Magic (Music) Moments

By: Laurie Gallardo

Hearts in the eyes, and hearts all a-flutter… Of course KUTX is in love – with all this incredible music! And we’re here to remind you of the importance of supporting our local musicians. It’s the very root – the heart and soul, if you will – of why Austin is known as the Live Music Capital of the World, darlin’.

Here are just a few shows happening in our city tonight, perfect for your Valentine’s (or anti-Valentine’s) Day celebrations:

Love and Giants (formerly The Cover Letter) share the bill with Harvest Thieves and Night Blooms at Barracuda, 611 E. 7th St.

Hey Cowboy has an album release show at Cheer Up Charlie’s, 901 Red River, with Christelle Bofale, Lolita Lynn, and Houston-based singer/songwriter Teresa Vicinanza‘s musical project, Tee Vee.

Rawk. It’s an unholy trio of the harder stuff with FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK at Spider House, 2906 Fruth St., with Transit Method, Chill Russell and RATS RATS RATS. (This show’s got yer AMM host written all over it…)

Make It Heavy

No need to mess with the volume. It’s already cranked up for you. Holy Death Trio got their start in 2016, and according to legend, it all came about when Mercury was in retrograde. So…that could translate into anything, from dubious to apocalyptic, but in this case it’s an Austin-based three-piece that loves opening the […]

Cazayoux at Arlo Grey

Peruse the credits on the new self-titled LP by Austin-based outfit Cazayoux and you’ll find fourteen musicians – fourteen – pouring all they’ve got into this impressive mix that hits you old school but so damn fresh at the same time. Afrobeat, psych funk, cajun, soul, New Orleans jazz, and rock are just a few […]

Dig It!

If The Ugly Beats happen to be the subject of conversation, chances are you’ll bring up a whole bunch of music, winding through the Beats’ own influences to several other ’60s garage rockers and freakbeat fiends from your list of top favorites. Makes sense. The Ugly Beats are music lovers. It’s an obsession right up […]

It’s A Family Tradition

Look, if you are of a certain…time, you hear someone say “family tradition” and you may break out into song about the more unsavory things you’ve inherited genetically, so to speak. But that’s not what the AMM is talking about today. This is about Feels So Good Records/Prints presenting Family Tradition, a damn good time […]

SEA/SONS

The title of Abraham Alexander’s debut release SEA/SONS suggests a couple of things. There’s definitely a reflection of the time he spent growing up in Greece by the seaside with his brothers, before relocating to Texas. And then, the idea of seasons – not so much about the weather, but the changes in our lives. […]
