Austinist Show Preview: Nomo at Emo's with Loxsly

Put the number of a good chiropractor on speed dial, 'cause you're going to need it after tonight's Nomo show at Emo's. (Say that five times fast.) The Detroit-based groove machine builds futuristic afro-beats on a solid base of jazz and funk. Ghost Rock, the nine-person hip-swiveling collective's latest album, scored a sweetpants 8.3 from Pitchfork, and they'll likely be playing cuts from the record this afternoon at Waterloo during their 5:00 p.m. in-store.

Can't make it to Waterloo? Don't feel bad. Nomo's signature soul style is best enjoyed late into the night, and you'd be a fool to miss Austin's own Loxsly opening the Emo's show. Their thick, guitar-laden sleep-rock is ideal for groovers who need to get properly warmed up before cutting any rugs. It's an ideal combo for a hot Texas night down on Red River. Nomo? Oh yes!
