Show Spotlight: Covert Curiosity presents Autobus Records Showcase (5/22)

Autobus Records is an artist-owned record label that has worked with and released albums by some of Austin's best indie bands, including Sunset, Brazos, Mark David Ashworth, Weird Weeds, and more. Autobus is a DIY record label that began in 2007, operated by a group of friends that grew out of the Tonewheel Collective, a bi-weekly acoustic show that was documented by the Austinist and the Austin Chronicle.

Do512 and Covert Curiosity are happy to give Autobus the spotlight, with a show at Stubb's indoor on Saturday, May 22, featuring Brazos, Mark David Ashworth, the Weird Weeds, and Sleep Good. Sunset will unfortunately (for us) be on tour and unable to join the party. Tickets are $7, on sale now at Front Gate Tickets. The first 50 people to show up with RSVP will get in the door for $5!
