The Ghost Wolves are like tumbleweed blowing through the swamp. There might be a layer of grime on their sheen, but it doesn't diminish any of their beauty. In fact, it enhances it. Carley Wolf's fuzzy guitar entwines perfectly with Jonny Wolf's frenetic drums. And the vocals! Oh those vocals! All the bluesy swagger of Mudhoney's Mark Arm with the coquettish lilt that only Carley can provide. Get your hands on Getchya Hip Thrust , a two-song gem that includes the title track and the song "Black Crow" (featuring BP Fallon). Both songs are vibrant delicacies [...]

Browngrass- you've seen it, but have you heard it? It's the sound of one of our April Monthly Poll winners Sour Bridges . They used the term after having a difficult time describing their music. "We have tried categorizing our music into folk/rock, blue-wop, mountain gossip or aggressive grass but nothing really stuck until Dalton (the drummer) jokingly coined the phrase 'Browngrass'. It's similar to Bluegrass but a little dirtier." Cravings of those Austin summer nights with friends in a backyard drinking whiskey until the sun rises are exactly what I yearn for when [...]

"Give me some butter!" exclaims Taye Cannon, lead singer of Roxy Roca , a soulful funk band with a killer song about the classic comfort food we all know and love, cornbread. Who knew a song about food could be such a sexy good time? Roxy Roca delivers powerhouse energy from beginning to end as Taye makes the most of every moment with old school dance moves, genuine audience interaction and heartfelt vocals. Combine that with well-written songs paying homage to all the Motown greats, a solid band line up and a snazzy horn section to boot, [...]

We ATH crew are here to make sure you don't completely screw up this whole SXSW thing and hate yourself for doing so.  Now we realize that every website in the nation shares some musical advice on the festival itself, but we like to think that we can offer you our opinions in condensed, easy to read versions.  Our policy has always been to only post things we like, and we promise to continue doing that.  We'll be spending the next week or so fulfilling our promise with some SXSW artist to watch, 3 at a time.  I'll start things [...]

We here at ATH have always been huge fans of east side venue Scoot Inn , so we were intrigued to hear that Austin business mogul Doug Guller was purchasing the property.  Doug obviously knows the live music scene here in town, as he has owned and maintained popular venue The Parish for quite awhile.  Our intrigue of this recent acquisition lead to an informal interview with Doug via email.  Follow the jump for Doug's responses to how he plans to restart the famous east side locale.

A light show, four Candelabra bulbs do not make. My uppance for complaining about the light a few shows back? Perhaps, but I persevered and was able to grab some pics for you from Literature ’s set at the Scoot Inn. We’ll have their vinyl available soon, pre-order here people. So in the meantime, no better way to get geeked up than to hit a smaller venue on a busy night to see how the material is shaping up live. It was good, really good. Rhett & Dean [...]

You don’t really think I’m going to list my top 5 hangovers during SXSW, do you? That would be a task that would take years of scouring my brain and the memories of many who have been involved. I know I can be an idiot sometimes, but give me a little credit. I’m talking about what seems to be the lingering taste of that stale, warm, bitterness, that some people in this town, and many outside have lingering on their cranial palate after last week. The wise and beautiful Nathan Lankford already laid it out here on this [...]

Bear Hands really impressed me with their 'What a Drag' 7" and since purchasing that lovely white vinyl, I have been hoping to see these fellas perform live. While I have yet to have my wishes come true, there are a bunch of live videos floating around the interwebs that I figured I would share with y'all.
