Grandma Mousey: “Freaky Face”

By: Jack Anderson

Among the many personality types out there, those whose favorite holiday is Halloween are the ones I prefer to keep close. So if you’re like me and want to get the most brimstone for your buck on October 31st (despite celebrating Halloween year-round), welcome Grandma Mousey into your nightmare. This indie rock trio’s been trickin’ ‘n’ treatin’ around Austin since 2019, their grab bag now filled to the brim with the sweetest morsels of jazz, psychedelia, prog, and more.

Coming off this Spooky Season, Grandma Mousey is set to play 10PM Friday night at Kenny Dorham’s Backyard, along with openers p.s. feels, Lady Chops and the Goddamn Jam, and Bridey Murphy. And right in time for All Hallow’s Eve, Grandma Mousey’s given us an extra piece of shoegaze flair to help get into character for your costume. Just don’t come crying when you can’t take the “Freaky Face” off…

Queen Serene: “Glowing”

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But in an era where song options are limitless, song lengths are preferred shorter, and attention spans are especially acute, patience rarely proves a virtue for new listeners, which means strong first impressions are still worth fighting for. On that note, this time around we’ll […]

Isis Destiny: “R U Mine ?” (feat. Opera Mauv)

Poetry. Painting. Tailoring. And that’s all in one audacious Austinite’s regular wheelhouse, without even accounting for their live performance pursuits. Like…save some media forms for the rest of us, sheesh!

Stalefish: “Becoming the Square”

If you’re into Japanese cuisine, you know the fresh fish is the best: the nigiri, the good stuff. And while we wouldn’t recommend going so far from fresh that you end up with surströmming, you don’t gotta be a skater to know that there’s a real appeal going for Stalefish. Faithful to their name, Stalefish […]

arya: “USE ME”

It’s a twofer this Friday! We’ve got a brand new release alongside a weekend show recommendation. And both arrive on behalf of arya. arya’s not just another dime a dozen bedroom pop Billie Eilish wannabe.

Jon Funnell: “BREAKAWAY”

Nobody truly makes it “overnight”, right? Sure, with semi-recent innovations like home studios and TikTok the exposure pipeline is more greased than ever. But even then it’s not like the most skilled songsmith just pens something new, gets it tracked, and has an instant hit the very next day. No, you need years of experience, […]

Yeah. Chances are, you’re pretty good. So let’s look at Caleb Veazey – reared here in Austin but now based out of […]
