Austinist Show Preview: Li'l Cap'n Travis, Pink Nasty At The Continental Club, Tonight!

Li'l Cap'n Travis is one of those rare bands whose music transcends the trappings of abstractions such as "alt-country", "indie", or "Austin", eschewing any hint of pretension. We challenge you to bring to mind another band as effortlessly and legitimately rock as LCT, so quietly invincible against the corrosive influence of the scene beneath a down comforter of fundamentally kickass material, singing into the stale-beer smell through a sheepish grin. Pairing these dudes with a venue like The Continental Club is solid gold. The combo of one of Austin's most iconic, just-below-the-radar outfits with a South Congress - nay, Texas - institution is a win-win proposition and it's being proposed tonight.

Show up slightly earlier for local songstress Pink Nasty's loping, bittersweet ditties that prove, without a doubt, that she could kick Juliana Hatfield's ass while shotgunning a PBR tallboy and not break a sweat or spill a precious drop of beer. There's no better Friday evening in waiting anywhere else in fair city, unless you're planning on making out with Sandra Bullock on Mt. Bonnell in the back of a fluorescent purple El Camino. If this is the case, save it 'til after the show, Friskypants.
