Keep Austin Metal: The Destro, Within Chaos & In This Moment
When non-natives think of Austin music, they generally come up with the same handful of musicians. Those musicians being Stevie Ray Vaughn, Willie Nelson, Spoon & Ghostland Observatory. Fortunately for those of us who live in Austin, the music scene is much deeper than long-haired hippies and American Apparel-wearing hipster kids.
Metal is, and will probably continue to be, one of Austin’s most underappreciated genres. Even though San Antonio gets all the big tours and metal-friendly venues in Austin are limited, there is a burgeoning metal scene here that can’t be ignored.
One production company, Metal Freaktress Productions, is keeping the metal alive and bringing three eardrum-punishing shows to Austin over the next month. Ozzfest 2008 bands Within Chaos & The Destro are both playing Austin this weekend. Save gas and support local music venues!
More details on that show, plus the August 7th Devildriver / In This Moment show after the jump.
