In case you missed it, we had posted quite a bit of coverage from this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival. It was my first time down there and I ran a full set of galleries from all the amazing artists I got the privledge to shoot, and our very own Wesley Hodges took the reigns for Live Music Blog: NOLA and wrote some amazing recaps from each day of the festival. Check all that out here.
In case you thought that it stopped there, we’ve probably got at least one more gallery / recap coming with all of our coverage put together in a nice pile and we’ve got to start paying attention to lineup clues for next year now that the early-bird tickets for ACL Fest 2012 are going on sale tomorrow to anyone of the festival’s newsletter subscribers. If you haven’t signed up yet, it’s too late to get in on the $185 tickets tomorrow. After that, a three-day pass is going to cost you about $200 (at least). Get on it, son! READ MORE

Mickey Hart and
Bill Kreutzmann, the rhythm section behind The Grateful Dead, is hitting the road this summer as The
Rhythm Devils promising some highly danceable electronic and percussion driven grooves. Peep the interesting choice of bandmates on this next run…
But the 2010 incarnation of the Rhythm Devils is guaranteed to be unlike anything that’s come before—the dynamic mix of the musicians’ individual but complementary styles and approaches is sure to lead to some serious sparks. “It’s a great combination,” says Hart. “You have the deep trance music from Nigeria and West Africa that Sikiru brings to us and there’s Davy who at any moment just might rip the sky apart with his guitar and Andy Hess is a real gem of a bass player. Joining us for the first part of the tour is the ‘one man band’ Keller Williams and on the second part of our tour is Tim Bluhm, who will bring his ferocious California guitar style and beautiful vocals to the mix.”
Dates after the jump. Keller also just put out a new album of covers called Thief
. Anyone get a chance to listen to it yet? How does it stack up to all things Keller? READ MORE
