Written mostly by Frank Phosphate with some help by DL . FRIDAY Hidden Cameras / Gentleman Reg / The O's (Hailey's): It's a pretty shitty time to be a gay person in America. Somehow it was decided that civil rights issues are something to be voted on by the public at large. On one side of the argument, we have testimonials from couples unable to receive perks made easily available to their hetero counterparts, civil rights experts explaining the social/historical significance of [...]
There's lots of great shows this week, but there's two in particular we'd like to say a few words about. First up, this Friday at Beauty Bar will be Car Stereo (Wars) FINAL show in Austin.

WOW. We had an absolutely overwhelming response to our My Bloody Valentine ticket contest. Several hundred of you entered, but don't worry-- we haven't notified the winners yet because we haven't had time to pick them, but we'll do it soon... so if you're waiting for that magic little email in your inbox, you'll have to wait a little longer. And Jesus Christ, there are some fucking shows this weekend (check our show calendar for even more)(post written by SR and DL)(also, the comments still aren't functioning properly, but we'll have that resolved this weekend and we'll update [...]

Zest Of Yore Quality Of Life Self-Released [2008] Fire Drills Review: Here is a Texas band that has completely flown under the radar with their infectious brand of indie power pop. They have a laundry list of bands they cite as influences in the genre but really have their own sound and Quality Of Life consistes of simple song structures with catchy melodies. The record was co-produced by Doug Gillard (GBV, Cobra [...]
Sorry, we're really trying to start publishing these things earlier, but sometimes life gets in the way: Damaged Good$/ Prince William / Scuba Team Go / Johnny Moog (Granada): This is at least a partially great line up at the Granada tonight, and I hope enough people come out to see it so that the place doesn't look empty. Perhaps I'm underestimating the draw of Dallas' Damaged Goods, and I might very well be considering the appeal they seem to have amongst the hipster hop set, [...]
Thursday, November 13, 2008 Well, today my good friend Kendra turns 26. I'd like to wish her a super fat Happy Birthday, but considering that we both have to be at work at 2am tomorrow, I'm thinking it may actually be a good idea to do a belated sort of thing. Yeah for awesome timing! Anyhow, here's the second (never say I don't love you) EP of the week. Enjoy. : The Lucksmiths - A Sobering Thought : Speaking of Kendra, this is actually [...]
We mentioned it before on this weeks show list but wanted to make a special post to highlight this show on Saturday.

The Living City Benefit Concert is to support Project Transitions. This Austin institution is dedicated to serving [...]

The video above for the song "The Rat" comes from Athens, Georgia, rock outfit Dead Confederate , a band that, along with The Whigs , is helping reaffirm the assumption that Athens, indeed, is quite the little southeastern hotbed of musical talent. The band, stopping through Dallas on the way back from an ACL after-party booked to Emo's on Friday night, actually made a ton of waves at this past spring's SXSW as one of the most-talked about bands at the showcase fest, but only now seems to be capitalizing on that buzz with [...]
Sheesh. Thought there would be a lot more going on this weekend with the holiday and everything, but I guess not. Oh well. At least I'll be done with this shit early (if we missed anything, let us know). The shows are below, and by the way-- what do you guys think of that new Toadies record, anyway? FRIDAY The Party (Zubar): Ahh... the August Zubar Party. This shit is always so fucking hot that you just forget about what you look like and [...]
