Austinist Weekend Music Preview: Tom Waits Hoot Night and Ringo Deathstarr EP Release

No signs of legends slowing down in other parts of town -- Joe Ely brings his old school honky tonk to Antone’s while former Continental Club mainstay Toni Price (now living in San Diego) takes the stage at the venue that for so long hosted her beloved “hippie hour.” Round off your night at the Beauty Bar with recent Fun Fun Fun Fest DJ Prince Klassen and California’s Egyptian Lover (a-k-a Greg Broussard). Broussard has been furnishing beats at parties for over two decades now although he only started touring a few years ago. He released Platinum Pyramids in 2006 on his own Egyptian Empire Records while Pyramix II dropped earlier this year. For those occupied elsewhere this night, Egyptian Lover will also perform at Backspin Records earlier in the evening at 7:30 p.m.

Still partying? Saturday promises the eagerly anticipated Ringo Deathstarr EP release bash at Club DeVille. After their recent opening gig for The Dandy Warhols at La Zona Rosa on Halloween night, the band launches their new recordings to the masses with able support from fellow Beaumont transplants La Snacks, and Haunting Oboe Music, who stole the show at the do512 Halloween Party. If you haven’t had enough Stich during the day, make your way to The Mohawk for the After-Party or quirk up your evening with prunk from Lick Lick and Hug at the former’s CD release show at Room 710. If only for a live version of the latter’s “Don’t Shoot The President.” Swinging west of Congress St.? The eclectic collective that is White Ghost Shivers transforms Antone’s into a dance hall for the night. Or drive up to Cactus Cafe and jog up some memories with Issa (Jane Siberry), who surely touched most of us with her contribution (“It Can’t Rain All The Time”) to 1994’s cult-classic movie and soundtrack, The Crow. Godspeed and safe travels.
