Our good friends in THE SOUR NOTES , one of those Austin bands that we've been in love with for ages, are getting ready to hit the road on a tour with upstarts ELAINE GREER and are having a send-off party for their people in true Texas fashion - BIG! They've got two stages loaded with talent lined up Thursday night at the 29th Street Ballroom from former Rumble fav's AGENT RIBBONS , to PINK NASTY, to MEGAFAUNA . There is free food (eggs, pies, pizza) and a free photo booth and an [...]
Friday, June 24, 2011 As you've probably noticed by now, on June 30 we're helping sponsor a show that's happening at Spiderhouse Ballroom. A press page with all the info you could need can be found here, but we also thought it would be fun to highlight each of the acts and offer up some of our own opinions. Enjoy. Show Spotlight: Pink Nasty (bar stage - 12:15am) Despite having written about Pink Nasty way back when I first moved out to [...]

For me, Pink Nasty entered the big leagues when she stepped to the mic on May It Always Be on Bonnie "Prince" Billy's Summer In The Southeast . The other Pink (Miss Nasty if you're nasty) has finally gotten around to following up her much-praised 2006 release, Mold The Gold . The self-titled record is a dozen doses of deliriously off-kilter pop, climaxing with a number entitled Sex Kinda Smells . That should be all you need to know, but just [...]
Date 7/21/10 Location Mohawk Doors 9pm Tickets Cheap?? @ Door The Radar Brothers are back in business this year with their newest album The Illustrated Garden having already hit shelves earlier this year. Now the guys are on tour in support and making an anticipated stop at The Mohawk on Wednesday night. Joining the band are our [...]
The Twilight Sad The 'Sad boys recorded a session for LimeWire (when did LimeWire go legit?), they're currently giving away "Cold Days From The Birdhouse (Live At Lime)" as a free download here . Jenny & Johnny Perhaps you might know them better as Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley fame (does anyone know if they've officially split up?) and her Glasgow born boyfriend, Jonathan Rice. Well they've decided to make an album together, as a wee preview they're giving away a free download of their song ' Scissor Runner '. Pleasant [...]
Every now and then, an album featuring some of our favorite performers drops without making a blip on the music media radar screen: Enter Brett Eugene Ralph. The self-titled debut album from Brett Eugene Ralph's Kentucky Chrome Revue, which dropped early last month via Louisville, KY's Noise Pollution , was recorded at Paul Oldham's Rove Studios and includes an epic list of guest appearances, such as Will Oldham (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy), Jolie Holland, Sebadoh's Jason Loewenstein, Pink Nasty, Catherine Irwin (Freakwater), Paz Lenchantin (Silver Jews), Ethan Buckler (Slint), and 14 others. Two years in the [...]

We recently ran a feature on new Austin band TV Torso so we're excited to see that they'll be playing two shows in Austin on Thursday. The first is an End of an Ear in-store at 6pm followed by a full on headlining set at Mohawk later in the evening. The Mohawk show also features locals Pink Nasty and fellow A2W band The Authors . That show starts around 10pm on the inside stage. Check our Artist to Watch feature on TV Torso for more information about the band. [...]
If you've never considered Denton as a viable venue to catch the latest and greatest, it's time for an attitude adjustment. First up, Great Lake Swimmers is playing at Hailey's on April 8 th . This melancholy folk group features delicate, whisper-soft vocals and poetry-like lyrics that center on various heartbreaking themes. Pink Nasty, an Austin artist (Sara Beck) who I mentioned during SXSW, [...]
From what I understand, there aren't many over-the-top parties/events that typically take place at SXSW on the first day (Wednesday). So it was decided that my travel mates and I would forgo that wretched early-morning trek to Baltimore's lovely airport and leave a little later, thus getting us in a little later. Of course the one year this happens is the year that all that changes and there's tons of great things happening on Wednesday during the day ( Jarvis Cocker, I'm looking at you ). This, I think, is a good thing and I'm looking forward to folks utilizing [...]

The fourth (count 'em) installment of my SXSW artists feature. If you're new to the game, I list some of the acts I'm excited about, with mp3s and a brief note about each. And on to the action! P-T time. Stay tuned for the grand finale later this week. Mieka Pauley - "9:453 [MP3] This Cambridge, MA artist doesn't need much of an introduction from me. Most of you know her. And if you don't, get to know her. The strength and range of her voice is stunning. [...]
This Friday, Golden Bear will be releasing their newest EP, Everest , at Club Deville. Not only will the locals be treated to the great tunes of Golden Bear , but they will also get to witness one of our favorite acts, as The Great Nostalgic will also be opening the evening's festivities. Rumor has it that Pink Nasty will be on hand to play a set as well. Show begins around 9, so get there and [...]
I'm a little late with my annual Pink Christmas post this year, but better late than never. Each December I bring back this zany song by Sweden's Envelopes along with a collection of other pink songs. Envelopes have recently released a second album, but it is not yet available in the U.S. Envelopes: Pink Christmas - from It's Not Like Christmas (2006) MySpace | Website | Label: Brille Music Ltd Buy at Amazon Pink Nasty: Hot Pink House from [...]

Or maybe you should just listen to some Pink Nasty . Sara Beck , the waffle-loving young woman who goes by the alias of Pink Nasty, has just liberated two [...]
On June 5, Frightened Rabbit played a packed house at the Mohawk with the French Kicks and Zykos . I won't say they were THE act of the show- but I won't not say it either. These Scots put on one amazing show, and I'm sure 400 or so patrons might agree. Check it: Frightened Rabbit live from the Mohawk: I Feel Better ♥ The Greys ♥ Fast Blood ♥ The Modern Leper Completely, Absolutely, Unrelated goodness: Pink [...]
The contrast podcast is hot this week, hot hot hot! It looks like a great selection of songs with which to become one with the heat. That's what I try to do when it's really steamy out. I attempt to be very Zen about it and just "become the heat." Unless it starts to make me feel ill, that is. I get sort of nauseous when I get too warm, sick to my stomach. I'm such a fragile flower. Oh yes indeed, I'm like an orchid--I [...]
Yes folks, it's almost that time of year again; one marked by BBQ, tex mex, margaritas, ice cold, Lone Star tall boys, and oh yes, music. SXSW. With thousands of bands descending upon Austin, March 12th through the 16th, it's helpful that the festival's official website offers up, along with the artist's bio, an [...]
This is the second showcase we'll be a part of at SXSW! We already announced our participation with Bloodshot Records SXSW 2008 Showcase on Friday at Yard Dog. On Wednesday, we'll also be a sponsor at Go Entertainment's SXSW 2008 Showcase at Scoot Inn. They have a great mix of bands full rock and roll, some singer-songwriter, and a dash of twang. I don't think this is the final schedule, so don't hold us to it. Leatherbag and a few other bands were added since this schedule was released. You can sample the [...]
