Three live and tight performances from Austin's Politics
 

The Good Music Club: Politics

Live performance footage often abstracts location in these YouTube times, so keep in mind while watching TGMC's three clips here that Politics' sharp, tight, Nineties-reminiscent indie rock emanates locally. That includes the Joy Division/Interpol guitar toll on “In Your Place.” See the band at Pachanga Fest in Fiesta Gardens next Saturday, May 12. Read More | Comment »

Video highlights of four locals from the second TGMC taping
