Show Of The Week

There’s a slew of great shows happening around Austin this Friday (see below for more recommendations), but you’d be crazy to not join me at Antone’s for Australia’s own Alex Lahey.  A couple of years back she put out an excellent album, I Love You Like A Brother, and just recently she followed it up with The Best Of Luck Club, which is just as hooky and fantastic.  I believe that’s called being on a roll.  Also, I’ve seen her a handful of times and can confirm that she’s a blast live.  Let’s get loud together on Friday, pals.

Tix are $15 in advance, $17 the day of.  Kingsbury will open.
