We've just received word that Emo's has decided to cancel tonight's shows because of the unwavering ice storm. After two days of closure, we'd hoped to sled downtown and catch The Politics, She, Sir and Haunting Oboe inside the club proper and double-back to the lounge to attempt a glimpse of A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Weird Weeds and Ralph White, but alas. We're crossing our fingers that things start getting back to normal...

This show has been canceled due to the on-going ice storm. -ed. Emo's Lounge, in its relative infancy, has already come into its own as a indie-rock venue unafraid of breaking the mold to host more diverse acts.

Voxtrot started out as a channel for singer Ramesh Srivastava to vent his artistic talents. However, two EP’s and numerous successful shows later, Voxtrot has emerged as one of Austin’s most exciting prospects. Raised By Wolves and Mothers, Sisters, Daughters and Wives were both released on the band’s own label, Cult Hero, and served up delightful, introspective pop, fit for most dance floors. Srivastav’s vocal style and genuine lyrics reveal pure authenticity while the accompanying band’s tightly knit melodies provide able support. The band releases its much anticipated 3rd EP, Your Biggest Fan, on Beggars Group’s Playlouder Recordings on November 7. A full tour starts shortly before, and Austinist wants you at their gig in town on October 28th.
