Days 2 | 3 | 4
Here are a few shots from the first day on Wednesday. Mostly street shots and one of Cut Copy, the best live act I’ve seen so far.
Cut Copy at Karma Lounge
It’s been a little while since we posted a song on here to get you hype - the last two weeks have been pretty downbeat. So, here’s a little something to get you over the Wednesday hump and ready for the dancefloor.
Like Los Angeles’ Guns ‘n’ Bombs and New York City’s Thieves Like Us, [...]
Austin natives The Mercers pop their NYC cherry next Thursday night at the Knitting Factory. CU and friends will be there getting in on the action, so be sure to grab your tickets and come join us.
Picking up where the late Choking Ahogo left off, The Mercers bring a fresh sound to the table, [...]
So I set out to listen to some of the daunting SXSW torrent last night (without the drinking), but was interrupted around 9:25 PM by a slew of gunfire followed by sirens and slight chaos outside my window. Being the concerned citizen that I am, I ventured outside after about 50 squad cars, vans, [...]
I didn’t have the time to make it to this year’s SXSW, I have one too many things going on with my life. Boo hoo. Fortunately, Nghia, Theo, and Paul (who has yet to post on this site) are representing CU down in Austin this year. I’m 100% convinced that they’ll be [...]
I have no clue how I missed Indian Jewelry last year. After hearing great things about their legendary live shows and finally getting around to listening to Invasive Exotics, I’m kicking myself for missing them back in December. For those of you heading out to SXSW this year, do your ears a big [...]
With Rothko closing their doors for a month or so to work on their Structural Violations, our Monthly Friction show has moved down the street to The Delancey. Get your tickets here!
What does this mean?
1. Same great bands - Ghostland Observatory, Favourite Sons, The Mugs, and DJ Gorgeous Undertow.
2. No asshole door [...]
After the incredible Record Release party with Rahim, we are continuing to bring the forefront of indie rock with an incredible show as part of the KEXP live from NYC: bringing bands from our beloved Texas and of course our favorite NY locals. CU is at it again with Texas-favorite Ghostland Observatory and [...]
It was released last week that Neil Young is coming out with a new album, Living with War, completed in 3 days and highlights his opposition to the Bush adminsitration, the war, and anything else bad happening in the world. Though there are only a few ears who have heard the tracks, it is [...]
If you’re from Texas and have a lawyer or an oiler in the family, you have most likely heard of Joe Jamail, the King of Torts, who is worth over $1 billion (the only lawyer on The List) having made his fortune as a plaintiffs’ lawyer in Texas, representing such cases and Pennzoil v. Texaco [...]
This year’s recap has taken me almost a month to write since we had such a festive time down in Austin (plus I never completely got around to write about it). It took a while for my heart to beat normally again and to gather my thoughts. Plus all the free Red Bull [...]
My very first SXSW trip was a blast, although I didn’t get to see every single band that I wanted to see (Band of Horses, What Made Milwaukee Famous, The Black Angels, and Stars of Track and Field - had keyboard issues), I caught a couple that I didn’t think I liked (read: Voxtrot). [...]
I was hoping to get all my SXSW recaps up by the end of the week, but I spent most of the week sleeping and recovering from last week’s festivities. Day 3 started off at Jane Magazine’s day party where I caught The M’s and Film School. Film School sounded good live, but [...]
