The Escatones surf back to Austin! Sun. 10/23 @ Red Eyed Fly

Psychedelic surf/garage trio The Escatones return to Texas to celebrate the recently released "The Ghost of High Island", apparently named after High Island, Texas, a town known for its supernatural haunts. The Tulsa and Stillwater, Oklahoma (via Galveston & Houston, TX and Detroit, MI) based rockers return to Texas to perform a series of shows, which includes a night in Austin with The Cocker Spaniels, The Rich Hands (San Antonio, TX), and Mad Comrades – Sunday, September 23rd at Red Eyed Fly.

After releasing a split EP with Darwin's Finches in April of this year, The Escatones released "Live From High Island" (HomeSkool Rekordz), featuring an eclectic mix of 60s psychedelic, surf, and garage rock, now available on iTunes. The Escatones have been busy, making live appearances at music venues throughout the mid-west US, and on radio and TV, including a June appearance in "The Garage" on WOAI Channel 4 (NBC): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgYVZyUbM_8. Expect a lively set of psychedelic and surf rock sounds – and the possibility an awesome cover of a song by Texas rock icons The Judys. 

"Crunk rocker" Sean Padilla performs insightful and (body) moving autobiographical songs solo as The Cocker Spaniels.

San Antonio, Texas based youthful yet old school soulful garage rockers The Rich Hands are currently recording new music, and playing spirited shows across Texas, and return to Austin to support their favorite surf rock band from Oklahoma. 

Opening folk/punk duo Mad Comrades are the yin and yang of indie rock in Austin.  

Doors open at 7pm, and live music starts at 8pm. Cover: $5 adults/$8 minors

RSVP @ Do512 or Facebook.

Thanks for your consideration of our event. 

Sincerely,

Danna Williams

GREEN HOUSE Pre-Opening Party - Sunday, 3/20

After a 5-day unofficial SXSW party binge, musicians with a flair for experimentation perform at an in-store pre-opening party for GREEN HOUSE.

GREEN HOUSE is the future of Austin shopping - a community art space, mini-gallery, and shop selling unique handmade and upcycled art, clothing, accessories, and gifts. Add free live music, a puppet show, and a donation bar before the official store opening, then you have one of the coolest unofficial closing parties for SXSW.

The lineup: Indie rock duo You Are An Airplane (Austin, TX), one-man dance/hip hop/house party from dance in da pants!!! (New Orleans, LA), transcendental jazz troupe Cliff Hines Quintet (New Orleans, LA), solo songstress and musician nerdkween (Atlanta, GA), electro-keyboardist duo Brass Crab & Beef Chip (Austin, TX), The Cocker Spaniels (Austin, TX crunk rock artist), Summer People (NY anarchic/melodic rock band), LOST CAT MAGNET (electro art-rock from Austin, TX), and the possibility of a premiere GREEN HOUSE puppet play by Thunder Puppet Productions.

The store will be open for a preview and presale - and will feature the first art installation - work by cartoonist M. Austin Bedell.

RSVP @ Do512 and Facebook - and see you there - Sunday, March 20 at 6pm.
