Car Stereo (Wars) at Beauty Bar Saturday

Car Stereo (Wars) at Beauty Bar Saturday

The weather in Austin is finally cooling down and it’s going to be a great weekend to be out and about enjoying Austin’s finest music. One must-see show is Car Stereo (Wars) set at Beauty Bar on Saturday 9/20.
If you’re a fan of Girl Talk, CS(W) is for you.  However, CS(W) is the superior mixer in my opinion. Greg Gillis hasn’t mashed Ghostface Killer and Ghostland Observatory.
