Austinist Show Preview: KOOP Benefit at The Scoot Inn
Providing hours and hours of entertainment to the city of Austin daily, KOOP 91.7 FM requests you to join them this evening at The Scoot Inn for a multi-talented line-up of local acts. And all for a mere five bucks of your hard earned money for all the fun. Not bad a deal, we think. Hosted specifically by Now Playing Austin (which airs every Thursday at 6 p.m.), headliners on the night include Peel and Horse+Donkey. The former was recently featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered and their label (Peek-A-Boo Records) has helpfully linked the show through their website. One can also stream the new self-titled Peel record from the same.
Peel’s infectious pop-rock will be preceded by the apocalyptic drone of Horse+Donkey and indie-rock from Diagonals. (Have to mention that Wiley Wiggins is a band member of the latter!) The wonderfully named Notorious H.E.B. (a-k-a John Erler from KOOP’s Elk Mating Ritual Show, as well as Master Pancake Theater) mixes and mashes the beats inside at midnight.
