Austin Psych Fest Post Coverage: Sleepy Sun Interview & Disposables

We hung out with California-based Sleepy Sun’s Bret Constantino for a bit during Austin Psych Fest and got real about the politics of the music industry, but very much more real about Texas BBQ:

Not Enough Skulls: Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks (Brighton Music Hall 4/22)

The last time I saw David Portner masquerading as Avey Tare, I was sweaty and burnt out before he even got onstage. It was March 7, 2013 at the House of Blues, and he and the rest of Animal Collective were watching Dan Deacon from backstage.

Shrieking ‘Bout Sisters With The Coathangers and The Audacity (Great Scott 4/16)

coathangers

Wednesday night with The Coathangers and The Audacity turned a work night into a play date, albeit one with onstage shots, shrieks, and furious drumming by both bands. Not the worst way to go to bed late.
