Our photographer Chad Wadsworth saw quite a bit of music this weekend. Maybe you and yours were out in the crowd during this verdant installment of ACL? more ›

Gavin Rosedale and company showed up last night to sweat it out with a sold out crowd at Stubbs. The ladies were swooning and the dudes fist pumping as Bush powered through their '90s megahits as well as new tunes off of their upcoming album, The Sea of Memories. Austinist photographer Chad Wadsworth dropped some water weight in the photo pit to bring us these images. more ›

Centro-matic and Sarah Jaffe played the Mohawk outdoors last night, and Chad Wadsworth caught it for us. more ›

Fleet Foxes are having something of a cultural moment right now. This show was sold out months before the release their second album, Helplessness Blues, which has garnered eye-popping reviews from just about everyone and placed them in that rarefied space wherein an indie band can chart on Billboard, have their album streamed by NPR*, and sell out major venues while still maintaining a level of hip cache and critical adulation. Animal Collective, Arcade Fire, Grizzly Bear and Vampire Weekend are among the other bands there. It doesn't hurt that there is nothing offensive whatsoever about Fleet Foxes: they're a young, attractive band with, for better or worse, a modest, folk-hippie style that matches their gorgeous and heartwarming folk-rock music; music that is obviously the result of oodles of talent meeting with painstaking craftsmanship. Something to be held up, admired, and appreciated. more ›

Last night LCD Soundsystem rewarded a packed Stubb’s crowd with a set both captivating and occasionally profound—if this is old man music, then old men are awesome as hell. Leading off with a one-two punch of “Us and Them” and new single “Drunk Girls” (was its earliness in the set proof even they think it’s somewhat ridiculous?), and calling out Facebook during “Pow Pow,” James Murphy and his band played a tight, energetic set only infrequently punctuated by banter. Now if only some of that banter hadn’t suggested that, quite possibly, the new album is their last, and that they plan on hanging it up next year…that couldn’t be true, could it? more ›

It's the same old shit every year: eat too much turkey (or Tofurkey for all y'all vegetarians out there). Watch football with smelly misogynist Uncle Larry. Listen to Cousin Lou complain about his goiter. Stare at Aunty Pearl as she licks the cat. But this year, break the cycle. You can start by going to a rap show! more ›
