Speaker Bump Special

By: Laurie Gallardo

Chucky Blk

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 underground, Ben Buck honors the legacy of hip-hop artists before him, and is one hell of a collaborator. The comp came about when, faced with not being able to meet with other artists in person during the height of the pandemic, Buck sent out acapella tracks from his past three albums to producers across the country. Get that lightning when you see Buck tonight at the Hole.
  • Following a spectacular Freestyle Monday session at Knomad Studio, along with the release of the new video for “Heartless Monster”, Chucky Blk is ready for the Speaker Bump Special. Your AMM host is hooked on the poetry of A Scathing Critique of Current Affairs, but don’t miss out on Blk’s cover of Death Grips“Black Paint” with “a sprinkle of Henry Dumas’s KEF 12” in the recipe. Et voila!
  • Don’t get it twisted, now. In the words of alt.- hip hop outfit Twisted June, “The FUNK shall be within U.” And by the looks of it, this band is just finding its voice.

Doors at 8 p.m., and the show kicks off at 9 p.m. Get it all.

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 […]

Fox Street Blues

The forthcoming album Fox Street Blues by Buenos Diaz has a family story behind it, perhaps one that’s familiar to many generations of survivors. 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 […]
