We’ve got a few more photosets to get posted from this year’s ACL Fest, but we were definitely a bit more mellow on our coverage of the third and final day of the festival. At least I was. A bit of that fatigue sets in and you start to make a few decisions on when to chill and relax, so I was psyched to see a few bands on Sunday’s lineup that allowed me to float around because I had seen them before (which, in turn, allowed me to chill). Broken Social Scene was definitely one of those bands and the first one I shot, and I got to see some of the “classics” like “7/4 (Shoreline)” and “Major Label Debut.” Fun times.

Our new contributor Grant Thomas was down at The Sugar Mill for the highly-anticipated return of Pretty Lights to the Big Easy on Saturday night.

The Sunday finale proved to be the finest of the fest with a chock-full schedule brimming with eclecticism. Always great to have this much on the slate to get you back and moving once again after a long weekend. With The Head and the Heart, Walkmen, The Lee Boys, the absolutely insane Bomba Estereo set, [...]

The Head and the Heart was my first set of the day yesterday at Austin City Limits and we were lucky to be able to get up sidestage at Google+ to get a few pictures of the band’s excellent early afternoon performance. For those unable to make it to Austin, the band will be playing [...]

Americana The Beautiful As far as the weather goes, the second day at Austin City Limits was a godsend. Most of the day was committed to Americana, folk, roots and country music (with a brief stop at Skrillex out of pure curiosity) and My Morning Jacket rounded out another excellent day in Zilker Park, inviting [...]

It was my third and final show with them fellers this week (see their cover of Stevie Nicks’ “Wild Heart” below) and they [...]

People, Turn Around Last night at Emo’s Outside I re-realized why I’m such a big Delta Spirit fan and have been since the the release of their rookie record Ode To Sunshine. In short, these guys know how write good songs and deliver them on the live stage every time. Like the great Trevor Hoffman, [...]

Alas, Austin City Limits weekend is upon us. As is generally the case with these monster fests, the amount of talent we’ll be seeing in Zilker Park is hard to fathom and my currently aggressive plan of attack will undoubtedly vary greatly from what actually occurs over the next four days. Deviations will occur – [...]

We’ve Got Another Night Last night at One Eyed Jack’s the young folks came out en masse to catch a glimpse of two profoundly different takes on Americana and country-tinged rock music. With apologies to New Grass Country Club, who had already finished up their set by the time we arrived, J. Roddy Walston & [...]
