Though you can listen to the upcoming Midlake record The Courage of Others at NPR, we think it's a lot more fun to get together with friends, have a couple beers, and give away some vinyl when we do a listening party. That's why we're teaming up with WOXY again for another listening party at the Scoot Inn on February 2 at the Scoot Inn. Join us! more ›

Today, we're happy to announce that in February, Austinist, WOXY and Matador will present a three night music extravaganza at Beerland to celebrate the January release of Casual Victim Pile.

Power 92 isn't the only Internet station to find a home in Austin. In September of 2009, Ohio's WOXY.com moved to South Austin. WOXY broadcasts 24/7 and concentrates on independent rock and roll. more ›

Has it really been almost two years since Vampire Weekend captured our hearts with their addictive debut album? The memories of a jam-packed, sold out show at The Mohawk in late 2007 and the ensuing SXSW gigs the following year are still vivid in our minds. Well, there’s good news for fans of the New York band -- they’re back and plan to release their sophomore effort, Contra next month. Austinist and WOXY.com proudly present the Listening Party for the new record on January 12th at Scoot Inn. Get all the details on WOXY’s blog and RSVP for a chance to win a copy of the “Cousins” 7" or a remix CD. Whet your appetite with the video for “Cousins” via YouTube and fall in love all over again.

Jeans fitting a little tight today? No matter, it’s going to be a night for leggings and baggy sweaters at Stubbs, as Neon Indian serves up a heaping platter of homemade love songs to the fuzzed-out series of dream sequences known as the 80s. Psychic Chasms was released just last month, and it already feels like a classic. The album marries 80s analog allure with up-to-the-minute dexterity of melodic layering, and Alan Palomo delivered it already broken in and ready to wear anytime you crave a little less focus, a little more misspent youth. more ›

We’ll admit it. We’re still not fully recovered from the mud-a-thon that was this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival. And the 2009 Fun Fun Fun Fest, which has us licking our chops in anticipation, is still a few weeks away. Just when we thought it was safe to stay home for the weekend, a look at the line-up in store for us at The Mohawk has done away with any such feeble notions. Yes, the redoubtable Red River St. venue is home to three amazingly appealing nights of raucous rock ‘n’ roll all weekend. more ›
