We've really got our thing going now with these Lost in Austin videos filmed by our good friends over at Guerilla Waltz . We started with quite a few local bands, but recently decided it was time to expand to touring acts since we get so many incredible bands through town. Our very first such video features electro-pop group A Lull . Follow the jump for a set up and video. This video was shot in an undisclosed location somewhere in and around Waterloo Park with homeless dudes [...]

Yeah, I went out in crap weather on a Monday night to see some bands. Fine, I feel you judging me. It was an inside show at Mohawk that featured A Lull . They had Deleted Scenes and Tape Deck Mountain opening. It was fun to open up the big 50 and catch slices of the show. The night had building complexity, building layers. The bands broadcast intelligent, well-crafted music. Click that read more link over there for some show notes and plenty of pics… [...]

I like outside shows when it is cold. Starfucker headlined The Mohawk last Saturday. Alexico and Painted Palms opened the sold out show (honestly a bit surprised) that was made warm with merriment and spirits, or whatever else. Starfucker pulls a weird blend of show-goers including some old people (mainly me). It was a young crowd, it was a good crowd. Head past the break for pics and show notes… [...]

Things are settling back in after the calm of the holidays. New releases are starting the trickle in and the show circuit is picking back up. Free Week kept many local music fans busy and there were many great lineups . One of our favorites was at The Mohawk last Saturday. Shivery Shakes , Ghost Knife , A Giant Dog , Grape Street and OBN IIIs played inside. I figured I should grab bigfiddyonefour and have fun. So with pints of local beer, we listened to [...]

The night before, I joined Nathan for Modest Mouse . The post-FFF6 hangover lingered and that show did not help. I am officially jaded. Phantogram is up next after Reptar unleashed a silly dance party. I am feeling better. The first bass notes from "Don't Move" kick in after the stage filling intro music. The lights jump. They move. They create. I was pulled in. I was grinning uncontrollably. Head past for more on the set and plenty of pics. [...]

Ep.497 - Misfits @ Gilligan's - Murfreesboro, TN 10-19-11 Misfits Video Concert Reviews You can't ignore the Misfits . They are everywhere. A buddy of mine that works at a venue says that it's nearly impossible to find a night where there isn't at least one person wearing a Misfits tee at his establishment. I believe it. My husband has worn his shirt out to the point where you can barely see the outline of the trademark skull. He's a pretty big fan, so, we decided to [...]

The Fun Fun Fun Fest powers that be announced recently that all after shows this year would be completely free for anyone holding a festival wristband. You can agree or disagree with me if you like, but that's just about one of the most bad ass ideas I've ever heard. Leave it to the Transmission guys to continually outdo themselves year after year... So now that the festival is officially here, let us take a closer look at these Fun Fest Nites and give you a nightly recommendation on where we think you should be. Obviously these are just [...]
