Psych Fest Preview: The Ripe

April 27, 2012 nathan.lankford One comment

Seeing as Psych Fest is going to be taking over Austin this weekend it seems only fitting thta we rep one of the many great Austin bands: The Ripe. This week the group just released their album, Into Your Ears, on Get Hip Records, and we’ve had a lot of fun spinning it for ourselves over here at ATH. Just one look at the album’s cover and you might think these guys play on the darker side of the Psych realm, but you’d be asboslutely wrong. There’s a light-hearted garage feel to what they’re working on, and fans of both modern indie rock and classic tunes will enjoy themselves. These dudes have gotten some great press from all over the world, so it’s about time people in Austin pay attention, and that means you!

The Ripe will take over the stages at Psych Fest on Sunday, April 28th at Emos at 4:00 PM. See you there!

Here’s an MP3, plus you can sample the band’s whole album right HERE.

Location	The ND Venue
Doors	800p

Many shows have come through our town, but we wanted to spotlight a local show for one of the hottest new acts in town, Not in the Face. The duo are known for their rollicking live shows, pummeling audience with their straight-up rock n’ roll sound. Besides, you gotta get your hands on their album, as it’s your job (and ours) to support the local Austin scene! Plus, you’ll get the benefit of seeing several other Austin area acts prior to the night’s highlight such as Lights Go Out and The Ripe. Preview a track from NitF below!

A fairly new band in the Austin scene, The Happen-Ins, will be celebrating the release of their debut LP at Scoot Inn on Friday.
