Magic Castles

2012-01-27T01:52:00.010-06:00

Magic Castles is a psychedelic folk-rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota.; Formed in 2006, the band self-released their first three albums before catcing the attention of Anton Newcombe (Brian Jonestown Massacre), who will release the band's eponymous double album through his ‘a’ Records imprint on March 20th, 2012. The band is also slated to join Brian Jonestown Massacre on an East Coast tour of the United States in 2012.

Inspired by the sounds of Spacemen 3, Skygreen Leopards, and Galaxie 500, Magic Castles employ warm Farfisa drones, hazy guitars, and bright vocal harmonies to craft songs that shift between traditional form and stretched-out, slowly unwinding passages. More often than not the band takes a journey-is-better-than-the destination approach, lyrically concerned with trolls, golden birds, and other mythical creatures.

Graveyard + Radio Moscow + Eagle Claw at Mohawk

2012-01-24T23:50:00.002-06:00

Graveyard is the Swedish offspring of bands parents were warning their kids about in the 70s. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, the band formed in 2000 when Swedish doom/stoner outfit Norrsken split up and gave birth to two new bands - Graveyard, and Witchcraft. The quartet features Rikard Edlund (bass), Axel Sjöberg (Drums), Joakim Nilsson (Guitar/Vocals), and Jonathan Ramm (Guitar/Vocals). Their albums resurrect the sounds of 70’s psychedelic rock, channeling Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and the Stones:

Graveyard is currently touring the states with support from Radio Moscow, who I've mentioned previously. At the onset of the tour Radio Moscow frontman Parker Griggs caught a guitar to the face, requiring a trip to the hospital and 14 stitches to the forehead:

Here is Graveyard bassist Rikard Edlund removing Griggs' stitches:

Video: Cartright - "Jass Song"

2012-01-24T01:53:00.001-06:00

Cartright recently released their first music video, and it's one hell of a trip. The band shot the video for "Jass Song" about 6 months ago with Alex Nguyen at their house in Austin. The original idea was conceived by drummer Nick Cornetti, which then evolved into a swirling, mushroom-induced excursion of the mind. The leading lady role was donated by India Gail (who bartends at Cheer Up Charlies), and front man Ben Russell plays the fellow going out of his mind. Russell is also the mind behind the band’s artwork:

You can get the "Jass Song" 7'' on limited edition red vinyl with a poster print of the cover art at cartrightmusic.com.

If you're unfamiliar with Cartright, here is a summarized band bio:

Ben Russell leads the quintet with a beaten-down acoustic guitar, finger-picked with a rare level of drunk precision, and he shouts his pleas of aggressive reluctance--a man lost in his Southern youth but unafraid to face it--through a sweat-soaked mess of hair and beard. The Cornetti brothers three on bass, piano, and drums, along with lead guitarist Casey, are a pack of howlers and stompers. Together with Lou’s subtle necessity, Nick’s drumstick crescendos, and the rowdy dialects of Joe’s organ they stagger in time with broken rhythms blanketed by sleeves of noise.

It's easy to see why the young band already draws a cult fanbase; the easiest comparison point is Lucero, as both acts lean toward country-rock with a love for war-torn, cigarette-stained vocals. But where Lucero sticks to a harder, narrower path, Cartright leaves its swinging bar doors open to the acoustic exploration of folk, the erratic tempo changes of post-rock and the passion, the arrangements and the willful repetition that mark the best in the worlds of blues and gospel.

"Cartright is what pirates and murderers use to lull themselves to sleep." -AVCLUB

"The band’s shows feel more like tent revivals than rock shows, with a healthy quantity of whiskey in place of holy water." -AUSTINIST

Last year’s setting, The Seaholm Power Plant was an epic setting for APF 2011, and it’s hard to top it. Seaholm is being redeveloped, so starting in the summer we began to look for a new home for Austin Psych Fest 2012. Our search brought us all over the Austin area, to beautiful ranches outside of town, to empty parking lots downtown, to warehouses on the East Side to established venues in Austin.

After seeing the new Emo’s East & Beauty Ballroom at The Black Angels / Wooden Shjips / Ume show on New Year’s Eve, we knew that we had found the perfect fit for APF 2012. The layout, facilities and sound are all amazing, and anyone who has been to the original locations of either club will be impressed – the difference is readily apparent.

Weekend passes will be on sale on austinpsychfest.com on Saturday January 21 at 12PM CST. Tickets will be the same prices as last year. $100 gets you your weekend pass. We’ll have single day tickets available in March when the daily schedules are released.

Benefit for Esme Barrera

2012-01-12T15:32:00.008-06:00

On January 1, 2012, the music community tragically lost 29-year old Esmeralda (Esme) Barrera, a beloved fixture of the Austin music scene, when she was murdered at her home in Austin. Esme was very active in the local music scene. She was a Mentor/Counselor at Girl's Rock Camp, a part of the Waterloo Records staff, as well as an assistant teacher at an elementary school. There has been a tremendous outpouring of support from the music community in Austin that knew her well.

The Scoot Inn is hosting a benefit tonight. Admission will be sliding scale $5-$10, with 100% of the proceeds from the door going to Esme's family. Doors open at 7PM.

In memoriam to friend and fellow volunteer at Girls Rock Camp Austin, Lauren Langner Larson of Austin trio Ume has written, recorded and released a new song, "Gleam." The track, available at Bandcamp, can be downloaded for a donation in which the band is asking people to name their price and donate whatever they can.

"I had the honor of working with Esme for four years at Girls Rock Camp Austin," says Larson. "We rarely encounter people so inspiring - whose compassion and joy are contagious. Esme was the unique gift of a person who could ease a new girl's fear at Rock Camp with a hug - who a Waterloo customer remembers for her smile - who a local band remembers for rocking out in the front row. She was the epitome of awesome."

The day after Larson heard the news about Barrera she decided to record a song she had been holding inside for a long time and to dedicate it to Barrera. The twinkling acoustic track "Gleam" was recorded at Resonate Studios with Louie Lino of Nada Surf who leant his production skills and supplied keyboards. "During recording I learned that Esme once lived above the studio and was a dear friend of Louie and his family," offers Larson. "The year she lived with us, Esme became part of my family," says Lino. "She has been a friend, my daughter's teacher and my musical touchstone ever since I've known her. We can't replace her.

Also, from Elliott Frazier of Ringo Deathstarr:

We in Austin TX have lost someone very integral and important our local Music Community. Esme Barrera was murdered early morning New Years Day. She was one of the first fans of Ringo Deathstarr and a very dear friend to our entire musical community, Mentor/Counselor at Girl's Rock Camp, and an assistant teacher at an elementary school. We are all raising funds for her Family to cover expenses, so we are donating a Cover of Bad Brains' "Sailn' On" to those who donate $1 or more to forouresmeb.blogspot.com and send a copy of the confirmation email to ringodeathstarr@gmail.com and you will proptly be e-mailed the high quality MP3 of our version of Bad Brains "Sailin' On."

These Are Words

2012-01-12T02:50:00.000-06:00

These Are Words. That's the band. They're a garage rock trio from Austin. Corey Anderson sings and plays guitar. Dan LeVine plays drums. Ian Rundell slaps the bass. The band recorded a self-titled cassette In March of 2011, and this thing rattles like a loose wheel at 1oo miles per hour. It's fuzzy, lo-fi, ramshackle, surf-blues-punk and roll.

&amp;lt;a href="http://thesearewords.bandcamp.com/track/salty-water"&amp;gt;Salty Water by These Are Words&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

The self-recorded tape contains four songs, which you can download for free at bandcamp. According to this, the band's most prominent influence is a fairly recent discovery of the 13th Floor Elevators. You can't go wrong there. These Are Words play around town quite a bit, namely at Beerland and Trailer Space Records. Keep track on facebook.

Video: Wheeler Brothers

2012-01-10T15:21:00.002-06:00

The gents at Onion Creek Productions just sent over this official music video for "Spent Time" from Austin's own Wheeler Brothers. This five-piece, folk-rocking band of brothers released their debut album, Portraits, in 2011. Guns, sex, money, booze, a Buick 442, and a Mariachi band providing comic relief - that's a great recipe. The video was directed by Eric Hurt and Aaron Brown. Produced by Pat Cassidy.

Peaking Lights

2012-01-08T16:24:00.002-06:00

I discovered Peaking Lights just recently, upon hearing their remix of a Wooden Shjips song. Peaking Lights is the husband and wife duo of Aaron Coyes and Indra Dunis, recently relocated from the Bay Area to rural Madison, Wisconsin. On the band’s sophomore record, 936, they combine elements of dub, psych, and krautrock - applying some synth, organ, tape loops, guitar, and layered vocal harmonies - resulting in beautifully hipnotic, psychedelic, dub-pop.

In 2006 when Indra and I connected things had done changed. I had just got back from living in New Zealand and Australia for two years and Indra was winding down with working on Numbers recordings (which I was lucky enough to be invited to play organ on). I was playing with my friend Nate in Rahdunes (a heavy death pulse electronic psych zone influenced by world music) Indra sat in on drums one evening when we were practicing, she had never improvised on drums and was a bit nervous with the thought. She always mentions how this was first time – while jamming - that she saw out of her third eye. We recorded a record together. She went on tour with Numbers for a few months and Nate and I went on tour with Rahdunes.

It was after these tours we decided to move from the Bay Area to Wisconsin. It was a winter of no repent that year, the first winter of my life. Indra didn’t mind as much she’s from this frigid northern zone, even though it did break records in the amount of snowfall I don’t think it had the same mental impact, I was fucked. We lived in a basement apartment where I saw a hairy centipede (apparently they exist in Wisconsin). It was a small apartment, I used to try and go outside in my underwear in negative degree weather and see how long I’d last. It wasn’t long. We hadn’t played music for a few months but got asked to play some shows with Rahdunes in Texas. Nate was still in SF, and we couldn’t afford to drive all the way down, we needed to make a few bucks for gas. In case you don’t know America, it’s big. Long drives. We started Peaking Lights to pay for gas on the way down to Texas, Yee Haw! - Aaron Coyes (September 2011)

This film contains an interview with the husband-wife duo (plus newborn baby Mikko) at their Madison, Wisconsin house as well as footage of their first ever 936 show at the Chicago Museum of Modern Art:

Free Week - Austin - 2012

2012-01-06T12:01:00.001-06:00

In Austin music scene, the first week of January means it's time for Free Week. For the duration of Free Week (January 1st - 8th), many popular venues in town offer free shows featuring some of Austin’s best (and emerging) local talent. Graham Williams (of Transmission Entertainment & Fun Fun Fun fame) planted the seeds of this now annual tradition in 2003 when he was booking shows for Emo’s. It has expanded by leaps and bunds since then, evidenced by the fact that more than a dozen Austin music venues will participate in Free Week in 2012.

The list of participating venues includes not only the usual joints on Red River - Mohawk, Beerland, Red 7, Stubb’s Club De Ville, Beauty Bar - but also the Parish, 29th Street Ballroom, The ND, Antone’s, Skinny’s Ballroom, The Scoot Inn, Frank, Swan Dive, Flamingo Cantina, Emo’s East, Lamberts, Frock On Vintage, and more.

With the Red River music district undergoing so many changes right now, this may be your last best chance to experience Free Week on Red River. Some venues are moving, others may close. Take advantage while you still can.

Below are a handful of recommended shows for the week. You can check out more show listings at freeweekaustin.com , showlistaustin.com, and on the FreeWeekAustin Twitter.

Austin Psych Fest V

2012-01-05T23:34:00.000-06:00

(Steve Hopson photo)

The 5th annual Austin Psych Fest will be held the weekend of April 27-29, 2012. Other than being held at a location within the city limits, few details are yet available. Here's the latest from austinpsychfest.com:

The good news is that we have some of our favorite bands in the world (and a few that we’ve been trying to bring to the festival for years) on our 2012 lineup and we’ve found an amazing setting for the festival this year. The bad news is that we have to keep it under wraps a little longer.

No one is more excited and anxious about the release of this information than we are, but we’re just not able to yet. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know the good news when it’s released. Tickets will be available soon after the lineup and venue are announced.

We’re also finally getting the record label into 2nd gear for 2012, and the APF4 DVD is almost ready. Early in the year we’ll be releasing the film on DVD, The UFO Club LP, and a 7 inch from The Meek featuring contributions by Alex and Christian. Vice just released an episode of On The Road featuring their stop at Austin Psych Fest last year – check it out.

Austin Psych Fest 4 was held at Seaholm Power Plant in 2011 and featured Sleepy Sun, the Black Ryder, The Diamond Center, Atlas Sound, Crystal Stilts, and a metric ton of other great bands.

Al Lover is Cool

2012-01-05T00:24:00.003-06:00

Chopped and screwed psych and garage rock? Sign me up.

Shapes Have Fangs - "Terlingua" (Al Lover remix)

White Fence - "Sticky Fruitman Has Faith" (Al Lover remix)

That's one of the things Al Lover does. He's a producer from San Francisco who over the last few years has gained notoriety for his melding of garage and psychedelic rock into spacey, hip hop-style instrumentals. One of his recent projects, "Distorted Reverberations," samples current psych and garage rock acts such as Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees. The dude is also into Shapes Have Fangs, Night Beats, King Tuff, White Fence, and the psych scene in San Fran. He has also reworked Captain Beefheart’s first record, remixed a bunch of Woodsist tracks, and is apparently reworking some Velvets.

Al Lover says:

"I feel like there are some very interesting things happening in the current garage/psych rock scene. People are building off the core roots of rhythm and blues again and making it even weirder, and tougher (thanks punk rock) than they did in the 60′s. I’ve said it before, but this is the kind of stuff producers will be digging for 20, 30 years from now."

from his tumblr:

"Yeah, yeah, everyone’s chopping and screwing things these days, I know, but I love it. What can I say I’m from the south. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while but never got around to it, so in the spirit of the holiday’s I figured I would ruin some of my favorite rock n roll songs from the year by giving ‘em the old lean treatment. I’ve been getting bored of the idea of just throwing a regular ass mix of songs together so I figured I’d make something fucked up for people who are fucked up and like fucked up music. Hope you dig it…. you probably won’t."

See, I too come from the south. I too spent many of my teenage years listening to rap, mostly southern, and partially chopped and screwed. So when I stumbled upon this fellow who decided to chop and screw some of the current psych/garage stuff I'm into, I jumped on it.

Wild Child

2012-01-03T19:49:00.004-06:00

Wild Child is an emerging indie-folk band from Austin, led by founding members Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins. After writing their first batch of songs Wild Child then evolved into a six-piece band, adding drummer Carey McGraw, cellist Sadie Wolfe, keyboardist Evan Magers, with multi-instrumentalist Matthew Mares on banjo, bells, and percussion.

Wild Child began recording their debut album, Pillow Talk, in November of 2010 with San Francisco producers Evan Magers and Alex Peterson. Mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Erik Wofford, the album is filled with charming, violin and ukulele-driven folk songs that document the ups and downs of a young, modern romance. There are 15 tracks, oodles of sing-along vocal harmonies, lush strings, all accompanied by an endearing and honest disposition.

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://wildchildsounds.bandcamp.com/track/darling-divine"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Darling Divine by Wild Child&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;

You can stream the full album below, and receive four free songs from "Pillow Talk" by signing up for Wild Child's email list at eyeinthesky.org. Wild Child plays a Free Week show tonight at The ND with Chase Weinacht (of MARMALAKES), MaryAnn & The Revival Band, Shakey Graves, and more.

RUBBERNECK

2012-01-03T01:30:00.013-06:00

Rubberneck is new photography zine all about the rock and roll nightlife in Austin. It was created by Renate Winter and Jon Chamberlain, two local photographers who became friends when they began seeing each out at various shows around town. Their inspiration to launch the zine came from a desire to spread the word about some of their favorite bands. Many of those bands play frequent gigs on Red River and at Beerland in particular, including A Giant Dog, Riverboat Gamblers, John Wesley Coleman III, the Flesh Lights, the OBN IIIs, ELVIS, and many more.

From the article on austin360.com:

Talking with Winter and Chamberlain, it's clear that the two are music fans first. Though they come from very different backgrounds — Winter is from Sweden and has lived in a few different American cities; Chamberlain moved from his hometown of Chicago — they have similar stories about how they ended up living in Austin. In short, they both got hooked on a town where it's possible to see music every night of the week.

The first issue of Rubberneck was a 25-page, print-only run of 300 copies, carried locally at Antone's Records, End Of An Ear, Trailer Space Records, Waterloo Records, Breakaway Records, and Domy Books. The foreword for the inaugural issue was written by Matador Records co-owner Gerard Cosloy, whose Casual Victim Pile compilations have focused on Austin bands. For he 3rd and most recent volume, Rubberneck covered Gonerfest in Memphis.

You can order copies at www.rubberneckzine.com. Each issue has also been accompanied by a compilation of songs from the bands featured, and you can hear the compilations on the Rubberneck Bandcamp. Each song contains a link to where the music can be purchased.

Rubberneck is presenting a Free Week show at Red 7 on Thursday, January 5th with A Giant Dog, Grand Champeen, Wes Coleman, ELVIS, and Grape St.

The Nouns

2012-01-02T21:42:00.004-06:00

The Nouns in an Austin rock 'n roll band consisting of Travis Beall (vocals & guitar) Nick Stout (drums) and Chris Rodriguez (bass). Beall and Stout have been playing in a band together since they were 13 years old, after initially crossing paths at a rock band camp with the Austin School of Music. Their guitar-driven songs flaunt elements of surf, garage, and snotty punk, muscled along by Beall's stray dog howl. Live, the trio has been known to get into some shenanigans that leave hands blistered and bleeding.

In November of 2010, The Nouns released a three song demo Warehouse Sessions, captured on a portable recorder in the Texas Coffee Traders warehouse. Their debut EP entitled Party with The Nouns! was recorded by Mike Vasquez at Sweatbox Studios in April of 2011, and released in December 2011. You can name your price to download the 5-track album at bandcamp.

The Zoltars

2012-01-02T01:41:00.001-06:00

Austin trio The Zoltars is led by Jared Leibowich. The band began as a simplistic 2-piece in 2009, and Leibowich made quite a few recordings with a drumme friend named Richard Fetchick. These short, snarky, garage pop songs have an endearing quality that is equally simple, catchy, and a bit odd. It's uncomplicated nature has a charm that sticks with you even after repeated listens.

The Zoltars - "All My Friends"

The band has grown into a trio, now comprised of Leibowich, John Gaglio, and Donald Gallaspy. Their debut, self-titled EP was released this year by Austin vinyl label Sundae Records, and was eventually chosen as one of the best 7 inches of 2011 by Waterloo Records.The first track talks about a stoned trip to Walgreens:

The Zoltars - "Party at the Batcave"

Prior to the 7'', a Zoltars song was included on Gerard Cosloy's second "Casual Victim Pile" compilation, released in February of this year. Their debut LP, Should I Try Once More?, is scheduled to be released in April 2012. Less minimal than their earlier stuff, the album tells the story of someone falling in love again, and every song on the album acts as a scene in the story.

The Zoltars' next show is this Wednesday, January 4th, during Free Week at Beerland with Quin Galavis and David Israel. Keep up with them at thezoltars.com and on facebook.

An early collection of Zoltars recordings was the inspiration for this 'visual album' - a short film produced by Jared's brother Alex Leibowich, who is and intern at Bad Robot Productions. The songs here are slower and a bit more serious than the rest.

The OBN III's

2012-01-01T17:14:00.007-06:00

OBN III's could be defined as a local supergroup. Front man Orville Bateman Neeley also fronts the punk trio Bad Sports, and plays drums in A Giant Dog and James Arthur's Manhunt. Graham Low (bass) and Andrew Cashen (guitar) are also members of A Giant Dog, and Matt Hammer (drums) was a founding member of the Strange Boys. Jason Smith rounds out the 5-piece on guitar.

What the OBN IIIs mainly do is get together and shred. The music is loud, fast, angry, and filled with a classic garage punk swagger. Every riff of the guitar, every crash of the drum, every vocal howl, they all go to 11. It's a simple, yet highly explosive formula.

In 2011 they cranked out two singles, a self-titled EP, and a full-length album titled The One And Only. You can get 'em at Tic Tac Totally and Super Secret Records. Or on itunes.

In recent news, OBN IIIs will be featured on the upcoming Matador Records Singles Going Home Alone Subscription Series. They also just graced the cover of Maximum Rock & Roll.

Their next two shows are at Beerland on January 6, and at the Mohawk on January 7. Both shows are free of course, as it is Free Week. You can keep up with the OBN III's on facebook.

OBN III's - "If the Shit Fits"

Farewell, Emo's

2011-12-29T17:09:00.001-06:00

The original Emo's is closing its doors for good tomorrow night. It has literally been at the center of my concert going-experience for the last half decade, so I'm going to miss it. Terribly. I'm just glad that I have so many good memories from witnessing a slew unforgettable shows in that dirty old building at 6th & Red River. Emo's was always a place where I knew I could just walk right in, see a lot of friends, and have a good time. The staff was always super cool and welcoming to me, and that is something I will never forget. That includes bartenders, door guys, management, and ownership. I also feel lucky to have been able to put together a concert at the original Emo's while it was still standing. I could go on and on about how sad its closing makes me, but we heard the rumors around this time last year, so I've had plenty of time to accept that things change and move on.

If you want to have one last night of drunken fun at Emo's, you better do it tonight or tomorrow. Tonight's show is pretty damn good, with Quintron & Miss Pussycat and the Mind Spiders. I'll be at this one for sure. If you want to read a little bit about the closing, check out some of the articles here and here. More memories here.

To commemorate the closing of this legendary venue, artist Lindsey Kuhn designed a series of posters for the final shows. Screen prints of the individual posters will be for sale at the shows, and at swampco.com, with the option to purchase the whole collection. Get them while you can. The final show is on on December 30th with Killdozer.

From Emo's:

For years Lindsey Kuhn designed and screened some of the most iconic concert posters for Emo's, many of which you can still find hanging throughout the venue today. Now he has put together a project to commemorate its closing - nine individual posters that when assembled correctly create an impressive master image. Each will be for sale throughout the rest of the month during the "Emo's Apocalypse," a farewell concert series at the original downtown venue featuring some of the most celebrated local bands from past and present. Collect all nine and maybe you can convince your hippie roommate to finally take down that tapestry he's had since college.
