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 […]
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 […]

Rolling Stone has released their Best of Rock 2008 list, chronicling the “125+ People, Places & Things Ruling the Rock & Roll Universe.” Not surprisingly, Austin is represented twice on the list. Stubb’s BBQ (Best Rock Club) and Waterloo Records (Best Record Store) both deservingly made the cut.
Stubb’s consistently serves up the best in touring […]

Lately my music selection has been pretty heavy on the 90’s end of things. Emo and its various offshoots have taken us all back to Depeche Mode and The Cure era 80’s and synth-pop again entered the mainstream. Meanwhile, I’ve been waiting patiently for the 90’s to take the driver’s seat back.
It seems that the […]
Don’t get me wrong, I love Santogold. The singles I’ve heard are fun, upbeat dance tracks and I’m definitely looking forward to her first release later this month. But as the release date (April 29) draws closer, and Santogold gets more press I find myself going back to her day show at SXSW.
Santogold lip-synced at […]
