Live music picks for TUESDAY OCTOBER 11 through MONDAY OCTOBER 17 2011. TUESDAY OCTOBER 11 / WILD FLAG / LEE'S PALACE / 529 BLOOR W / $25 / 19+ Four ladies who love to play music — that's the best way you can describe Wild Flag, a four-piece band from Portland that is quickly making a name for themselves in the industry. Quick and dirty riffs coupled with harmonized vocals are staples of the band's work. Playing Lee's Palace tonight (Tuesday) with supporting act Yellow Fever. [...]
Nineties nostalgia seemed to die a little when Wild Flag started playing last night. Usually you come to these shows expecting a commemoration of dead groups you clung to in high school (and like me, still do).… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
The day is already hot; yesterday was hot. I am inside right now with the air conditioner on and am quite comfortable, but, because the back door has to be shut, Gracie is driving me crazy. She rings her doggie bells to go out and a couple of minutes later flaps the dog door to come back inside. I think it's a test. Either that or she's out to drive me crazy. After I finish here, I'll join her on the deck while there is still a breeze. This morning I got my yellow fever shot for Ghana and a lecture [...]
This morning I could smell the ocean. I didn't want to come inside, but I reluctantly pulled myself away. It rained last night as it will every day this week. Today is still cloudy but a bit lighter than it's been, and the street is beginning to dry. Gracie found the baby possum last night. I heard her making a weird sounding bark and went outside. I rescued the possum, but I don't know how much life it had left. It moved when I grabbed it by its tail and put out it outside the yard. Gracie had only played [...]
Marcia and Ted of ANTIMAGIC sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? m: You Got Lucky (youtube) by Tom Petty . t: "Same Old Scene" by Roxy Music , from their much-maligned Flesh & Blood album from 1980. It's serves as the opening and closing music of the film Times Square also from 1980. Total ear candy perfection, but still kinda weird. [...]

I suppose it's inevitable for every show-goer to experience that special moment where he become the guy who frowns with displeasure at the kids massed around him, uttering the dreaded phrase he used to joke about. For me, it happened when I went to see the trendy Dirty Beaches last week. I've allowed myself to go along with the buzz, because I do like the dude's mysterious, lo/no-fi aesthetic. And I was excited to see [...]
From the moment Dirty Beaches took to the stage at Glasslands last Thursday, I was so ready to hate him. "Oh great," I thought to myself, "yet another electronic buzz band type of thing that's actually just one guy doing karaoke over super fuzzed out guitar wales and an expensive microphone." So. ready. to. hate . him. And I will say that I still don't know if the music has any inherent value, but I can't blame any other blogs for hyping this guy up. He's interesting. He's got a good singing voice. And he is a fantastically charismatic [...]
This Dirty Beaches fellow has been getting a lot of good press from a lot of good places. I've listened to a few of the songs, especially the one below. I'm not sure I totally get the hype, but this reserved, quiet, but emotional track is definitely interest-piquing. Take a listen, see what you think, and if you're remotely interested and have some spare time- I suggest you make it out to this show. It's definitely going to be one of those buzzy shows with all kinds of people there getting their first glimpse of a potential new buzz band. [...]

Date Thursday, Feb. 20th Location Emos Doors 900p Tickets $9 @ The Door Here lives one of those shows that hasn't gotten much discussion, yet it's probably one of the best shows you'll get a chance to see this week. Yellow Fever puts on a quiet little show, but the intricacy of their songs, as well as the duo's interplay [...]
Monday, December 13, 2010 I cover local music for Side One: Track One so my year end list is comprised solely of Austin bands. Your list of the top 10 albums of 2010 probably differs quite a bit from mine and that's the way it should be. These are the bands I was most excited about, went to see in concert, the groups I listen to the most and the albums I encouraged others to check out. Let me know if you think I made any major omissions: [...]
" Knockout " is a seemingly simple folk-pop gem, elevated by new Austin resident Nicole Schneit 's (aka Air Waves ) casually poignant lyrics and her apparently effortless knack for crafting warmly familiar, bittersweet melodies (a nice assist from Jennifer Moore of YellowFever helps too). The wistfully rolling heartbreaker is the opening track from Dungeon Dots , Air Waves' stellar forthcoming full-length, due later this month on Underwater Peoples : mp3: Air Waves :: Knockout [...]
Personally, I like to spend my Saturday Halloween nights at house parties with friends, not riding any trains where people in scary masks with fake weapons give me anxiety attacks. BUT, this show almost, ALMOST makes me reconsider. And I really hate riding the subway with people in scary masks holding fake weapons. All five of these bands fun, exciting, palatable to most listeners' ears, and will put on a raging Halloween party. These bands are all so straight-up enjoyable fun, that I bet you could even drag you non-music-loving friends along and they'd have a good time. Plus, who [...]
Have you been to the Showpaper 42nd Street Gallery yet? No? Well, it's official- mid-town has become so uncool it's finally cool again. Todd P and Experimental Gameplay Project teamed up to make an interactive video arcade gallery in Mid-town. I haven't been yet, but reports all say that it's pretty cool . You should definitely grab a few friends and go, play some and games, and see some bands. This blog is obviously a big fan of both The Babies and YellowFever. Sewn Leather and Narwhalz are both pretty intense noise/electronic bands. I'm not [...]
Date Wednesday, September 8th Location Mohawk Doors 1000p Tickets @ the Door only The first time I was able to catch S creaming Females , I was rather impressed. Admittedly, I had gone to see if Ted Leo would sweat all over me, which he did, but this threesome kicked out some powerful jams [...]
"Los chinos son una sub-especie...." declaró Morrissey en una entrevista el fin de semana pasada. Sólo que la mayoría de los medios que reprodujeron la nota aparecida en The Guardian , omitiendo la parte que en que se refiere a que lo son, por su manera de "tratar a los animales". Recordemos que el ex-Smith es un vegetariano combativo y un auténtico activista de los derechos de los animales, tanto que uno de los discos de su famoso ex-grupo se llamó "Meat is Murder". Pero también recapitulemos algunas de sus constantes declaraciones a través de [...]
Local band Whitman had the opportunity many fought for, opening up for Jersey's Titus Andronicus outside Emos on Wednesday night. Another Austin band, Yellow Fever , filled up the middle slot, giving us all a mixed taste on the warm evening. Whitman took to the stage fueled by the energy of singer/guitarist Ram Vela. He jumped about the stage, flinging his guitar about as the band blasted through their new song "Teenage Daydreams." The new song differed in [...]
Date 9/1/10 Location Emos Doors 9pm Tickets $12 @ Ticketweb Well ladies and gentleman summer has come to a close and we suggest the best way to celebrate/mourn would be to heal your wounds with some solid rock music. We think the best way to do that is to head to Emo's on Wednesday night for [...]
