Austin Sound Check

This Week in Austin | Rancid, Lisa Loeb, Shearwater, Bavu Blakes & More

by Ana Wolken on June 9th, 2008

This week’s recommended shows run the gamut of genres. However, 90’s throwback of the week goes to Lisa Loeb, who is performing at Cactus Cafe on Wednesday. It was a close contest between Ms. Loeb and Rancid. Lisa won in the end, due to a more intimate venue and cheaper ticket prices.

I know I’m not the only one trying to save a few bucks these days, so if you’re so inclined check out two free performances this week. First, on Wednesday at 5pm, you can catch a free instore by Shearwater at Waterloo Records. Bavu Blakes will also be giving it out for free at his show on Friday at Austin City Hall Plaza. If you can’t get to Bavu Blakes’ ACL performance in September, be sure and make it out to this one.
