AMVF 2019

By: Laurie Gallardo

When the Austin Music Video Festival made its debut in 2015, founders Jeremy Roye, Samantha Gallion and Anthony Erickson knew it had to make one hell of an entrance. It had to be an extraordinary celebration, not just some video retrospective. Now in its fifth year, the festival continues championing cutting edge visual creativity by local artists, featured alongside nationally and internationally-recognized names in the music industry. This year’s celebration includes five days of music video premieres and screenings, all kinds of parties and panels, and the AMVF Award Show at the Austin School of Film as the grand finale.

This year’s AMVF kicks off tonight with a performance by Me Nd Adam (featured on today’s Austin Music Minute), and a DJ set by songwriter and KUTX’s Song Confessional host Walker Lukens at The Parish, 214 E. 6th St. Doors at 9 p.m. You can check out the AMVF’s website for the full schedule and ticket information.

Stop Waiting

It’s a golden twilight, when the stars and a sliver of the moon are visible, even though the sun hasn’t completely set yet. It’s a wisp of a breeze…or was that a ghost? It can be the early morning light just as easily as it could be a star-studded night sky. And, much to the […]

ACL Fest…And More

Looks as though your Austin Music Minute host got a little carried away again and got some dates mixed up, but didn’t want to waste a perfectly good Bass Drum of Death song (“Everybody’s Gonna Be There” from Say I Won’t). Click on the LISTEN button to hear how it went down…slightly erroneously: Something for […]

Pendant World

One could compare the stark beauty of any given piece by instrumental ensemble Balmorhea to a vigorous inhale/exhale while standing before a gorgeous, never-ending landscape in the natural world. Breathing in the beauty, you’re overwhelmed by the majestic surroundings while simultaneously astounded by their quiet power. It’s unsettling and wonderful. Such is the power of […]

As songwriter/vocalist Nick Diaz explains, “These stories are unfortunately the norm and a large part of the American fabric.” But the album is a testament to how Diaz’ family persevered, and […]
