If you've got some juice left in you after the Hallow's Eve wackiness tonight -- and really, you should, it's not like you're going to run around all night TPing houses or something -- get your get up and go going to Antone's for the Mountain Goats and Kaki King show. ...

Pseudosix Pseudosix (Sonic Boom) Pseudosix began as Tim Perry's solo project, but quickly became a group effort with Emil Amos (Grails, Dolorean), Joe Kelly, and a handful of other local, talented friends. The band has written and recorded with pals from Joggers, Decemberists and The Standard in their relatively short existence, but the impetus has been barreling towards this release since back in the day when Perry wrestled with the nerve to perform live,......

Paul McCartney - Memory Almost Full The problem with rock legends, assuming they live past 30, is that they are held to such high standards. But for Sir Paul McCartney, age 65, such standards exist nowhere if not in his own driven psyche. In the past two years, he has released a politely (read: coolly) received acoustic album, Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, performed an extravagantly surreal rendition of "Yesterday" with Jay-Z at the......

We try not to be fanatics about stuff, but John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats totally does it for us. He's smart, he's nice, and he's lo-fi (well, decreasingly so, but the sentiment is there).

A while back they released Anything Else But the Truth, a fiesty album of......

As the Austinist walked a deserted street downtown last night, we wondered just how many would attend a mid-week concert at Emo's after the overload of SXSW. The crowd that greeted us surpassed our expectations. The Mountain Goats have brought Austin's music scene back to life after only three days of rotting in a cave. After a "surprisingly good" poem about vodka, Jesus, and George Jones, The Mountain Goats began their late-night set on......
