badge or other B.S. needed to get in. Just come out and have a good time while listening to some great music at one of the best bars in Austin. You’d probably be at Side Bar anyway right? The two places are connected so come on over and say hi. We’re also very pleased to have Floyd’s Barbershop, Dangerbird Records, and Sweetish Hill Bakery on board to help put on this event. You can also help us promote by liking the event on facebook, Do512 and Ning.

SXSW Interview: The Wrong Words

March 7, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Before the band release their record on Trouble in Mind Records, they’ll be hitting up Austin for what we hope is a show that comes as advertised: loud, fun rock n’ roll. We chatted up with the band before they head our way, so check out what they’ve got to say.

Friday Top 5: Unexpected Appearances at SXSW

March 4, 2011 -1893llzws 2 comments

It’s March in Austin, TX. It’s the time of year when a particular festival takes over the music capitol of the world, known as South By South West. Since this time last year, we’ve been recovering from the week long flow of free booze, sunburnt skin, worn out shoe soles (and feet for that matter), loss of hearing and lack of sleep; and we’re ready to do it all over again.

The waves of RSVPs are flooding our inboxes and lighting up our Facebook notifications, and before we know it our arms will once again be plastered with multi-colored wristbands. I have only been attending SXSW the past few years, but during that time my friends and I have witnessed many surprises take place and rumors come true. So, here are a few of my favorite.

So we here at ATH are continuing on with our coverage of SXSW with a bit of a focus on a couple of our favorite local bands. Today we’ll take a quick look at up and comers in the Austin scene She Sir. Leading man and founding member Russell Karloff was nice enough to answer a few of our prying questions via email about his band. Follow the jump for his answers.

SXSW Interviews: Secret Cities

February 28, 2011 RayRay One comment

Keeping up with some of our previews for the upcoming crazy SXSW festival, today we’ll focus on up and coming band Secret Cities. We fell in love with these guys last year when they released their debut LP Pink Graffiti and have been following them ever since. Lucky for us, band member Charlie Gokey was kind enough to answer some questions about his band and their upcoming sophomore effort. Follow the jump for his responses.

New Track from 1,2,3

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

As of right now, the world probably doesn’t know too much about the Pittsburgh duo, 1,2,3, but that’s soon to change, especially with the band signing to Frenchkiss. While the release date for the band’s debut record is still a bit tentative, the Internet has been given this new track, which is expected to be one of the featured tracks from said debut. There’s definitely a nice little groove that moves through this song, and with a full-band in the live setting, you can expect this to group to win everyone over, especially when they make their way to Austin, Tx for SXSW. Give a listen.

SXSW Watchlist: Twerps

February 21, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Some good friends of ours from Down Under have been steadily putting out great music, and we’ve tried to do our best to spread the good word here in the States. One of these bands, which we’ve mentioned before, is the Twerps. They’ve got a nice little bit of melancholy to go with some oceanic jangle, which is just the right kind of stuff for my ears. Their newest split single with the Ancients, Black Eyes, is out now, and they’ll have a new one just in time for the band to hit up Austin for SXSW; we’ve got one of those tracks to premiere for you all. The Twerps will be playing their showcase on Saturday, March 19th at the Black and Tan. But, if you’re not in Austin, don’t fret, as the band has scattered dates all over the country, so catch them before they bounce abroad again.

New Music from Davila 666

February 18, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Considering that two of the ATH writers have spent time living abroad in our past, how could we not support the movement of good rock n’ roll from our Latin American bretheren. So here you have Davila 666, a band from Puerto Rico, a band about to release their new album, Tan Bajo, next week here in the states. It’s a bit noisy, using rhythmic grooves to provide a nice bit of hyponitizing hooks for listeners. If you need help translating for this track, feel free to hit us up, as we swear we’re studied in Spanish. And, if you like what you hear, don’t only buy the record, go see the group in March when they come to Austin for SXSW.
