Austinist Show Preview: New Year's Eve @ Spider House

Spider House and the United States Art Authority, along with yours truly, want to keep you away from downtown this New Year’s Eve. Sure the shenanigans on 6th St. is always stirring but keeping within the cozy confines of the campus area is arguably safer and largely less expensive. Spider House hosts a solid line-up of DJ’s with a couple of live acts thrown in for good measure. Doors are at 8 p.m. and the $12 tickets can be purchased in advance via Front Gate Tickets.

Come early to kick things off with Manolo Black, aka Trey Lopez, who took home the “Best DJ” award at the 2002 Austin Music Awards, and DJ Scandalizer, who is on double duty this evening. Tony Scandalizer, a member of Toko-Ri Get High, spins the beats solo before taking up the bass for a stroll down psychedelia with his band. Retro is also the name of the game for lovable local act The Carrots. The act’s delightful harmonies and easy-on-the-ears melodies might be plucked out of the '60s but are sure to enhance spirits and mend hearts on New Year’s Eve, 2007.

Chris Rose, or Car Stereo (Wars), will ensure 2008 kicks off right, with a barrage of dance floor ready material that includes a fair share of samples and mash-ups, no doubt. Happy New Year!
