Cienfuegos – February 26, 2010 – Central Market, Austin TX

Dara — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:52:14 +0000

tremendous – tremendous musicians and tremendous sound – I don’t know enough about the genre except to say it was salsa-dancing music and the still-hipped people partook – they’re described as a Cuban band that plays a variety of Latin music – crowd so happy it made me wish I’d been born in...

Akron/Family – February 24, 2010 – The Parish, Austin TX

Dara — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:10:53 +0000

so here’s the story – I came to love one song (“Good Bye Mary Lou”), a punkish bluegrass song, by this no-name band called Angels of Light and propagated it through all mixes therewith – I had a vague notion of Akron/Family but didn’t know they’d been the backing band for Angels of Light until [...]

Warpaint – February 24, 2010 – The Parish, Austin TX

Dara — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:04:08 +0000

equal parts stoner metal, 80s goth, shoegaze, and jam band (at least during some of the drum solos) – you’re probably picturing a bunch of guys on stage right now… you big sexist – but no, an all-girl band, and girls of about 23 at that – breaking through all the barriers, this generation of...

Totally Inappropriate Lansdowne Pub Boston, MA January 30, 2010

Andrew — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:51:32 +0000

I love a good cover band any day but this wasn't one. Totally Inappropriate played two 45-minute sets for the Saturday night bar crowd that got better for those smart enough to keep drinking during the break.

Karen Naomi Ramirez – January 30, 2010 – Thunderbird Coffee

Dara — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:43:32 +0000

I liked that the passion seemed more genuine than showmanship, as if her songs were about things she had actually experienced – her voice is rich and even, with a cool elegance that is soothing

Dex Romweber Duo – January 29, 2010 – End of An Ear, Austin TX

Dara — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:19:24 +0000

this raucous acoustic set was accompanied only by his junkie sister on a weird box-drum that she tapped and thumped very well

Exene Cervenka – January 29, 2010 – End of An Ear, Austin TX

Dara — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:16:17 +0000

There is still something about the tinge-of-crazy wail in her voice and her fierce wacky persona (even at 50+)

Lil Bit & The Customatics – January 25, 2010 – Sam’s Burger Joint, San Antonio TX

Dara — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:17:09 +0000

a fine boss-girl of a lead singer in her red dress with zig-zagging fringes and scattered arm tattoos - in addition to her solid version of low-toned female rockabilly vocalizing, she handled DJ responsibilities in between sets some covers, old country, rockabilly, swing; and then a song where the...

Monarchs Hole in the Wall Austin, TX 1/15/2010

Andrew — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 04:58:16 +0000

Bluesy rocker band fronted by Celeste Griffin who adds a good deal of authentic vocal grit to an already stellar performance. The set was ethereal and graceful.
