Show Pics: The Horrors @ The Parish

September 23, 2011 brian.gray Leave a comment

The Parish hosted the Horrors last Wednesday night. It was a lovely way to break the ACL hangover. It takes a few days to get over the festival mentality. You have a craving for tall, expensive cans of beer. You constantly check a schedule. You complain about cell service.

What better way to break the cycle than go see a band in a dark, smallish club atmosphere with expensive bottles of beer? Here are pics and few impressions from The Horrors set at The Parish, The Stepkids opened.

Date	Wednesday, Sept. 21st
Location	The Parish
Doors	800p
Tickets	$15 from Frontgate

Over in the UK, the Horrors have been media darlings, crafting some darkly-tinged songs with Primary Colours, then turning in some brighter numbers on this year’s Skying. They’ve had some success in recent years, and this current release only has their name growing in the media spectrum. Still, don’t take our word for it; you’ve got to get out to hear these guys live! Plus, you get the added bonus of seeing them perform at the Parish, which we all know has some of the absolute best sound (if not the best) in Austin. Sounds like the perfect way to get out of a midweek funk.

Show Preview: This Will Destroy You @ The Parish (6/12)

Those who can afford the luxury of going out on a Sunday night, should head over to the Parish for some tunes by local boys This Will Destroy You. They’ve been doing their thing in and around Austin now for quite awhile and it’s about time you caught them in the live setting if you haven’t already. Sweetening the deal for me is opener and long time ATH fave John Lamonica who is currently touring behind his creative and forward thinking new album Volunteers. Be there kids.

Honestly, I feel sort of like Here We Go Magic are becoming a local band; those kids play here all the time. That being said, we’ll gladly have them back any time, as long as they continue to give us great liver performances, and killer music like the recent January EP. They’ll be sweeping through town on Wednesday with another Brooklyn act in tow, giving us all a pretty solid reason to head out to the Parish midweek. Caveman and Shells (up-and-coming Austin band) will both open the evening, just before we get to the nitty-gritty jam-core of HWGM. You in? You better be.

Need your fix of local Austin heroes? Well, wait no more folks, as the best and the brightest of our local scene are going to pack the Parish on Friday night. You’ll have our favorites like Freshmillions, Zlam Dunk and some newer acts on our radar like The Shears (celebrating their CD release) and Sphynx. I mean, if you want to call yourself an Austin music fan, you have no reason not to be there, of course, you’re like us and you’ll be out of town. Also, if you have plans to go to ACL, this is your chance to preview/congratulate Freshmillions on making the line-up, just before Stevie Wonder. See you Friday kids.

My favorite band from Tyler, TX Eisley are stopping in Austin again on Wednesday night. Now normally this would be a tough day for you kids to go out with it being a school night and all, but most of us should have the next day off! Joining the lovely ladies (and two guys) on the Parish stage are Ives the Band and a special solo opening set by the younger sister of the Eisley girls, Christie Dupree. We here at ATH have a soft spot for this band so expect to see us in the crowd.

The Parish played host to Film School’s fifth stop on their tour in support of the album Fission. Austin’s TV Torso and Monahans were brought in to open. I was looking forward to this line up as a good match to the excellent sound and lighting at this venue. Follow the jump for more and fancy photos.

Psych rock San Francisco band Sleepy Sun are making a stop at The Parish on Saturday evening in Austin. Joining the rockers are True Widow and Austin’s very own The Astronaut Suit and Brother Ghost. For such a relatively cheap price, this has got to be a great option for a stacked lineup at one of the finest venues in Austin.

Lots of people in and around Austin have been anxiously awaiting the release of The Murdocks new LP The Distortionist. Well now the wait is over and the up and comers are releasing the new album soon and celebrating at The Parish on Saturday night. Joining the guys on stage are fellow locals The Couch, Naysays, and Through the Trees. While the new Murdocks album isn’t out for another week or so, I’m sure they’ll have copies you can buy at the show.
