Don't miss the I Heart MJ Party featuring Who’s Bad, The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band w/ DJ Mel at Stubb's. Go here for more details

Au Revoir Simone’s signature sound is created with three vintage Casios, a drum machine, and silky vocals producing melancholy yet frank harmonies. All of these sound wrapped in gauze, creating the effect of an impressionist statement in which, despite the almost military crispness of their lyrics, there are no sharp edges to be found.

Where to begin? If you read the title of this post and didn't pee a little, then either you're: A) a ledger-blind CPA in your mid-to-late 50s, B) a dimension-traveling psychic man-child just beginning to understand our culture, or C) a very lucky Austin resident about to have more new favorite bands than you know what to do with.

If Emo's was Public Radio, tonight's event would be the This American Life on their show schedule. Or Radiolab, depending on your flavor. It's that good, and that cheap.

On the off chance that Jesus Lizard jazz and R&B songs about sucking toes aren’t your thing, Emo’s Lounge has the rock-oriented antidote. Our own Oh No! Oh My! might be the biggest draw, what with their jovial, hummable tracks and cutesy name that demands to be said out loud, loudly. The band are promising a summer EP, which should jive swimmingly with their sun-loving sound, and an LP is also supposedly in the works. Hey, maybe these guys have a harder edge than we thought…their merch is too tough for Six Flags, anyway.
