Video: The Flaming Lips on Letterman
Hands down the best sounding musical guest I have ever seen on Letterman in a while. And I have to say it's nice seeing the bands ability to give a great performance without all the theatrics that they have become known for. The band will be in Austin on Sunday October 10th for the Austin City Limits Festival. They play the AMD stage at 6:00pm.

Guards

There doesn't seem to be much info about Guards, but I imagine that'll change in the near future. The band has a 60's style sound that features lo-fi guitars definitely worthy of a listen. Hear all seven songs from their EP down below, including standout tracks, "Resolution of One", "I See It Coming", and "Sail It Slow" featuring Cults.
Download the EP for free at their bandcamp page.
The Weekend | 7/23 - 7/24
Two things to keep you busy this weekend.

Tonight:
A Space Odyssey at The Scoot Inn
Featuring GOBI, with the EP Release of 'Poltergeist Arcade'
featuring Zorch and the Triple Headed DJ Set from Richard Gear, King Louie, and Hoodie Allen
July 23rd - $7 door or $5 with RSVP on Facebook
Doors at 9pm, 21 and up welcome

From Learning Secrets:
Saturday July 24th at Beauty Bar LS is throwing BLACK GOLD DISCO, an immense non profit party in the name of supporting the Endangered Species Coalition and their oil spill wildlife rescue efforts!
Please Take a moment of your day to check out their website
http://oilspillwildlife.org/
THIS NIGHT ISN'T ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN RAISING SOME MONEY TO SAVE THESE ANIMALS!
We're asking for a suggested donation of $10, but if all you can spare is $3 then that's totally radical too! Donating is awesome! Doing it whilst partying harder than you have all summer is even more bodacious, and we want to do it together with you!
Check the deets:
-- For every Lone Star you order, Birds Barbershop is gonna donate an extra $1 bill to the night! AMAZING!
-- We're super psyched to have both Bodytronix and Candi & The Strangers sharing the dance floor with us!
-- Both The Glitoris and the fine people of Knuckle Rumbler are getting in on the cause as well and will be on hand lending support!
We hope to see you all there for this amazing chance to make a difference!
