Oh yes, there is alot to do on this Thursday night. UPDATE: Peter and the Wolf, Sunset, The Eastern Sea, and Silent Diane are all playing from 9-11 tonight at Baby Blue Studios (1522 E 12th)! This is alot of music for a $5 beer donation! + DJing by Dan Gentile in between sets. GOD WHY AM I WORKING LATE WHY WHY WHY
The ever awesome WWLs open up for the Lemurs tonight at Mohawk. You know this will be super magical.
And lo, a "dance party"/hang out session at Primo's. Come fill yourself with $2 Tecate and take in a really nifty variety of musics. SPREADING EVER EASTWARD: WE WILL NOT STOP TIL WE REACH THE OCEAN. EVEN THEN, WE WILL ONLY PAUSE TO BUY BOATS. I digress. This is gonna be fun.
I really messed up about letting you know that you should RSVP for this for cheap tickets, but after all, it's only a $2 difference. You'll survive. If you know who My Cousin Roy is, you know that this show will be amazed/guessing. Primo stuff here.
And yet another show featuring some fun local talent. Cheers!
This weekend is like your high school valedictorian that went to Harvard: it has no excuse not to be great. OK, that was weak, but seriously, even if you're chronologically challenged, there are still plenty of house parties and other such things to keep you busy til the wee hours. I will not post them here, because where's the fun in that. If I had to spend all night hunting for disappearing ghost parties when I was your age (ok, I'm only 22, but still), then so do you.
Four flavors of local indie rock for your listening pleasurfication. May I suggest you try the waffle cone. Yay! Eastern Sea is at Emo's! Go team, go!
Here there be free vodka til 11. The only kicker is that only females are allowed to access it. IIf wearing a dress or getting a sex change sounds like too much of an effort, I bet one of your gal pals would be willing to send some of it your way so long as you ask nicely.
Party AND Bullshit!? DJ Blake Brandon, you just blew my mind. Come dance to ear candy from some of the best, nicest, and best dressed DJs around; on a bridge. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of a bridge show, just know they are awesome. This one will be especially good. Happy birthday, Blake!
ZIN BIN's good pals at the Eastern Sea institute for good music bring said good music to a fancy BBQ joint. Eat a piece of cow for me, guys.
The Pump Project (702 Shady Ln) is hosting Cantanker's Issue 8 : Anxiety, Exhibition + Catalog Release tonight from 7-10. An anxiety themed release/art party seems almost too appropriate. A+ DO THIS.
All good things... but have no fear, Prepmode will be back with a brand new Saturday weekly in exactly 7 days. Hopefully you can wait that long. If you can't, start a Tumblr. Believe me, it will consume all your free time/make you not notice entire days going by.
The Fifth Gallery presents a vinyl record/DJ themed exhibit. I have not seen any digital captures of the art itself, but if you're looking for something low key to do earlier, this is probably a safe bet for beer and crackers. Enjoy!
And in its continuing drive to become my favorite place ever, Cheer Up Charlies (E 6th and Waller) is hosting"'Dad Rock' tonight kids from Brooklyn spin classic rock. Film: rosanne, married with children and alf. PBR and coconuts!!" New classic combos await the finding.
Hit the ground running with a photo exhibition by some of Austin's best and nicest photographers. In addition to all the pretty pictures, you get DJ musics by Hobo D and DJ Boozwa and band musics by King Dong. Mix in stand up laughings from Albert Im, Bryan Gutmann, and Doug Mellard, and you have good way to start your night. For sure. It's at the Art Authority, which means that the free things that usually accompany an art show will not be free, but it runs slightly later than the average art show, ie til midnight.
A show featuring music by ZinBin's good pals at the Eastern Sea, 3-D visuals, and oh yeah, Fulton Read. I don't talk up the Eastern Sea enough, but the stuff they've put together is really top notch. Talented folks.
A good time for a good cause. Cipher Austin will be accepting donations of blank CDRs, pens, and notebooks, so bring an armload.
This week's guest is So Sweet Record's in house guru, Eli Smith. A+
And DJ BOOTYGATOR and co are taking over Hush Lounge tonight. Cheap drinks, plus, if you get tired of the amazing combos of new and old wonderfulness that BOOTYGATOR throws around like it's no big deal, you can go downstairs and be edified by radio hip hop. It's a full cultural experience.
If, like myself, you're working late tonight, you've still got a golden opportunity to get your dance party/free drinking on. In addition to local heroes Dubbel Dutch and Teenage Wolf, Italian masterminds Blatta and Inesha are there to light up Music Gym 'til 4 in the AM. Tour mix (here). They play another set earlier at Beauty Bar, if you want the full effect. Fun fun fun
and that means much much to talk about. Let's start with some things happening today that slipped my mind The fine folks at parts and labor are celebrating their reopening with beer, vodka, and clothes/various artifacts created by local designers/artists. I was never aware that they were closed, but it's a good thing they're back. I'm a big fan of the New Bohemia and Parts & Labor family, so go out and give them some love from me while I'm at work And all the way from the exotic landscape of Oklahoma City, WILDLIFE brings you Kids at the Bar! As always, it's happening at Barcelona. WILDLIFE is everywhere these day, no? Good for them No idea what this is really, but it's $5 for some live music and all the really tasty coffee you can afford. And Anglophilia abounds at Elysium: I wonder if anyone will have the nerve to play Elastica. Prepare to hear music from Manchester
FRIDAY COMES LIKE A LION My good pals in the Eastern Sea are doing a live recording! That's cool! I remember back in the day when Matt was playing by himself, with just a guitar, a tape recorder, and a dream - er talent. You get the idea. It's always goo to see an old friend doing well. If you're interested, facebook event page is here And back with a new color scheme, it's the weekly TGIF party. Looks like a familiar slew of talented gentlemen will be providing the musics
SATURDAY The White White Lights are opening for UME at La Zona Rosa. Highly recommended! More people I know making music. I'm hugely biased, but whatever. The WWLs are only getting better. I hear tell there's a $5 cover, but you can dodge it if you RSVP. Lots of house parties on Saturday, but for the sake of preserving friendships, I can't say more. Text me if you know me
More to come! Happy birthday to everyone! Congratulations!
The ever awesome WWLs open up for the Lemurs tonight at Mohawk. You know this will be super magical.
