Wooden Birds @ The Parish (8/20)

August 18, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	8/20/10
Location	The Parish
Doors	9pm
Tickets	$13 @ Parish website

The Wooden Birds are making a name for themselves in and out of Austin so you better hurry to The Parish on Thursday night while you can still see them at such a small venue. Joining the Austinites on the stage are fellow locals The Mercers and Canadian musician Dan Mangan. Mr. Mangan is touring in support of the U.S. release of his debut LP Nice, Nice, Very Nice which came out last year in Canada. Latest single from Dan and his band “Road Regrets” can be found below.

Explosions In The Sky @ Stubbs (7/4)

July 2, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

Looking for a way to celebrate your 4th of July in style? Why not make it out to Stubbs for a more than fitting night of music with Explosions in the Sky, Octopus Project, and Wooden Birds! As far as shows for the night go, this really is the best bet. Sure you may want to fire up that grill and drink a cold one, but Stubbs has all of these things and more! Unfortunately tickets are sold out for this one so maybe you can sneak your way in… Doors at 7pm.

Austin A2W: Wooden Birds

April 15, 2009 RayRay Leave a comment

Seeing as how we haven’t run one of our Austin Artist to Watch features in quite a while, we thought we’d kick things off again with obvious A2W choice Wooden Birds. This new Austin band has been getting a ton of local and national press coverage as of late, mostly for their mellow take on indie folk rock, and partly because the band is fronted by local music legend Andrew Kinney (American Analog Set). After 6 long years in Brooklyn, Mr. Kinney moved back to Austin recently and decided it was just about time for a new music project. We had the good fortune to speak to the man behind Wooden Birds and ask him some of those burning questions about his relocation and his music. Follow the jump for full interview with Andrew Kinney.

SXSW In Pictures

We took loads of photos during SXSW and wanted to share just a few of the better ones with you. We had some camera trouble during the week so we didn’t get everywhere we wanted to be, but we hope you like the shots we made out with. Our goal was to give you an idea of what SXSW is like with pictures of bands, crowds and people. Pictures of our showcase will be up for your enjoyment tomorrow. Follow the jump to see some random photography from our insane week of SXSW fun.
