Free Week in Austin tends to lean towards the garagey-est of Red River bands, but tonight’s showcase at Red 7 marches to a different beat. Make that a few different beats: the Austinist’s own Adi Anand and Austin Music Weekly present a bill that features a number of local up-and-comers while spanning the globe musically.

The Couch Album Release Party [Show Preview]
The Couch's album release of Old and Touchin' Blue serves as the welcome culmination of almost twenty months of hard work. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Lars Goransson, new record's journey began in February 2010 at the local Sounds Outrageous Studio. Since then, the group culled out the nine best songs and added the finishing touches. Two of the album's tracks are streaming on their website, revealing a streamlined approach to the group's traditional uptempo rock with bluesy undertones.
