Free Week rolls on at Emo’s cozy inside area this Thursday with two of Austin’s most promising bands. Ume made many a new fan with its six-string powered assault early on day two at Fun Fest 2008. Singer and guitarist Lauren Larson is as much a rock goddess on stage as she is a sweet lass off it, and the rhythm section, comprised of Larson’s husband Eric on bass and Jeff Barrera on drums, more than holds its own, sustaining the band’s finely crafted rock explosions impeccably. We’re anticipating a landmark year for the trio in 2009.

Although the quantity of quality road shows in town does slow down during the holiday season, we are fortunate to reside in a city that constantly craves, and in turn, supplies a generous amount of live music covering all genres to its citizens every weekend. This Saturday, head over to Scoot Inn and enjoy Latin flavored funk courtesy of Brownout! Surely you’d like to congratulate the members of the collective, who also do double duty as Grupo Fantasma, in person at the show. The crew was recently nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album” category for GF’s Sonidos Gold record.
