ROCK'N'ROLL ALL NIGHT AND PARTY ON FRIDAY!
And we're happy to be bringing a dance worthy day party to the spacious and inviting South Austin brewpub ABGB with a nice mixture of old and new friends.
5 pm - Pong
Austin veterans of Ed Hall and many other acts combine for a proto-rave vibe reminiscent of Brian Eno's early solo albums. They released their latest album "Gone" via Saustex in 2014.
4 pm - Seis Pistos
Kinetic skate punk via Chihuahua, Mexico. I caught these guys twice last fall - great presentation with a sharp syncopated sound. Their version of "Stairway to Heaven" is the best.
3 pm - Pocket FishRmen
Sci-fi punk metal with lyrics inspired by everything from a past president's daughter to face-ripping chimps to prostate cancer. If these guys don't make you laugh and move you are too old.
2 pm - Gay Sportscasters
As they are possibly celebrating their 20th anniversary as a concept and band during this year's SXSW the revolving cast of boys and girls in the 'caster crew continue to deliver fun on demand with party hits like "Paul Lynde" and "Canihavasoda".
1 pm - The Stingers
Anchored by Jonny Meyers (late of Brooklyn), The Stingers bring their traditional ska and rock steady sound back to Austin for the first time in recent memory. They inspired a lot of baby-making auditioning back in the day.
noon - Bachaco
I haven't caught this hard-working and touring band out of Miami in the past couple of years but I imagine all the road work has only served to hone their live show and reggae infused, Latin influenced brand of ska rock.
FRIDAY MARCH 20th noon - 6pm FREE! 16 +
