    Here Be Monsters brings together 20 of Austin’s fearless indie-classical music groups, featuring 10 world premieres, over 2 nights —lush opera, raw electronics, exhilarating chamber pop, soulful strings, and beyond. This isn’t a concert. It’s a musical celebration, a communal voyage into the musical unknown. And you’re invited!

    DJ Nobu

    Representing Japan as one of international techno’s most respected selectors, DJ Nobu lands like a tornado. The Future Terror event series founder can hit heady territory, dive into a body rhythm, or keep a fast-as-lightning pace. His attention to sound design and reputation for layering hypnotic tracks screams of the influence from Jeff Mills, Rrose, and Marcel Dettmann in tense mood and build. But Nobu’s cultlike status is singular, perhaps owing to his devotion to collaborating with the dance floor rather than directing it. Nick McDonnough’s bass music-meets-techno sorcery provides the perfect runway. Young gun Apellum completes the heat wave. – Christina Garcia

    Allison Russell

    It took Allison Russell nearly two decades and a number of notable folk outfits (Po’ Girl, Birds of Chicago, Our Native Daughters) before she stepped out solo with 2021’s Outside Child, but the accumulated experience helped produce a stunning debut that pulled together a ranging palette of folk and pop styles into an affirmative, poignant celebration of survival. The Canadian songwriter’s follow-up, The Returner, struck even more eclectic in sound and vision, garnering a Grammy and establishing her and her Rainbow Coalition Band as a powerful collaborative force stretching broadly beyond Americana. Kara Jackson opens. – Doug Freeman
