Moth!Fight! are a band who have had a much longer gestation period than most of their peers, a time in which one can assume songwriter and “conductor” Kevin Adickes painstakingly perfecting both the rumpled antique aesthetics that dominate his band’s look, performances and sound – the latter of which calls to mind both the inspired trippy noise-pop of The Olivia Tremor Control, but which also speaks in the lexicon of the band’s clear, more current......

Austinist has just returned from a romp around Auditorium Shores, one of Austin’s leashless dog parks, where we were greeted by an interesting display. We’d heard about the Coexistence Exhibit, but what with all the debauchery (and subsequent recovery) these last few weeks we hadn’t made it down to see it just yet. The Museum on the Seam, an organization in Jerusalem, produced the exhibit that is in Austin through the month of May. It’s......
