I have tried to reduce some of the bloat in these schedule posts so that you can just get the goods. I think I am going to make a separate place to find playlists and other thoughts about the days. Click the name link to find out more about each artist.
Sunday, Weekend Two:
12:00
Miller Lite | Katy Kirby: Excellent indie rock that has drawn me in for a long time |
BMI | Myron Elkins: Southern rock from a Michigan kid |
Barton Springs | Kathryn Legendre: Local C3 employee getting to take the stage with some classic country flavor |
Tito's | The Moriah Sisters: Powerful belting for the Lord |
T-Mobile | Leon III: Fantastic alt-country psych rock by two of the Howler Bros. |
That's a killer hour. What I honestly want is for this whole hour to just be a showcase all in and of itself, like at Scoot Inn one evening, so that I could hear all of these bands in an afternoon. Kirby is really great. I loved the Leon thing. Elkins is raw and badass. You really have a lot of great options if you are going this early on Sunday.
12:45/ 1:00
Honda | Michigander: Fun low-key but super catchy rock |
Tito's (1:00) | Sisi: I don't know man, 3 songs that are definitely not my thing |
Kiddie | Ralph's World: Kiddie Limits silliness |
AmEx | Madison Cunningham: Deeply beautiful Americana with some rock leanings |
Can't go wrong with Michigander or Cunningham. I think both of them will make for a very pleasant early afternoon show. I lean towards Michigander just because I wanted to check him out last year, but I really enjoyed Cunningham and will keep listening to her stuff.
1:30
Miller Lite | Mimi Webb: Surprisingly fun dance pop |
BMI | Corook: Fascinating - incredibly sad, hilariously funny - and damn weird alt pop |
Barton Springs | Randall King: Pure country in a classic sense but from a new guy |
T-Mobile | Penny & Sparrow: Duo making indie-folk-rock magic after meeting at UT |
This Sunday's lineup whips last Sunday's ass. So many fun things to check out. I thought Corook was really interesting, P&S are lovely and probably the perfect thing for this time of day, and Randall King is classic-sounding. You've got great choices here.
2:00/ 2:15
Honda | Dope Lemon: Laid-back, chilled-out rock in the vein of Mac DeMarco |
Tito’s Tent (2:00) | Quin NFN: Legit Austin rapper from da 4. |
Kiddie | School of Rock: Kids jamming cover tunes based on what they learned at private lessons |
American Express | Kevin Kaarl: Apparently confessional singer/songwriter all in Spanish |
Dope for sure here - I've been listening to him again this week and it is just a fun time. We watched his show last week and it was a vibe. I wish his image wasn't quite what it is, with all the cool sunglasses and rings and outfits, but I really enjoy the tunes.
3:15
Miller Lite | Suki Waterhouse: Model and actress making forgettable bedroom pop |
BMI | Caramelo Haze: Another neo-Afro-Columbian-Latino-rock outfit from Austin |
Barton Springs | Morgan Wade: Lyrically solid country bordering on rock with all the tattoos. |
Tito's | Celisse: One powerful song from an apparently great guitarist |
T-Mobile | Del Water Gap: Ex-bandmate of Maggie Rogers making great indie pop |
I had no recollection of Caramelo or Celisse when I just put this box together. Not a good sign. My choice here is definitely Del Water Gap. Terrible band name but excellent music.
4:15
Honda | M83: Atmospheric electro and dance, with that one big "Midnight City" song. |
Tito’s Tent (4:30) | Yves Tumor: Weird as hell ambient and experimental noise pop |
Kiddie | FYUTCH: Kiddie rap time! |
American Express | Niall Horan: One of the One Direction guys making really good pop rock tunes |
Easy call for me to go see Niall. But I don't know if I understand M83 being a 4pm band. They seem much larger than that to me. We saw Niall last weekend and his whole show was really nice - a little cheeky, a little cheesy, but really enjoyable.
5:15
Miller Lite | Ivan Cornejo: Spanish songs that may be love songs maybe? |
BMI | Corey Kent: Rockin' Nashville country from an ex-Voice competitor |
Barton Springs | The Breeders: Alternative rock's girl group from the 90's (yes, you remember "Cannonball"). |
T-Mobile | Little Simz: Fantastic rapper with a chill vibe but some toughness in her lyrics |
Simz was phenomenal last weekend. Just powerful and nimble and owned the stage. I loved it.
6:15
Honda | Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Very arty rock with more screaming than I would have guessed, based on "Maps." |
Tito’s Tent | Sidepiece: Electronic house music just like the last batch you heard |
American Express | Hozier: Massively popular Irish blues rock with the Take Me To Church song |
I didn't expect this, but Hozier is my top pick for the whole day. His catalog is really solid and enjoyable, so I'll be over there for this for sure. Although, I heard from others that YYYs was an amazing rock and roll show.
7:00
Miller Lite | Cigarettes After Sex: Dreamy pop rock that inexplicably has a jillion streams. |
Barton Springs | Death Grips: Aggressively aggravating experimental rap and abrasive industrial |
T-Mobile | Labrinth: Squawky, glitchy R&B with infrequent forays into rap-ish squawks. Squawk. |
Just a cursed hour. I don't want to see any of these. If you told me I was required to choose one, I guess I'd go see Death Grips to just witness who is purposefully doing that to their earholes.
HEADLINERS:
Honda (8:15) | Odesza: Chillwave electronic tunes. |
Tito's | |
AmEx | Mumford & Sons: Roots rocking Americana revivalists with two great albums and then ... |
I keep forgetting that Mumford is back again. I guess I'll go watch that show, but if I am being entirely honest it is not that exciting to me at all. Odesza doesn't move the needle either, so Mumford is likely it. I will say that last weekend we got treated to the Austin High Band, Noah Kahan, and the Huston Tillotson Choir, so they're trying to make it special for you!
