Music
Ghostland Observatory
Much like the flashy patrons at Formula One, local electronic duo Ghostland Observatory often marks its high-powered dance parties in an electric cowboy get-up complete with spangled cowboy boots – a fitting ode to the Texas State History Museum. Los Angeles sixpiece Fitz & the Tantrums joins Ghostland along with Bob Marley's Wailers in a funky bill. Tje Austin also performs. – Abby Johnston
Bullock Texas State History Museum, 1800 N. Congress
Ray Price
Does Willie Nelson know his favorite crooner’s at 6 & 8:30pm?
One World Theatre, 7701 Bee Caves Rd.
The Wallflowers
After a seven-year hiatus, during which bandleader Jakob Dylan’s solo career never really left the starting gate, the Wallflowers are back with Glad All Over, and it’s as adventurous as anything they’ve ever accomplished. Taking inspiration from acts as disparate as the Clash and Tom Waits, they’ve alchemized a fresh and exciting sound while remaining rooted to the American heartland of their past. – Jim Caligiuri
ACL Live at the Moody Theater, 310 W. Willie Nelson Blvd.
Film
Cinema Club: Forty Guns
One of Fuller's best films is this archetype-busting Western that stars Stanwyck as a leader of gunslingers, who falls for the newcomer in town who kills her brother. Austin Chronicle Editor Louis Black is the guest curator and will introduce the film and take part in a conversation afterward. See "Getting the Shot," Nov. 16, for more on the film.
7PM, Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz, 320 E. Sixth

The Acro-Cats Ambush Austin
TWO SHOWS ADDED – at the ND. But, wait: Acro … cats? Yes, because Samantha Martin guides – and more often than not succeeds in guiding – her team of trained felines as they perform a variety of feats – pole-climbing, rope-walking, cart-pushing, ball-balancing, jumping through hoops, even getting their rock show on. You like cats, you'll probably love this traveling spectacle of Behaviorism + Kawaii. Bonus: A chicken, a groundhog, and two rats. Sun.-Mon., Nov. 25-26, 8pm. $18
ND Austin, 501 N. I-35, 512/485-3001
