Weekend Music Preview: Xemumba, Prince Nite, & The UFO Experience

Xemumba at The Mohawk should keep you busy on both Friday and Saturday (read our preview here) but if that doesn't tickle your fancy, there are quite a few other choices to be made during another busy weekend in Austin. On Friday, The Roller and New Disaster rock Room 710 and Headhunters respectively while Jana Hunter serenades inside at Emo's and Tokyo Police Club electrifies the outside stage at the same venue. Besides its usual tasty Tejas BBQ, Stubb's offers up two of United Kingdom's finest noise makers, Mogwai and Fuck Buttons, also on Friday. California's Samiam does double duty in town this weekend, providing a plethora of punk anthems to Red 7 on Friday and Saturday. Finally, Friday goes Golden at Scoot Inn with The Golden Boys and at Beauty Bar with Golden Bear; the latter show is headlined by Oklahoma's Evangelicals.

There are two noteworthy events on Saturday. Foot Patrol rightfully headline RubyRico Productions' Prince Nite at Scoot Inn with a portion of the proceeds going to the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. On Red River St., Beerland hosts The UFO Experience (presented by Bleu French Laundry Productions and inspired by the UFO Club) featuring Cavedweller, Tia Carrera, and Shapes Have Fangs, along with a special performance by The Black Angels' Christian Bland (accompanied this evening by Woven Bones). Dr. Dog and The Delta Spirit at The Parish, and Basic and Plutonium Farmers at Carousel Lounge are further options on Saturday.

Shows this weekend may be canceled due to inclement weather.
