Image from Team Fabrication’s MySpace Emo’s is just one of the places you could be this Friday evening. Local experimental act, The Octopus Project released their latest full-length, Hello, Avalance on Peek-A-Boo Records last month and will be providing nuggets of electronic mayhem from the new album and past releases, no doubt. Cue and Horse+Donkey round off this bill of unique Austin acts on the outside stage. Inside at Emo’s, Those Peabodys will be on......

You know about the big show tonight at Stubb’s already. There’s a little bonus at the end for the attendees (and anyone else for that matter!) -- Austin’s own Peel will bring in the early hours of Saturday. The band will present its indie-pop goodies inside at the venue immediately after Sonic Youth is done outdoors. Peel’s self-titled full-length debut can be purchased via their website or from their label, Peek-A-Boo Records. Peel: [official]......

Providing hours and hours of entertainment to the city of Austin daily, KOOP 91.7 FM requests you to join them this evening at The Scoot Inn for a multi-talented line-up of local acts. And all for a mere five bucks of your hard earned money for all the fun. Not bad a deal, we think. Hosted specifically by Now Playing Austin (which airs every Thursday at 6 p.m.), headliners on the night include Peel and......

The Octopus Project can be classified as one of the most eclectic acts in town. Their brand of post electro-rock is exciting enough for us although some of their eccentric concoctions have raised a few eyebrows. The band is adept at their trade, combining beats, melodies, and an assortment of sounds in a highly complex yet exhilarating fashion. They headline tomorrow night’s Peek-A-Boo Records showcase which promises to be a quality night of local music.......

Another special night of local music beckons Friday at the baby Emo’s (Lounge). Headlining will be fast rising favorites Golden Bear, featured recently as the Artist Of The Day by Spin Magazine, while fellow Austinites Peel celebrate the release of their self-titled debut out now on Peek-A-Boo Records. Sandwiched between the two are the Midgetmen who specialize in beer infused punk n’ roll fit to kick off any weekend, or week-day for that matter.......

This Friday the 13th may finally be known for something more than a retired 80's horror movie franchise. Peek-a-Boo Records and the Beauty Bar have teamed up for a grandiose CD release party of Peel's debut album. The self-titled work has been heralded as a truly magnificent work as their songs roar with a joyful noise of youth's enthusiasm and colorful complex orchestrations. Along with Peel are a couple of the best bands Austin......

Austin-based Peel have been together since late 2004, and Austinist writers have recommended that you catch their show for almost two years! A youthful blend of indie pop with noisy drums, keyboards, and multiple vocalists, Peel wouldn't sound at all out of place on late 80's college radio. Their self-titled debut album finally arrives in early April. Last week, we spoke to Peel's Allison Moore about favorite bands, dive bars, and the business of......

The Austin Music Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to uniting and serving our local music community, puts together a big seminar every couple of months called Music Industry Boot Camp (MIBC). Since 2002, MIBCs have been familiarizing our local musicians -- a group to which half of you reading this probably belong -- into the various and sundry business aspects of the tumultuous, sleazy, and overstimulated world of the music industry. Whether it's the 1-2-3s......

Having played an outrageously amazing show at Coachella after winning a MySpace contest they didn't even know about, Austin's The Octopus Project are coming back to their hometown this Saturday to headline at Emo's outside, with Loxsly, Gil Mantera's Party Dream and Featherweight Burden. The trio's been busy these past few months: they played a bunch of well-received shows back at SXSW (prompting Rolling Stone's David Fricke to name them one of his standout bands......

This Saturday night, Peel will be sharing some stage with The Happy Bullets (Oak Cliff, TX), Caspian (by way of Boston), and This Will Destroy You (San Marcos – holla!) at Beerland. All we have to say is: Peel better play Oxford, because that song is the total shit. It also appears that hometown playas, Peel, are working with Peek a Boo Records (see their profile here). Rumor has it that they already self-produced......

Peel, Austinist's favorite dysfunctional Austinites - in a band, that is - share the stage at Emo's tonight with Cry Blood Apache, The Carrots, DJ Jennifer (of KOOP's Ear Candy), and - last, but most certainly not least - Voxtrot. The quintet just recently signed with local label Peek-A-Boo Records (The Octopus Project, Palaxy Tracks), and (we're hoping) will eventually get around to releasing a full-length album - it's tentatively titled Vehslage, the origins of......

Austin City Limits is pretty nifty, we'll admit. But let's face it: the lineup for Coachella, ACL's glammed-up West Coast sibling in the desiccated wastelands near Joshua Tree, has all but reigned supreme these last few years. And this year, they're at it again; earlier this week they announced the full roster for the two-day festival, to be headlined this year by Depeche Mode (huzzah!) and ... Tool (huh?). The entire lineup: Saturday, April......
