Extra Stream Pick: Shane Cooley

By: Laurie Gallardo

It’s been a different journey, releasing this record, to say the very least. And so many music artists have the same, or a very similar, story.

Shane Cooley recorded 50 Songs at Jonas Wilson‘s Mr. Pink Studio and was poised to unleash the fifty original solo tracks into the world with a flourish. Of course, life happens – in the most unexpected ways that put a major crimp on fun things like album release parties. But Cooley was not deterred. All throughout April, on two evenings each week, Cooley has presented a series of live stream shows featuring his new music. The last two performances are coming up tonight, Wednesday April 29th at 8 p.m. (Central), and Friday May 1st at 8 p.m. (Central) on Cooley’s Facebook page. Donations are welcome through Cooley’s PayPal.

Lost Behind The Clouds

This week, Austin pysch-pop rockers Bali Yaaah debut their first full-length release, Lost Behind The Clouds. Though this time, those swirling cosmic Brit-psych and post-punk vibes hit close to home amidst dreams of…breaking out of lockdown and maybe flying off to the beach? Hell yes. At the time of production, the notion of lockdown was […]

Speaker Bump Special

It’s the Speaker Bump Social, though leave it to your AMM host to keep referring to tonight‘s line-up at Hole In the Wall as the “Speaker Bump Special.” But it is special! Don’t forget to get your hands on Ben Buck’s B Sides remix compilation, put together by the ATX-based rapper/beatbox himself. From traditional to […]

The Lonesome Crowded West

Hardcore Modest Mouse fans, you might roll your eyes but please bear with your AMM host. It’s the truth: There’s catchy, and then there’s the way Modest Mouse does it. Like those first riffs of “Float On” from Good News for People Who Love Bad News (2004), all the way on up to the banger […]

It’s Time

“Don’t let me go / I’m not prepared / I’m so damn scared / that I’m almost there.” The photo above was taken by David Brendan Hall. It captures the essence of a Quiet Company show. Taylor Muse leaves his body and something else takes over. The QC fans have always been there for it. […]

Ramble On

Giving credit where credit is due. Many thanks to songwriter and musician Beth Chrisman for the (official) introduction to The Carper Family, back in the day. Your AMM host was quite taken by those superb three-part harmonies so beautifully delivered by Chrisman, Jenni Miori-Hodges and Melissa Carper. Only one Carper in this acoustic trio, mind […]

Estos Tres

It’s three times as badass. The AMM presents the lowdown for your Wednesday night at C-Boy’s Heart and Soul, 2008 S. Congress Ave. No need to explain ’cause you already know, but… John Doe placed his searing brand on punk with X, but damn well brings next-level renegade as a solo artist with LPs like […]
