Show Spotlight: Blank Fritz, Missions, Spells and Sorne at The Ghost Room (Tonight)

We are winding down to the last few shows at The Ghost Room before it closes it's doors and tonight Knuckle Rumbler has a great one for you. Blank Fritz (formerly Sunset), Missions, Spells (formerly MothFight) and Sorne all for only $5. I notice I have been doing a lot of (formerly)'s lately. What's with bands changing their names all the time? And while were on the subject why are they Sunset on the Gorilla vs Bear bill but Blank Fritz on this one? And when did they lose the {{{ }}}?? Is it time for me to change my name and play the (formerly Ultra8201) card? These questions plague me... Whatever he goes by Bill Baird is one of Austin's greatest talents and Missions are phenomenal so DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW. Oh and if you show up on a bike you get $1 Lone Star!

Tonight! Lean Hounds, The Nouns, Low Times and These Are Words at The Ghost Room

We are taking a break from all this pre-SXSW madness to sponsor an awesome show with awesome people tonight at the Ghost Room. Some of Austin's best and brightest on stage and absolutely no cover charge. Doors are at 9pm and all the other info is below. See you there!

My grandfather always used to say "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb," and local party enthusiasts Knuckle Rumbler seem to be taking that literally with their next round of shows at the Ghost Room on March 3rd, sponsored by The Republic of Austin, Ultra8201 and Red River Noise. Last month it was free Harpoon, this month it's free entry, which means more funds for the Ghost Room special (a shot of Jack and an ice cold Pearl) and plenty of merch, which you'll be eager to snatch up in the wake of Lean Hounds and the rest of the bill. Ex-members of Haunting Oboe Music, Lean Hounds conjure the same raw, biting overtones as early Modest Mouse with their stripped-down approach, only the euphoric, wavering synth lines that hover off in the distance make you feel as though your Baby Blue Sedan is submerged in water. These Are Words build you up for Lean Hounds with their twangy, off-kilter burst of composed aggression that takes the form overcast surf guitar and cosmically entrancing vocals. The Nouns and Low Times get you started with their uptempo, eclectic blend of angst-driven rock which starts promptly at 9:00, so make sure you scrounge up the free cover and get to the Ghost Room in time to catch all the revelry before it's too late.

Ultra8201's 4th Anniversary Party | The Ghost Room (1/28)

We are extremely proud to announce that this site turns 4 years old in the next few weeks. It's hard to believe that something that started out as something to kill time when I first moved to Austin has turned out the way that it did. We have seen amazing shows, made a ton of new friends and gotten into all sorts of situations that we never thought possible.

To celebrate the occasion we thought we would do what we do best and put together a party. Seeing that one of the first bars I ever went to when I moved here was the Ginger Man is seemed fitting to have the party at the bar's old location. The newly renovated (and renamed) Ghost Room.

The whole thing goes down on Thursday, January 28th and we really hope you can join us. Providing the music will be three Austin bands we love - New Roman Times, The Authors and Politics.

To compliment the music there will be cheap drinks and Annie Ray will be on hand to take photos of all you beautiful people. Please click on the link at Do512 for a chance to win tickets to the show.

All the thanks in the world to Above The Radar PR, Knuckle Rumbler, Austin Eavesdropper, Do512, Austin Town Hall, Sailor Legs, The Peen Scene, Learning Secrets, the #htm and Annie Ray for all of their help in putting this together.
