If you were willing to skip across dark patches of ice in order to make your way down the treacherous 7th Street, then hopefully you were able to catch what was, in my mind, one of the best shows of the year so far, though admittedly it's only February. The night was filled with many young new bands, all of which are likely to be mainstays for time to come. Our frigid evening began with a little bit of local love, that and a few shots to keep us warm. Up first was [...]

It's that time of year folks, the time when we THINK we know what's the best of the best. In a year where some old faces reemerged, and some new faces joined the scene, we had a hard time narrowing things down, but these are our favorite Ten Albums by Austin bands in the year 2010. If you think we're wrong, we're cool with you voicing your opinion, but be nice, these are just one group's opinions. 10. [...]
Saturday night at The Parish we helped put on an awesome show by local bands Fresh Millions, Love at 20, and Superlitebike. Lucky for you and me, I made a new friend named Charles who just so happened to be a photographer with an impressive portfolio . After the jump you can find some fancy photos Charles took at the show on Saturday. If nothing else, you gotta see the badass laser show put on by Love at 20. Superlitebike were also very impressive as I had never seen them live. They know how to rock! Oh and I'm [...]

Sometimes it's hard for us to find artists worthy of featured posts on the site since we live in a town completely saturated with new and veteran bands. It is easy however when we are directed to bands with a unique and compelling sound like Austin boys Super Lite Bike . Somehow we've missed out on these guys since their inception a couple years ago, but we are now on board and driving the band wagon of hype. The Austin quintet known as Super Lite Bike have previously played in several bands around town with many names [...]

superlitebike - "unbelievable party!!! cool" (download) I'll be honest, a lot of the submissions I get for this blog just don't fit, but every once in a while, something comes through that I absolutely love. Austin's Superlitebike impressed me. This track, "Unbelievable Party!!! Cool" not only impressed me with it's title, but also with the fact that it's an upbeat party track a la LCD Soundsystem . They have a new record out on 1/30 called Away We Go. Follow them on Twitter [...]
