Let's begin our weekend preview with a curious gig at the Central Presbyterian Church tonight: Linen Closet, Lost River/Old River, and John Vinyard are all performing, starting at 8pm. We're talking about quiet, expansive music played in an intimate setting, and all for the suggested donation of $5. more ›

We were going to begin this weekend preview with a crack about how soon all music will turn into this for the duration of the year, but then we realized we made basically the exact same comment last week. So let's just skip it and start talking about what's going on in town this weekend. more ›

We have a lot of acts coming through town this week, maybe because it's that sweet spot right before Christmas turns everything into a winter wonderland and we break out The Beach Boys' Christmas Album. Yup, until then we have the Wu visiting Austin, a party for Misprint magazine, and a KVRX Holiday Show. Let's proceed. more ›

This weekend is flush with celebrations, fundraisers, tributes, and tons and tons of music...just like every other weekend. We'll start things off by wishing happy birthday to Emo's, which turns 19. They'll be partying inside tonight with the bands Big Business, Rusted Shut, Woodgrain, and Baron Grod. At La Zona Rosa, psychedelia makes a return with both The Black Angels and Black Mountain vying for the title of this generation's drone ambassador. more ›

What a weekend to be a fan of the arts - we have the wonderful East Austin Studio Tour exhibiting in everything from professional studios to living rooms all over the eastside. It's also a great weekend to be a nerd, as the Wizard World Comic Con hits the Austin Convention Center.

One of Austin’s best country-folk hardasses is playing a set this Friday before embarking on a big tour of the U.S and Canada. Scott H. Biram made waves as a super-loud one-man band, but an injury put him out of commission for some time. He’s been making a comeback as of late, doing a session with KAOS radio, a few scattered sets, and now this show at Room 710 before hitting the road. Biram is supporting his May Bloodshot records release, Something’s Wrong/Lost Forever. He’ll be performing with Pure Luck, Woodsboss, and Supersonic Uke. more ›
