Show Of The Week

The rescheduled Sound on Sound Fest shows are going down everywhere this week, and you can see which ones I’m into the most down below (they’re marked with SoS).  There’s some good ones!  Let’s go non-fest today though, and talk up Speedy Ortiz, Tera Melos and Lola Tried at Barracuda on Sunday.  This show is going to be fantastic.  Speedy Ortiz, who are one of my favorite bands, haven’t played Austin in a bit, so it’ll be great to see them again.  Maybe they’ll even toss out some new tunes?  Speaking of new things, Tera Melos and locals Lola Tried both have solid 2017 releases that they’ll be supporting at the show.  Let’s gather on a Sunday (you don’t need to work on Monday!) and indulge in this triple bill of indie rock.

Tix are $10 in advance, $13 the day of.

CONTEST:  I’ve got a couple pairs of tickets to give away.  To enter to win just shoot an email HERE.  I’ll pick winners on Friday!
