Saturday Night Addendums: IV Thieves, Team Fab

If you're not heading over to the Parish tomorrow night after our party at Birds Barbershop, here are two excellent alternatives:

The IV Thieves -- that's "4," mind you -- formerly known as Nic Armstrong and the Thieves, returned to Austin a mere week ago after a whirlwind stateside tour supporting The Pretenders. Originally hailing from the tiny village in England of Nottingham, this lovable foursome now (mostly) call Central Texas their home. They'll be playing a set at Hole in the Wall in advance of their forthcoming LP, with riotous tracks like "You Can't Love What You Don't Understand" and "The Day Is A Downer." Between this and a possible appearance sometime during ACL, it's your last chance to check out these lads before they embark on their next UK tour.

If you're looking for a dance party, head over to Beauty Bar, where the designers of Team Fabrication and fashionistas from local boutique Strut are hosting "Dance & Design," a combination dance and fashion party propelled by the turntable wizards of We Explode! and Car Stereo (Wars). Also be sure to check out CS(W)'s excellent new mashup of the theme song to The O.C. and Fat Lip's "What's Up Fatlip," plus their older track mixing Ghostland Observatory and Ghostface Killer -- entitled, appropriately, Ghostface Observatory:

Car Stereo (Wars) - What's Up California?
