There are good roadshows and local shows alike this week. Built By Snow is a local favorite who are very reminiscent of early Weezer/ The Rentals. Fitting then, that they are playing with Calamity Magnet, with features Sarah Radle, formerly of Rentals fame.
At The Drive-In/Sparta veteran Jim Ward is bringing his new project, Sleepercar, to […]
Local geek rockers Built By Snow are opening for Sarah Radle’s new project, Calamity Magnet, at Emo’s on Monday 7/14. Radle is a former member of Weezer offshoot The Rentals, whom Built By Snow covers quite awesomely.
Although Calamity Magnet most likely won’t be playing any Rentals tunes, I can almost guarantee that Built By Snow […]
This Saturday at Guero’s The Loyalty Firm presents First Day of Summer Festival. The show is 100% free and just happens to be at one of the best upscale taco joints in Austin. Be sure and get there early and see Built by Snow and then stick around for The Boxing Lesson. Full lineup and […]

I know gas is getting expensive, so if you’re a Shearwater fan, save a few bucks […]
This month on the b5 Music Channel we’re recommending two tracks for you to download. I’m picking two tracks from bands you may not have heard of before, both from right here in the Live Music Capitol of the World. Full Service’s Blueberry Farm and Underneath from Built By Snow.
Full Service released a new album, […]
SXSW Day 3 got off to a late start, but I caught Flosstradamus opening for Santogold. Disappointing wasn’t even the right word for these two acts. Flosstradamus consisted of two guys with laptops. I saw turntables up there, but I didn’t see them used. Call me old school, but computers do not a musician make. […]
