I saw My Chemical Romance play the AT&T Center in San Antonio last year, but only because Muse opened for them. Austin360 posted a review of the My Chemical Romance show at Stubb’s last night, that brought up some interesting thoughts about arenas versus smaller venues.
When I saw them at AT&T Center, it was a […]
There’s only one thing I can think of that is better than a satirical cartoon about a fake metal band. That one thing would be a tour by that very band. Adult Swim’s Dethklok is coming to Austin this summer and as starved as this town is for good metal, I predict a sellout. This […]
I’m bringing you my recommended shows a day early this week. Enjoy it! We’re getting some of the best in touring talent this week. My Chemical Romance, The Glow in the Dark Tour, M.I.A., Atmosphere, Meat Beat Manifesto and The Raconteurs will all be in town this week, aside from the bevy of local talent […]
I’ll tell you right off the bat, I’m a long-time fan of Full Service. I’ve been seeing these crunchy rockers since their dreads were shorter and their tans were lighter.
Don’t be fooled though. They can slay with the best of them, even bringing out a killer Mastodon cover from time to time. I’d compare Full […]
A follow-up to yesterday’s post on The Backyard’s closure due to new development in the area.
It seems there are plans in the works to relocate the venue to a larger property farther down Hwy 71, which would encompass enough land to allow ample parking and prevent developers from encroaching again.
It’s unclear if these plans mean […]
Austin has the most live music venues per capita of any city in the world. Losing one won’t change that, but continued overdevelopment probably will. The Backyard is joining Armadillo World Headquarters, Liberty Lunch and Back Room among the ranks of live music venues forced out by developers. This summer will be the last at […]
Alaska isn’t the first place you’d look for a good soulful indie rock band. Alaska is also a pretty good drive away from Austin. Wasilla’s own Portugal The Man trekked to SXSW this year with their fuzzed out guitars and gigged till they dropped. Portugal The Man was impressively on the schedule at least 3-4 […]
Dynamite Boy was one of Austin’s top bands when they broke up in 2005. Signed to Fearless Records, they called it quits after a decade of making fun pop-punk together. Their cover of AC/DC’s TNT is one of my favorite covers to this day, rivaled closely by Dynamite Boy’s rendition of I Want it That […]
File this one under Didn’t-We-Just-Survive-SXSW-2008? Dates for SXSW 2009 have been released on SXSW.com
Austin will be invaded from March 13 - 22 next year. Interactive and Film conferences from March 13 - 17 and the Music Conference + Festival March 18 - 22.
