March 17, 2011 2115 Allred Rd Austin, TX, 78748 3:00-midnight Sam's Town Point in Austin launched SXSTP ... get it??? ... 3-4 years ago as an alternative to SXSW. And while that is certainly true, Sam's is an alternative to pretty much everything, including reality. I've written about Sam's before (both here and here ) and trust me, the legends probably understate STP's many charms. Wally Grossman bills his establishment as"the friendliest little bar in Texas," but that's not entirely accurate. Really, it's [...]
In high school there were journals - there are organized on my dresser, gathering dust, giving testament to the person that I was in my yesteryear, full of heartbreak and love for The Beatles. In my "I Quit College And Now I Work At A Bar" years, I kept journals too. They are hidden, for they are fucked and scouring through those pages might send me into an ignorant spiral. Whoa, shit just got deep there... Anyway, mix. I have omitted Ryan Adams, Iron & Wine, and things like Chris deBurgh, Chris Isaak, and Michael Bolton. Though that [...]
The Adios Lounge can't participate in this year's SXSW Music Festival because of top-secret government work. Yep, it's true. While Austin staggers under the weight of freebeerpalooza, I'll be keeping the Western Hemisphere safe in a bunker 20 miles below the surface of the earth. My disadvantageous location doesn't mean I can't have my finger on the pulse of excellence. Adios Lounge fans in ATX are wise to visit Sam's Town Point this Thursday, March 18. Your world will be adjusted (in the best possible way, of course) by The Archibalds , [...]

--Dexateens playing The Chukker, Tuscaloosa, 1999 Today's post is brought to you by Alabama. Not the band Alabama . The state of Alabama. Heart of Dixie. Birthplace of Hank Williams . The band ... hell, they're way too expensive for The Adios Lounge. Trust me, I've seen the rider and knowing the words to "High Cotton" will only get you so far. Even Randy Owen's goatee gets its own dressing room and NO BROWN M&MS! So, let us pilot [...]
This recording by Archibald, born Leon T. Gross (1912-1973), is from 1950. All the other information you need about this track is here . Next week, you'll get to hear Dr. John's version, which is almost a direct copy of this one. Archibald - Stack-A-Lee Buy from Amazon -- Buy from GEMM
Het online popmagazine Austin Sound kwam onlangs met een compilatie album waarop 21 bands uit Austin zijn verzameld. Niet geheel toevallig natuurlijk, Austin was immers afgelopen dagen het middelpunt van de muziekwereld vanwege het SXSW festival . En voor wie nog steeds denkt dat ze in Austin, Texas louter country muziek gemaakt wordt, loont het de moeite om deze verzamelaar down te loaden. Want hier vliegt hier van de beat van The Black naar slowcore ( Balmorhea ) en zelfs moderne opzwepende soul, gebracht door de fantastische Black Joe Lewis . [...]
Yes, I'll just come right out and say it: Hello my name is Heather. I am a blogger, and I am not at SXSW this week. If you are like me find yourself constrained by money, or work, or life (or a combination of the three) and are not partaking in the musical bacchanalia on the streets of Austin right now, let's find something to salve our wounds, shall we? The good people over at Austin Sound have put together a quality 21-song sampler [...]
The story of Stagger Lee, originally sung in the late 1890s, and revived in the late 1920s, was not told again, at least on record, until a rolling piano player from New Orleans revived (and revised) the song in1950. Leon T. Gross, who performed under the simple name Archibald, added a few new twists in the story that made the song's anti-hero (Stack A Lee, in this case) into a more vile person than previous versions. Why the song faded from popularity for over twenty years is a bit of a mystery. My own speculation is that the [...]
In yet another exceptional offering from the Superpop! crew, the Archibalds' debut album, O' Camellia , winds its way through a stew of southern influences, at times recalling the classic southern-rock balladry of the Allman Brothers and at others sounding like the illegitimate offspring of the Gourds (because the Gourds have no legitimate offspring, of course). With Cajun flourishes, a shade of Muscle Shoals' R&B soul, Beck's experimental folk, and dense, often hilarious lyrics, the group manages to expertly cull its array of influences into something altogether new and immensely catchy. You can catch them this Friday, Nov. [...]
THIS WEEK'S FINDS July 22-28 "Elouise" - Maps Buzzy, expansive, and richly melodic, "Elouise" is the work of shoegaze-inspired one-man band James Chapman, doing business from his Northampton (UK) home as Maps. But get this: unlike most if not all 21st-century bedroom rockers, Chapman developed his music entirely on a 16-track recorder in his apartment. Meaning he doesn't use computers. That knowledge will change how you hear this one, as the drones and beats and keyboards which drive the evocative, anthemic "Elouise" were all laid down the old-fashioned way, not manipulated by [...]

I can't say that I know a whole heck of lot about Austin band The Archibalds other than they prefer to drink red wine when dining out in the street, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy listening to their debut album O Camellia . I have to admit to you that's there's something about the album that I can't quite place my finger on. It just feels familiarly comfortable. Right. When you listen to most albums you can say that the lead singer's voice sounds like so-and-so. Or the guitar work reminds you of [...]
"Chamber rock" as a genre description sounds a bit sketchy to me. My initial thoughts were imagining Joanna Newsom with a Suzi Quatro haircut. Thankfully, Rasputina has a bit more to offer than "harp rock." Throw Rufus Wainwright's backing band in a blender with a couple of pan flute players and any number of female-fronted shimmy-shakers, and you'll begin to approximate this band's sound. Rasputina, "Cage In A Cave" + Rasputina + official + Myspace [...]
"Sinking Ships" is a zydeco dance-hall number masquerading as peppy, horn-laden indie rock song. And I like that about it. Too many bands from Austin don't use the rich musical landscape that they find around them to their advantage. It'd be like a band from New Orleans not using some of the beats of the Mardi Gras brass bands, or a Chicago band completely ignoring the blues, or a Californian band ignoring the sunny sounds of the Beach Boys. The Archibalds straddle the line between folk, alt-country and [...]
Mit blödem und dicken Gewinnen. "Wählt Euer liebstes Wordpress-Theme auf meiner Seite", oder so. Blogger lieben doch Umfragen, lieben Awards. Stimmts? Unzählige backlinks wären mir sicher gewesen. Der Sonnabend (so sagt man hier zu Samstag) ist bei mir aber Urlaub vom CSS, PHP, SEO und Wordpress. Obwohl mein Theme-Maskenball (Fiasko?) immer noch nicht abgeschlossen ist. Vielen Dank für comment an André und 2, 3 e-Mailschreiber. Ha! Ich habe da noch den ein oder anderen Trumpf im Ärmel... Noch mehr Austin gefällig? Hier kommen The Archibalds vom gefälligen Label » Breakfast Mascot Records . [...]
American Idol is thankfully winding down its season with Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis battling it out for this year's top prize, the Dollyrots have a new video attempting to tap into the growing American Idol backlash. Check out their Idol spoof "Because I'm Awesome" over on YouTube . The Donnas have remade the one-hit-wonder classic "Safety Dance." But, apparently their love for the 80s isn't all about the music. The lasses rockin' cover of the song will be broadcast into all of our homes in a VW ad. The ad begins airing June 1st. But, [...]
