Preview: Danny Malone @ Stubb's Saturday

There are so many singer/songwriters in Austin that it would take a team of primates working 50-hour weeks just to keep up with the updates. So, it’s easy to see how you might not know about Danny Malone yet. He plays heart-aching, melodic songs on his guitar with the help of Heidi Johnson and Matt Server. His young voice quaking with emotion is at its best when paired with Johnson’s in a layered chorus with both voices complementing one another and producing a sound that isn’t too far from The Anniversary. His songs range from just him and a guitar to a full rock band. Some are sugary, relationship pop songs, and then there are those like “Basement” which is a kind of creepy, kind of sad tune about keeping your dead loved ones in your basement so you don’t have to be alone.

Malone’s been planning on releasing a new album for a while now and has apparently finished it, so keep a look out. He performs at dive bars, house shows and even Stubb’s inside. He’ll be playing at the latter Saturday night alongside The Eastern Sea with their haunting, melodic indie rock with the occasional sax and trombone and Jude/Ross’ melodic, Jonathan Richman-style pop.
