Far from being a congenial band moniker, Nazi Gold effectively suggests how provocative the Austin trio’s music is. Renegade instrument builder Thor Harris (drums) and Jeremy Steen (bass) join Quin Galavis (guitar, vocals) to shake up audiences with hard tunes that leave deep grooves in your cerebellum. Another local trio, Mirror Travel, solidifies the bill with dense, swelling jams laid down by guitar-gripping vocalist Lauren Green and a locking rhythm section. Openers Sur, Marriage, and Haints usher in the madness. – Kevin Curtin
