There was another Council Meeting at The North Door and it just so happened that friends of ATH, The Great Nostalgic and Tiger Waves , were playing through the curtains . What a lovely way to spend an evening; playing jams and shooting jams being jammed. Lots of jamming, in fact. Jam has become our favorite thing. Tasty drinks, booty drops, plenty of extras joining in because of multiple birthdays. You may have missed it, but it was documented for posterity. Click through... [...]
Oh man, is 2011 over already? It is indeed, which means End of Year list time! Of course, that means it's time for you to tell us where we went wrong, but on this list, we're thinking we got it pretty right on. You'll notice we expanded our list to a Top 15 of Texas Artists, as we thought our state did a great job, musically (not politically) speaking this year. I'll admit, it might be a little Austin-centric, but we're based in the town, so get word a lot faster. Apologies to Houston and San Antonio, as your scenes [...]

Make no mistake about it; we're huge fans of Austin band The Great Nostalgic . Just recently they released their second album, Hope We Live Like We Promised , but they're not stopping there. Currently the band is holed up, hard at work on a brand new EP. You can clearly tell the band's sound has changed from their first effort, sounding tighter here than they have in the past, throwing out a melding of sounds in the middle of the track to bring you effortless brilliance. It's about time [...]
Not long ago, our amigo Abram of The Great Nostalgic came to us with this crazy idea of gathering some of Austin's finest musicians and asking them to write, records, and mix a song in one day. Despite thinking the guy may have lost his mind, we loved the idea and were excited to see if he could actually pull it off. Well now welcome Single Cuts , the project created by Mr. Shook along with some of the finest talents this town has to offer. Already the collaboration project has posted a new song entitled "Jackie" [...]

On Saturday night, we made our way out to Emo's for the record release party thrown by our local friends in The Great Nostalgic.

Our dearest friend and photographer Brian Gray also made it out on Saturday to get us some fancy photos from a few of the bands. These can of course be seen after the jump.

Make no mistake about it, The Great Nostalgic are easily one of our favorite up and coming local bands. What with an appearance on our album's of the year list in 2009, labeled as Austin album of the year, and major exposure here, it's easy to see we dig their music.
