Metric is a band that is very fun to shoot. Emily is charismatic and energetic, the rest of the band implements proper use of guitar, drum and bass face. Add to that a killer lighting rig and some beauty pop jams, you have the recipe for a fun night out. Heading to Stubb's on a Wednesday, there are worse ways to spend a weeknight. I'll sum things up, offer advice to the openers, The Colourist , and share the pretty pics after the break. [...]

It's time for a big contest around these parts kids. Today we're excited to be offering up a pass to you and a friend to the Jim James show on Monday @ Stubbs in Austin . We anticipate a heavy list of entries so let's get this thing going with some deets: Up For Grabs: Your name on the promoter's list with +1 Show Time: Doors @ 7pm Closing Time: Friday @ high noon How to [...]

I never got the chance to shoot Band of Horses when they were in our prime, i.e. still carrying the buzz of the early releases through the blogosphere. I did however got to see them in the big church during SxSW. That was pretty moving. Wall of sound, cathedral (seriously) ceilings, perfect venue for the at times sparse and haunting songwriting that made us suckers for the first two albums. They have since left our little corner of the intarwebs for bigger pastures, but so what. I got to shoot them finally under the carnival tent [...]

Guilty pleasures, we all have them (Timberlake, comics, shimmying, wrestling, jello shots). I have a thing for Brit-Pop and the poppiest stuff going in my playlists has to be Two Door Cinema Club . I swore them off after the last show based on their destined rise with a rabid fan base of teenage "drop me off at the show, mom" crowd. More on them in a bit. Inevitably, openers will get also get more mainstream as the crowd changes. Robert DeLong is an interesting creature. But, even if you hate [...]

Hi, nice to meet you. You mind giving me some air? Wow, Stubb's was it packed for Grizzly Bear . So packed that the photo pit was moved in to allow for more people space because the show was oversold. I didn't know that sardines had date nights. Was it worth it the uncomfortably close neighbors? A couple quick notes on the show including my love for Owen Pallett and of course the human monopod show pics... Owen Pallett [...]

While it is usually a rather homogenized list of artists, this year's Spin Party featured some names I wanted to see. Parquet Courts and CHVRCHES were included in the day's agenda which also gave me a shot to double back on Unknown Mortal Orchestra and check out Solange (Beyoncé's "indie" sister, y'all). Sorry, had to skip Kendrick Lamar for Girls Names and Small Black . I am sure there were some freebies which I ignored. I got to skip the line with my fancy [...]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds #nickcave #sxsw2013 (at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q)

That's right. I'm heading down to SXSW to represent FPT, and it's going to be an interesting journey. The ride down alone will be pretty intense (16+ hours from Milwaukee, WI) as me and 3 friends head out on the road trip on Tuesday afternoon. I've heard a lot about the fest, preparing like a madman for the past few days. There's literally thousands of events and I've listed an average of 50 different things that are worth checking out each day - except Sunday... nothing is happening Sunday. There's bands I'm gung-ho on [...]

• capturedtracks - Taking Off
• Phosphorescent - Song For Zula (Official Audio)
• Poolside - Harvest Moon
• ToroyMoi - Say That

On Tuesday night, psychedelic rockers Tame Impala stopped by Austin, Texas for a sold-out show at Stubb's BBQ.

Let's make no mistake about it, the Tame Impala show at Stubbs' was deservedly sold out! Blowing into town behind the release of two excellent albums, Lonerism and Innerspeaker , the venue was filled with a nice bit of buzz.  They even brought friends The Growl along with them from Australia.  Read along for my thoughts and Brian's rad photos. You can tell that people were excited about the night's show juts by [...]

Date Tuesday, February 26th Location Stubbs Doors 6:00 PM Tickets SOLD OUT It should be no surprise that Tuesday's show with Tame Impala has sold out. The band has been universally praised with their two albums, the most recent being Lonerism .  It's weird to see a band burst forth with such enthusiastic [...]

So I got an email from Georgia who told me that she and her fellow students at the Birmingham Institute of Art and design had made a video for my song "Delusional" from the EP " V - Part Three of L.O.V.E ".

Photographic Evidence by Alejandro Silveyra The Scene: 1/19/13 Stubb's in Austin, TX It's hard to argue with the facts. FILLIGAR have gone from Chicago band done-good to that of noted mover and shaker on the international music scene. Less than a year after successfully [...]

Date 12/16/12 Location Stubbs Doors 8pm Tickets $7 @ Frontgate It's been a big year for local band My Jerusalem .  They just dropped their impeccable album  Preachers , have done some light touring, and have been picking up some positive national press.  Sunday evening is a chance to get on board and support local music with [...]

Date 11/15/12 Location Stubbs Doors 9pm Tickets $10 @ Frontgate Mr. Gnome is a great up and coming band that I caught during SXSW last year, and I can honestly say that they can fully deliver in the live setting.  Those looking to get a good show in before the craziness of this weekend ensues [...]

Spending your Halloween at Stubbs seems like a weird route to go, but I was pleased to see at least of a third donning costumes for the show.  I had high hopes for the acts, having missed Divine Fits last time around, and always loving a good Cold Cave jam. Read on for more words and excellent photos. Cold Cave are an interesting band.  It's like a dark wave band, with the darkness probably being harnessed a [...]
