Cult Night at Alamo Lakecreek - Wilco Will Love You, Baby

They’ve started a major summer tour, The Album is set to drop in just a few days and they’ve released an engaging and enjoyable DVD of live concert footage and behind the scenes band interaction. Wilco is on a roll, people, and if you’re really excited about that, then you belong at the Lake Creek Alamo on Thursday night.

Not only will Wilco Live: Ashes of American Flags be honored as this week’s Cult Night selection, fans in attendance will have the chance to win fabulous Wilco-themed prizes, snag Waterloo Records coupons and enjoy the closest thing to a Wilco show that Austin may have this year. (Sadly, this hard-working band has no scheduled stops in Central Texas within the foreseeable future).

The film is now available on DVD, but seeing it on the big screen is doubtlessly worthwhile. Ashes was shown at the Alamo Ritz a couple of months ago - selling out both nights, by the way - and we can tell you with certainty that watching Jeff Tweedy and the gang as they expertly tear it up is an experience best enjoyed alongside your geeky/cool sonic soul mates. Admission is free, the beers are cold and seating is limited. See you there, friends.
