Show Of The Week

This week it’s difficult to not be all about the Solstice Festival.  On Friday there are club shows (or parties, if you prefer that word) all over town with the likes of Magna Carda, Big Bill, Night Drive, Tele Novella, The Eastern Sea and lots more.  Then on Saturday the actual “festival” part of Solstice will take place at Pan Am Park, and it will feature The Octopus Project, Ume, Megafauna, Riders Against The Storm, Hard Proof, Blue Healer and plenty of others.  That’s a whole lot of live music for $25 (or $20, if you buy before Friday).  Get in on it.

PS – If your bank account is empty, SOTO is currently running a contest for Solstice.  Just check the sidebar (hint: it’s that –> way) for details.

2PS – You should head out to the Oasis early on Friday for the next show that I’ve booked for 93.7 KLBJ.  This one features Otis The Destroyer, Skyline and MCG.  It’s FREE and starts right at 6:30pm.  Come say hey.

3PS – Before you make the jump to Solstice on Saturday, I highly advise that you hit up the Austin Record Convention.  It’s a very awesome thing.
