Austin Sound Check

This week, Austin is a veritable cornucopia of good local music. It’s too hot to do anything during the day, so hit the clubs after dark when it’s nice and cool out.

Band of Heathens, She Craves and The Boxing Lesson are all playing this week. All three happen to be featured on Feedback Vol. 1, our first all-local mixtape. Be sure to download your copy here.

If you’re in the mood for metal, check out Dead Earth Politics. I reviewed their EP, Mark The Resistance, not too long ago.

Get your ACL preview at The Parish on Friday, where Electric Touch and Black Joe Lewis are playing. If you were unfortunate enough to miss out on the three-day tickets, I’m speaking directly to you!
