This Week in Austin | Built By Snow, Sleepercar, Portugal. The Man
by 
Ana Wolken on July 14th, 2008
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 Emo’s on Wednesday. It seems to be an Emo’s themed week, because on Friday there is yet another good show featuring Wasilla, AK natives Portugal. The Man.
Saturday I’ll be in New Braunfels, seeing Ghostland Observatory play WhiteWater. If you didn’t get your hands on a ticket before it sold out, there’s some great music in Austin, as usual. ACL artist Dan Dyer is playing a pretty intimate set at Cactus Cafe.
Also, don’t forget to enter for your chance at a pair of tickets to see Devin the Dude at The Parish on 8/1. More info here.
