Me to the Mer to the Mo

Your Austin Music Minute maven has returned from her two-week hiatus, which included an extremely brief but brilliant Nashville trip to see Lord Friday the 13th at The Blue Room at Third Man Records, and providing a literal weep fest at this year’s Austin Chronicle Austin Music Awards, so much so that every tree, plant or drainage hole along Red River got watered. And just before the madness of SXSW descends upon us, the AMM is here to remind you that there’s live music in Austin all year round.

Today’s AMM features the latest installment of Me Mer Mo Monday, a showcase spotlighting experimental music and artists creating unique soundscapes. This evening’s show includes the enigmatic electronic textural sculpting of FllAPS; the Hindustani synth-acoustic arrangements of Plume Girl; and extraordinary San Antonio-based sound artist Justin Boyd. Experience Me Mer Mo Monday tonight, Monday March 6, at Dada Lab, 2824 Real St., starting at 7 p.m.

From the Hills With Love

From the Hills With Love, a much-anticipated annual showcase curated by Israel Nash and presented at the grounds of his Hill Country studio Plum Creek Sound during SXSW, was put on pause for a bit, for obvious reasons (thanks, pandemic). But the show must go on, and indeed it will, virtual style. This year’s streaming […]

Hotel Free TV, Episode 16

It’s where the magic’s at.

Hotel Lobby

Jessica Pyrdsa vividly recalls the turmoil that took place in the lobby of some fancy hotel in San Diego. Her boyfriend made an abrupt exit after an argument by driving off, leaving her to collect her shattered thoughts. It was a tear-soaked mess. But my, what a conveniently-placed baby grand piano can do to therapeutically […]

The much-beloved weekly flurry of mad string action draws people from all parts of town to the South Austin hot spot because it’s always a guaranteed great performance. The uber-talented musicians of the house […]

Backslider

Have you heard? He’s getting the band back together. After saying that, it’s kind of hard not to summon an image of Belushi and Aykroyd, Elwood adding to his brother Jake’s band announcement with, “We’re on a mission from God.” Totally off subject for the AMM, but is it? Following his 2020 LP My Love […]
