the crookes – Austin Town Hall

Sit Back and Enjoy The Crookes

December 8, 2015 RayRay One comment

I’ve mentioned UK band The Crookes several times before on our website and the band has always been hovering a bit in that not huge yet should be area. Today I think the band may be breaking out with this new single “The World is Waiting”. This is truly a brit pop gem here with some incredible, driving guitars and this overall sense of urgency permeating through. I’m seeing a lot to be enjoyed here.

The Crookes will drop Lucky Ones via Modern Outsider on January 29th.

July 14, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	7/16/14
Location	Mohawk
Doors	9pm
Tickets	$10 @ Mohawk

As I’m scrolling through the upcoming shows this week, I stumbled across this great bill at Mohawk on Wednesday that I must have forgotten about. Headlining the loaded bill is longtime ATH favorite UK rockers The Crookes. Joining the guys on the bill are fellow ATH favorite Young Buffalo and local artist Stoney. This should make for a great middle of the week show to start your weekend early. See you there?

Have Fun with The Crookes

January 14, 2014 RayRay Leave a comment

Here’s a fun jam called “Play Dumb” coming your way from UK based band The Crookes. The trask isn’t one that you should spend too much time trying to overanalyze with labels and whatnot, just enjoy the beats. This could be one to watch out for in 2014.

New album, SOAPBOX, will be available for purchase on April 15th via Modern Outsider.

ATH March Music Sampler

March 1, 2010 RayRay One comment

Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce for your listening pleasure the new Austin Town Hall March music sampler. This bad boy features 6 tracks from bands playing our showcase on Thursday the 18th, as well as 10 other bands we’re looking forward to seeing during the SXSW week. That’s 16 in all for you kids that don’t do the math too good… You’ll see familiar ATH favorites like Surfer Blood, Besnard Lakes, and Crayon Fields alongside some of the lesser known acts like The Loom, The Crookes, and Holiday Shores. I’ll stop blabbing and just direct you all to the new sampler page. We’re pretty proud of this one so tell all your friends! Also, don’t forget to get those RSVPs in for our sweet party at The Ghost Room.
