One of the best bands I saw during this years FREE WEEK was a band called Pop Pistol. They played our co-sponsored show with Austin Vida and everyone was blown away by them and what was funny is that they weren't even from Austin but rather San Antonio. I have been a huge fan ever since and we even had them booked for our initial (and ill fated) SXSW event. This week I was excited to see that they were named "Best Indie Rock" band by the San Antonio Current (pictured above) and ucky for us in Austin they will [...]

CLASSIXX : Fresh on the heels of their new single "Into the Valley" for Green Label Sound, the LA based producers/DJs are spending the summer nights marinating dance floors across the world. Barely into their twenties, Classixx has begun defining a new sound for the Los Angeles electronic music scene. A refreshing change from the trance and techno inspired Electro that has been dominating dance floors, their Donna Summer’esque grooves have caught the ears of music aficionados, fans and artists alike. With recent remixes for groundbreaking artists such as Phoenix, The Ting Tings, Shiny Toy Guns and The [...]

From Knuckle Rumbler : Mayer Hawthrone is making his way to the ATX for a very special DJ set. Hopefully he might add some tracks from his latest project Impressions EP. Having grown up just outside the home of Motown, Detroit Michican, it is little wonder that multi instrumentalist -Mayer Hawthorne has soul pumping through his veins and sites Holland-Dozier-Holland among his biggest influences. I can only imagine all the soul he will be bringing down to us. If a DJ set from Mayer Hawthorne wasn’t enough, we will also have live music [...]

Mission of Burma are LEGENDS. I wont get into their entire history because you should already know it but for those not in the know it's time to study up. [ WikiWiki ]. When Nirvana, The Pixies and Sonic Youth are citing you as influences you are doing something right. They are returning to Austin on July 22nd and will be supported by Ume who you should also know by now (especially if you read this site). Tickets are still available but they are going quick! Strapped for cash? Head over to our Twitter and Facebook pages [...]

Sponsored by Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum [ Facebook Event Page ]

[ Tickets ] The Love Language , initiated by Stuart McLamb, is a fortunate by-product of the North Carolina native's rudderless mid-20s, where a tempest of breakup, inebriation, and incarceration found the abandoned songwriter embarking on a storage-space recording project to slow his seeming disintegration. The growing body of emotional fight songs, committed to MP3 with a high-school era multitrack recorder, became postcards from exile, a way to let his friends and former flames know he [...]

Tomorrow night should be a good one. The Black and White Years have been playing high profile shows around town for a while now but here we have them playing a very intimate show at Lambert's [ MAP ]. If you know this spot you know that the capacity is limited to only 150 people so this would be an ideal time to catch the band. To sweeten the deal Politics will be opening the show. If you read this site regularly you are well aware of them and if not let me be the first [...]

Learning Secrets is turning 7. That is 7 years of this fine duo bringing some of the most exciting up and coming acts to town as well as legendary DJ's and promoting the finest this town has to offer. The thing that has always stood out to me about them is that they never do anything that doesn't live up to the highest of standards. They book bands months in advance of any hype and always create a vibe at their events that can't help but make you feel that you are at the right place. This Saturday they [...]
