Jam stalwarts moe. kicked off an active month of touring last night at La Zona Rosa in Austin for the first of three shows in Texas, where they'll be supported by Great American Taxi. In the middle of yesterday's first set GAT/Leftover Salmon's Vince Herman sat in on mandolin with the group for a cover of The Band's Up On Cripple Creek. It was moe.'s first performance of Cripple Creek since January 8, 2007 and only their third performance of the classic rock staple ever. [via MoePeriod FB ] [...]
On their latest album, the Strange Boys leave most of their garage rock elements behind in favor of a style that's got more in common with blues rock and alternative country. Surprisingly, it's a smooth transition. WATCH THE REVIEW

One of my life ambitions is make it over to SXSW . The Texas multi-media festival is widely regarded as one of the world's finest showcases of creative talent, both for the artists on display, and due to the legendary atmosphere at the event. Sadly, financial issues meant that I was unable to afford flights for this years SXSW , however, money problems aside, I have my sights firmly set on 20122s Austin festival. Earlier this afternoon the programmers behind the event announced the first list of acts confirmed for the music element of the festival, [...]
I will always support an artist who makes me think of dark, tarry cannabis and crispy fried potatoes at the same time. So it was a relief when Houston's hasHBrown sounded mighty nice. The beat has that cinematic flourish plus that hoarsely sung, irritatingly familiar sampled note, and the lyrics are something Vakill might have done if he'd grown up someplace warmer around nicer people.

somewhere between image and object the poem finds itself. aye. a spoken word assemblage; verbal polaroids and impressionist sketches from the last two years. micrcosmic observations, (auto)biographical shards. amy hempel baked in the texas sun. not surprisingly war and oil loom large and small, whilst he riffs on/off lenny tristano, fox news and music scenes. a knotted clot of words, unpicked inexorably with dry deliberation in smooth, stalking, constant cadence. i'm still chewing on this...

No, this isn't a small person tribute band to The Minutemen -- in case you happened to be wondering such a thing. No, this Austin-based band of self-proclaimed "slop-punk" is a six-pack of the good times. The same sort of rough, loud, and honest sounds that gushed out of '90s underground rock bands such as Guided by Voices, Dinosaur Jr., and Sebadoh is present here, like a time capsule of the best memories. The Midgetmen's latest LP, Loud Enough , is stuffed with crunchy, fuzzy, rattling, buzzing guitar riffs, shout-along verses and choruses, and even hits of jubilant horns [...]
Dudes Die // "If We Don't Win" I'm still a total geek for Dudes Die album Internet Party that I posted on here many moons ago. So I was happy to receive an email from the band a couple days ago telling me about this new monster of a track. It's called "If We Don't Win" and it's the first thing to surface from their upcoming album Coloratura. If there was any promise to be found on Internet Party (and trust me, there was) then these Austin dudes [...]
With a musical style reminiscent of American guitar legend, Jimi Hendrix, Gary Clark, Jr. has been considered to be the leader of the rock movement in Austin, Texas and has burst into the industry with his latest release, "The Bright Lights EP." With a delicious blend of rock, soul, and blues, Clark has portrayed the ability to distinguish himself from the heavily saturated music industry and immerse his talent in an explorative array of various genres. Beginning his career by playing at small gigs throughout his teenage years, Clark has developed and grown immensely, thus being dubbed Rolling Stone's "Best [...]
Landlocked State by Teenage Cool Kids Hailing from Denton, Texas, Teenage Cool Kids are a band that have a lot of fun things going for them: rough presentation, catchy melodies, slacker attitude, amusing lyrics. Of course, this is no surprise since one of the band's members is Fergus & Geronimo member Andrew Savage. Their debut album with his duo Fergus & Geronimo was reviewed and loved by me earlier this year. The song "Kachina Doll" features a great burst at the opening as Savage's nearly deadpan vocal gets [...]
What happens when you combine two of the freshest M.C.s in the big, bad state of Texas (Dallas, to be precise) with one of Detroit's most respected producers? A dope hop hop song. Plain and simple. 'Insomniac Dreaming' is the sum of the afore-mentioned parts, with wordsmiths Slim Gravy and Paris Pershun - known collectively as A.Dd+ - teaming up with the mighty Black Milk to create what is a mid-tempo heater. Over to A.Dd+ to drop some [...]

Rule: No white after Labor Day. Exception: White Denim. Why, you ask? Well for one, they hail from my hometown of Austin, Texas. Secondly, they are just plain fantastic. These guys have been up and coming for a bit and getting heavy plays and praise with their fourth album, D , released back in May. I'm usually of the electronic persuasion, but this is straight up jazzy rock 'n roll with bluesy soul. They've just uploaded a new track, "Hot Thought," available for download on their website . Check it out below. [...]

Austin, Texas four-piece SAINTS OF VALORY have returned with a new track that's been released in the past week or so. We just received word that the new effort 'The Young Sons', was being put up at PureVolume and we obviously jumped at the chance to also feature here as your Daily Dose. You may remember our feature on their track 'Sweet Disarray' in early April of this year. If not head back and give it a listen , and pick up their excellent new EP 'Neon Eyes' over at the BandCamp link below. Also, [...]
Weekend in America taught me a little more about Gartner's sound. Before I gave him some criticism about his loose style, which almost seemed sloppy to me. But once you cozy on down with it, you begin to understand its headnodic appeal. Of all things this has done for me, it's made me realize I gotta see him live . My only major issue with the album is the featured artists, but since it's really more to do with the politics in who he picked than their performance, I'll leave [...]
ESPECIAL HOSEA HANGROVE Hosea Hargrove nació el 18 de noviembre de 1929, y fue criado por su tia May y su tío Hosea que le dio su nombre en la región de Bastrop County. Crecido en Crafts Prairie, una comunidad cerca de Smithville y Bastrop, con 80 años de edad, Hosea Hargrove no sólo absorbe blues sino que el es blues. El vino con el territorio. Se crió en pleno campo y a los 10 años creó su primera guitarra con una caja de cigarros y malla de alambre, jugando hasta que la llegó a dominar, y un músico [...]
