But I Just Like Music

It’s no secret that we absolutely, without a doubt, 100% love Freelance Whales. I’d even swear it on the grave of Nickelback’s career (RIP, 2003). After waiting a looooooong time, they’re finally releasing their new album Diluvia on October 9th, which makes me one happy Sissyphis. Even better? Their 2nd show after this epic and [...]

One of our favorite bands from the wonderful Elephant Six collective (remember those guys?) will be in town this Friday for a performance at Sons of Hermann Hall. For those unfamiliar with The Olivia Tremor Control – they’re an experimental indie rock band – kind of like Apples in Stereo minus the pop sensibilities. And [...]

That’s right. We’re giving away 2 tickets to the sold out Jeff the Brotherhood/the Kills show tonight at the Granada Theater (home of our favorite new haunt, Sundown). How did we make this happen? Magic, my friends, magic. If you haven’t heard about this goodness that is this lineup, check our show preview post. We’re expecting [...]

Alright folks, in the spirit of America’s best cyber shopping holiday of the year, we’ve got a few pairs of Cyber Monday (it sounds so dirty, doesn’t it?) tickets to Sunday’s Rachael Yamagata show at The Loft. Her support includes Mike Voila. Want to go? It’s easy, we promise. Step 1: RSVP to the event [...]

In case you missed it (and, sadly, we did) – Young the Giant played a free show in Dallas last night to celebrate the launch of the new Windows Phone. Luckily, for latecomers like us, there’s another show tonight, and we have 2 pairs of VIP tickets to give away! That’s right – not only do you get [...]

Just got a pretty sweet giveaway for you thanks to our friends Tactics Productions. You know you want to go to Wednesday’s Holy Ghost! show at the Prophet Bar. Nothing like a mid-week dance party to get you over the hump for smooth sailing to the weekend. We’ve got a few pairs of tickets that [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, Feist is back. Just following the release of her new album Metals on October 4th, she’s blessing our fair city with her presence with a show tonight at the Majestic Theater. This is her first release since her iPod-famous tune “1-2-3-4″ after her 2007 album “The Reminder,” and after a “break” from [...]

I love going to concerts and festivals just as much as the next guy, but I don’t know how much longer I can afford $40 here, $50 there and then the occasional $200 festival pass. It’s just too much, especially for a student. I know a lot of people are in the same boat and [...]

As ACL wraps up today, we’re reminded of the now rapidly approaching Fun Fun Fun Fest. In its 6th year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has slowly developed a reputation as the cooler, less expensive, and less crowded alternative to the madness that is Austin City Limits. This year, the festival organizers have taken it to [...]

Remember how we mentioned this really cool show coming up on Thursday at the Prophet Bar? C’mon. It was our last post! Either way, we’ve got a single pair of passes to give to you, our wonderful readers, for this much hyped show. How can I win, you might ask? It’s easy! All you have [...]
