Sabado Jigante

Ya tu sabes, güey. When it’s a show starring two bands that’ve been featured as KUTX Artists of the Month, it’s gonna rule. Cumbia/pop outfit Como Las Movies (“La Inconforme” is featured on today’s AMM), and rock ‘n’ roll trio Je’Texas are taking over the outside stage tonight, Saturday July 15, at Radio Coffee and […]

But So Alive!

Okay, let’s skip the animatronics. It’s a love/hate relationship, actually. They can be really cool, but it…it sends your AMM host into a freaky mindset. Like, some crazy Five Nights scenario-type stuff. So if Falcon Bitch and Gumball from Being Dead actually did meet as animatronic mechs at Chuck E. Cheese, I have mental images […]

Los Hermanos Sparks

Yes, this is the band that your Austin Music Minute host won’t shut up about, and mentions on her afternoon show at least every other day. And if it’s not to reference a specific album, of which there are now 26, then it’s to repeatedly recommend the phenomenal Edgar Wright documentary that your AMM host […]

Face To Face

It’s swoon at first listen with opener “Many Hours,” today’s AMM featured track from Tearjerk‘s Face To Face. Right after some dreamy swirls of pedal steel, vocalist/songwriter Vanessa Jollay calls forth some all-too familiar pangs of regret: “Berate myself on Sunday morning / I’m used to it…” Though heartbreak and frustration are common threads throughout […]

Superstar

It’s devastating. And it’s spot on. LA-based artist Wallice paints a self-effacing portrait illustrating the high-adrenalin elation and soul-obliterating pitfalls of fame on ‘90s American Superstar, the tale of a fictional pop star’s rise and fall in mega-stardom. Though it’s not autobiographical, Wallice didn’t shy away from examining her own dealings with fame, and the […]

Body Pillow at Hotel Vegas

It seems impossible to shake off a romantic interest turned sour. Nothing erases the memory. They even have the nerve to show up in one’s dreams. But now, it’s time to reclaim the love. Body Pillow vocalist/songwriter Leslie Crunkilton examines the unfaltering desire in “Want It Back,” the new single featured on today’s AMM, coming […]

Four Fathoms Deep

The Belle Sounds‘ 2013 self-titled debut moved in a direction similar to that of songwriter/vocalist Noëlle Hampton‘s solo work, weaving lush and delicate acoustic folk pop that holds a quiet power beneath its gentle surface. But even then, Hampton and husband/creative partner André Moran knew an evolution was brewing in the band’s style. And since […]
