Tuesday Inside – Tennessee's James Jackson Toth brings it one-man-singer/songwriter style. Just right for drinkin' whisky, old school, 1800's type whisky. Opening is Duchess & the Duke, bringing back that garage folk we fell in love with last time. Restaurant begin the evening at 10.
Wednesday Outside Doors @ 7pm
Xiu Xiu just can't get enough Mohawk, and you can't get enough Xiu Xiu. That makes for a magical evening under the stars. And it's only Wednesday! Stick around for the after-party with Austin's Death Is Not A Joyride on the inside stage.
Thursday Inside and Outside@10pm:
We've got a killer local line-up with Brazos and White Denim. Listen for high-energy, post-punk coming from the boys in bleached Canadian tuxes, and float slowly back to Earth with the soothing sounds of Brazos' folk. Zookeeper and Peel kick things off.
Friday Inside @10pm:
Let The Real Heroes bring you out this Friday night. Think pop rock'n'roll with just enough edge to remind you we're on Red River. It's good. And from what we can tell, they seem to have a lot of very attractive friends, so come hang out with us, The Real Heroes, and the pretty people... see you there!
Saturday Outside @9pm:
I could probably come up with something to say about Monroe Mustang, but hell, let's let the writers have it. From your very own free weekly, the Chronicle:
Monroe Mustang
The Imaginary Band, Regretfully Declines
Improbably so, Monroe Mustang shuffled ahead of the herd. From early Floyd through Low, sleepy, often methodically precise lo-volume pop fills in the footprints of louder classicism. Central Texas' mid-1990s movement – American Analog Set, Windsor for the Derby, and Austin's imaginary fivepiece, Monroe Mustang – carved out an intimate niche now standardized by digital independence. The return of the Chronicle-funded songwriting cell (three members currently employed by the paper and a fourth off in France) arrives on the download-only just in time to pad around in the early morning without waking the rest of the household. Imaginary Band acts as a decade-in-the-making follow-up to 1998 Trance Syndicate debut LP Plain Sweeping Themes for the Unprepared and joins 2000 EP I Am the Only Running Footman and succeeding live set De Avonden with a carefully chorded jangle, each note just so. Brian Barry's sensitive stir rustles his fellow forest gnomes ..er "The Other Side," organ riding the muted plod of snare. Taylor Holland's note-wringing "Fenced In" opens into the narcotic flutter of "Found Out," while the bang-the-drum (quietly) march of "Calling for Kings" segues into side two's opener, the gorgeous "Marie Antoinette" ("take the lift up to the scaffold"), which crowns the proceedings like Le Roi Soleil. The second half doesn't hold the listener's breath nearly as compelling as the first, but the brooding playhouse "Stars and Flags" and "Waiting" ("hell is waiting for you"), whose steel-string build moves from single-digit ornery to aluminum-sided rattle, demonstrates that even imaginary bands must play on. (Raoul Hernandez)
Sounds good, right? Bombazine Black, and Audrey Lapraik open.
