Ariel Pink is bringing his very own brand of Indie-weird back to Austin. He uses mostly himself in the recording process, from producer to armpit-sound-maker. The result is lo-fi, haunted, strange, grungy, off, gristly, and pretty awesome. Newest album Mature Themes was released late year.
Check out Ariel Pink and Mature Themes here.

What may have been a side-project for Mars Volta guys Omar Rodriguez Lopez and Deantoni Parks has now become a main focus with the announcement of a Mars Volta hiatus. Terri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes, and Nicci Kasper round out the group. You may find that their sound is familiar. The band originally toured as The Omar Rodriguez Lopez group, and have played a few shows austin-side in the past.

Heavy on the analog, and sometimes on keeping their band member identities under wraps via ninja outfits and low pulled hats, Black Moth Super Rainbow sound like a kaleidoscope of psychedelia, folk, pop, and electronica. They’re no strangers to the Austin area, and it’s probably because they’re always playing to a full house here.
Check out Black Moth Super Rainbow here.

Or, yet another story for Austin legend? Either way, it’ll be entertaining, Corrosion of Conformity is really awesome, and there’s excitment in the mystery. Fist pump, mosh, and sing your bad karaoke style heart out to your favorite songs.

FREE for APF weekend pass holders
If you haven’t already taken a look, Austin Psych Fest’s lineup this year is nothing short of really amazing. Add some more killer music before you start the weekend festival fun with this awesome kick off show. If you will be purchasing an APF weekend pass, this show is free. Otherwise, tickets can be purchased online via the link or at the door. A bit of extra info to know: the frontgate tickets link states doors are at 8, but via the facebook page for the event, APF has the doors listed as 6:30, stating the outside show will start early, so make sure you get there at 6:30 and not 8pm! Missing either of these bands would be a tragedy. APTBS and Metz released two great albums last year, and both put on a positively noisy, mind hazing, ear abusing, and wall of sound loving show in completely differents ways. A really great co-headlining night of music.
