the low lows - Austin Town Hall

Welcome Home Monk Parker

June 16, 2015 RayRay Leave a comment

Many locals around these parts venture off to greener pastures at some point in their career and Monk Parker is no different. Having moved off to NYC a while back with his band The Low Lows, Parker is back home here in Austin after his band’s breakup. From the ashes of his now defunct band, comes an entire LP of solo material recorded at his family farm just outside of ATX. As a preview of the upcoming album, new single “Sadly Yes” has just been released. To me, it’s in the vein of alt country, similar to fellow locals like Will Johnson as a solo musician or with his projectSouth San Gabriel. Very majestic and beautiful. Welcome back.

New album, How the Spark Loves the Tinder, is due out on August 28th via Bronze Rat.

We really dig that new Fruit Bats record so we are of course excited for their stop in town Wednesday night at Mohawk. Fellow Sub Pop and ATH fave Death Vessel will provide main support with locals The Low Lows starting things off. Best show of the week? Damn this song is really good…
