Emo's is packing in approximately half of the bands in Austin this evening for a Bacchanalian orgy of rock and roll, Lone Star, and - with all due respect - poorly conceptualized tattoos. Silly tats aside, tonight is guaranteed to be a blowout, and whether you're looking to get familiar with some of the best indie that this town has to offer, or a long-time fan, you'll be sonically satiated come this evening. Here's the breakdown:

Outside, prehistoric prog-metalheads Cavedwellers open for locals The Strange Boys - who hearken back to Beck's early anti-folk insanity circa Stereopathetic Soul Manure. Dark psychedelia will ensue as The Black Angels close things off with their trance-inducing soundscapes.

Inside, kitschy hipster ponces The Laughing open for the Kim Gordon-inspired Ume, who will no doubt have the place nice and sweaty (with a tinge of headbanging neck pain) for the Lemurs, one of Austin's favorite power pop acts.

The lounge will have its own fair share of rock as Golden Bear, Mice & Rifles and the Mercers turn the corner lot into a regular rock'n'roll rhapsody. Everything kicks off at 8 PM tonight, so get washed up and head over for a full venue full of (most of) the best Austin has to offer.

Fill out the form for a chance to see the Black Angels on us tonight:

Congrats, winners!
