    An Interview with The Garden By: Anthony Flores I had a chance to meet with and interview The Garden before one of their shows in Austin on this last tour.

    October 4, 2016 /

      Back on April 28th,  Blondi’s Salvation (based in Nantes, France) arrived in Austin, Texas to begin their first US tour with LEVITATION Fest, which earlier that day was sadly canceled. With courage in their hearts and a drive to share music with our country, they pressed on and played many shows around the United States. Accompanied by Axel Vanlerberghe, who documented all of their adventures through photos and video, they captured a very unique glance at the strange American ways of today. Here is a short documentary of the French medieval psychedelic band’s misadventures through the states.   [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8s29OHzawU[/embedyt] Website || Facebook || Instagram   Be sure to…

    September 29, 2016 /

      When it comes to films about addiction and recovery, there’s a plethora of titles that explore these themes in terms of drug use and sexuality. Director Simon Rumley examines these topics through a different lens that is universal to all of us — at what point do we separate creating our own individual identity using clothing vs. a full blown addiction to the material? Fashionista analyzes the harrowing journey of April (Amanda Fuller) who runs a vintage clothing store with her partner Eric (Ethan Embry). As distrust and infidelity begin to create an undeniable rift in their relationship, April delves further and further into her (literal) mountains of clothes…

Back in June, River Jones partnered with local indie pop band Tele Novella for a music video shoot they had scheduled and just so happened to meet Lorelei Linklater, director Richard Linklater’s daughter. Both Jones and Linklater spent the day decked out in blue makeup and alien costumes and the two artists stuck up an undeniable friendship. During a road trip to Dallas singing along to Elliott Smith, the duo decided to collaborate on Jones’ music video for “Pure”, a track he had written days before meeting Lorelei. Within a week the video was recorded and features…

    August 17, 2016 /

      Tele Novella is an inspired macabre-pop band out of Austin, TX. They are dreamy, they are spooky, and they write real fucking songs. While one may detect the influence of the nocturnal jungles of Os Mutantes or the lapelled, knee-socked smarts of Belle and Sebastian, they have cobbled together a special kind of mineral all their own worth making room on the Table of Elements for. Earnest, yet sinister; Vampy, but sentimental. The precise recipe that goes into this concoction cannot be revealed, but it is a delightful snow globe of warm, colorful darkness. In 2014, they won a contest for free recording time at Dub Narcotic Studios in…

Austin’s Class of 2016’s compilation features 17 talented acts that have attained the public’s attention and recognition of being musically sound, dedicated to their craft, and gaining quick notoriety within their local music scene. Flavorsound Production’s playlist does nothing short of highlighting a vast sample of music genres to quench everyone’s ears — from Planet Manhood’s fuzzy distorted throwback to 90’s alt-rock, Common Velvet’s sensual electronic melodies, and The Sister Ray’s lo-fi rock ‘n’ roll-meets-pop reminiscent of The Shangri-Las, listeners…

    June 8, 2016 /

      Two years ago as Austin’s complacency felt saturated by the overall stagnation of rock n roll, I came across The Bolos. They were young, hungry, and most importantly not just another band jumping shark and attempting to poorly play psyche. From the very beginning they stood out as a band with grit, shaping music out of creativity rather than a need to feel cool, a rare band from San Antonio to not lean on the region as a crutch but instead using it to incubate their noise and presence into something worth more than scene nods and not having to pay the cover whenever hitting up the local spot.…

Was this some kind of cruel joke? Can I get a refund on my round-trip plane tickets from Norway? Despite the chaos that ensued, the majority of the festival-goers made the most of it by attending rescheduled sets at local venues downtown and did their best to nab a couple online tickets to bigger headliner sets while they could. On a high note, the scheduled pre-Levitation shows set to go down on Thursday, April 28th…

    Words by: Merri Palmer Photographer: Ismael Quintanilla III   I thought I knew what rock ‘n’ roll was until I saw The Beach Boys. My generation grew up on Beach Boys’ surf rock, a sound so familiar and quintessential to American life that it may as well have been baseball, or apple pie, or stars and stripes. I have a sharp childhood memory of singing “Barbara Ann” at the top of my lungs in a restaurant bathroom. As those harmonies eked through the raspy speakers and into my soul, I knew this was music. As I grew older, friends got into boy bands and pop, hip-hop and metal. I felt…

Contrary to his previous work we’ve featured, Jones’ music video for “Radio Waves” is a more spirited and optimistic track, perfectly suited for imminent spring days. Directed by River Jones and Sarah Mullinnix, “Radio Waves” uses overlapping images and kaleidoscopic color schemes, capturing a dream-like state of dizzying forms and bold lyrics popping in front of your eyes. Jones gravitates towards the past, referring back to prior memories of love and describing the object of…

A hush ran through the crowd as soon as they graced the stage, guitarist and vocalist Sparhawk’s voice blending effortlessly and magnificently with drummer Mimi Parker’s falsetto.

The album was fueled by candy, coffee, long walks and secret rituals that will continue to remain secret.

    Photographer: Kaelin Wideman Kaelin Wideman has a BA in photography from the Art Institute of Austin Texas. Her work centers on stills, mainly using organic and vintage items. About her work she says, “I often just find something to be extremely beautiful. I then have to use my camera to give it a story. I don’t always know how that story might look to others I just know it has a story to tell.”

  • Kevin Kurecki Takeover!

    June 16, 2015 /

      Based out of Chicago, Illinois, 26 year old artist Kevin Kurecki moved to Austin, TX as a way of escape from the harsh winters as well as a change from his northern environment, and has been loving the city ever since. Focusing primarily on photography and handmade collage art over the last few years has provided Kurecki with a means of expressing himself via a different portal away from this world into his own. His art stemmed initially from writing down all his personal musings, lyrics, art, and sayings in a moleskin notebook, which unfortunately got destroyed along the way during his life travels. Kurecki mentions that his art…

    June 2, 2015 /

      River Jones’ released his self-titled EP for his highly anticipated new indie-rock project, Alta Violet, in late March of this year. Reminiscent of Elliott Smith and The Beatles, Jones’ style is immaculate and well crafted, seeing as he has already carved out a name for himself in the bustling Austin music scene. Always having been a prolific writer since his adolescent years, Jones’ states that “if I stopped writing yesterday, I would never need to write a new song again and I would have a careers worth of catalog songs”. Not only does Jones sing and play the drums, bass, guitars and keys on his album, he also recorded…

      Described as “desert rock from the sun stricken soil of Austin, TX”, Greenbeard bring out the heavy rock ‘n’ roll grooves with a psychedelic twist. Chance Parker, Marc Maddox, Buddy Hachar and Ethan Thayer have seen an incredible amount of achievement since the formation of their band Greenbeard, and rightly so. With their success of their self-titled album last November, their current eight date tour from Texas to the Pacific Northwest, and with Denver’s The Underground Music Showcase in store for them on July 25th, you’ll surely be hearing more from Greenbeard in the near future, if you haven’t already. Make sure to catch them live on June 5th…

You’re welcome.   Formerly Mighty Mountain, Messages has transformed with new members and a new and changed sound. As a result, they are releasing a three part debut of which “Sunshine” is the first song to be released. Part one of the debut will be fully released in April 2015.   I’ve already decided that “Sunshine” is going to be my slow, easy ride into summer. It’s energetic and catchy without the cheese. It’s a pure, feel-good song but more…

    December 3, 2014 /

      Originating in Austin, Texas, Foxhunt emerges onto the music scene with a mixture of modern folk, dreamy electronics and teeming tones of alternative rock. Beginning their career as a group, Joseph Kosier, Stephen Marshall, Nadyia Marshall and Wesley Goins have yet to release their studio album, Strange Creatures, and is met with as much anticipation as excitement to preview the beginning to a long road of success embedded in their path. Unlike many other bands mixing genres together to discover a profound fuse of something unknown to music lovers abroad, Foxhunt centers around “love, alienation and the price of both.” When circulating the depths of music, Foxhunt uses the…

When she saw that local non-profit groups didn’t have a budget for events or promotion, due to all of their money going toward their missions, she told us, “I saw a need to really help these organizations… put together a worthy event to showcase what they’re doing.” During our phone interview, she stressed Community, Collaboration, and Cross Promotion, or what she called the Three C’s. These 3 C’s are what she strives to accomplish with $3 Shows. “I want people… to walk away with a…

With a track on the Wes Anderson tribute album, I Saved Latin!, covering The Velvet Underground’s “Stephanie Says” and a tour in the works, this is certainly one Austin-based act that is a must-see.     What initially inspired you to start playing music? How did Tele Novella come together? I started playing music at a pretty young age and took piano lessons from age 5-16. I was never a very stellar piano player, though. It wasn’t until I started going…
