01/20/07 @ Independence BreweryClap! Clap!, Foot Foot
Double your pleasure, double your fun, double your booze intake. The first in a series of monthly throw-downs, local soiree-starters Party Ends present Draft Sessions at South Austin’s favorite (eh ... only?) brewery. In addition to delicious complimentary Independence Pale Ale (and a $5 suggested donation), clap-happy electro-misfits Clap! Clap! and full-contact sonic stuntband Foot Foot tops this frothy bill. In other words, double trouble.

01/05/07 @ Emo'sFree Week Part 2!
In the words of Europe, it’s the
fiiiinaaaal countdowwwwn ... of Emo’s Free Week. And we reckon it’s gon’ be a loud one; all four nights hover in the goes-to-11 category. On the first Friday of 007, Lounge with the lilting sounds of
Grand Champeen,
Quien es, Boom!, the
Fall Collection, and the
Alice Rose; the
Lemurs, the
Lord Henry,
Clap! Clap!, and
Lomita get the dance party started outside;
Amplified Heat,
Lions,
Full Stride, and the
Flood boil blood inside. Saturday, it’s 1969 with an onslaught that’ll surely shake the lint out of your belly button: headliners
Zykos, the well-toured
Brothers & Sisters, the well-rested
Crack Pipes, and the never-well-behaved
Strange Boys. More noise wafts over from the Lounge with the perfect pairing of
Cue,
My Education,
Horse + Donkey, and
Finally Punk; outside it’s a heavy metal parking lot with
At All Cost,
Warwulf,
Tia Carrera,
Me Infecto, and the
Snake Trap. By Sunday, your liver will have a restraining order against you, but
c’mon – the
Awesome Cool Dudes,
Dogme 95,
When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and
MVSCLS let it all hang out in the Lounge, and Chicken Ranch Records offers the unholy union of
Automusik, the
Troublemen,
Mr. Lewis & the Funeral 5, and the
States. Top it all off on Monday with the sonic blast of the
Onlys,
Ghost of the Russian Empire, and the
Midgetmen. Maybe we’ll come back to Earth, who can tell?

09/02/05 @ ElysiumCentral Texas Power Wresting
Friday! Friday! Friday! To augment the ring in the middle of the Elysium dance floor – which is sure to have more than enough entertainment for the evening – local media collective Super!Alright! presents rockers of every stripe. Japanese cartoon characters Peelander-Z headline after Dallas’ Marked Men throw down just as fast as the Ramones. Austin favorites the Nervous Exits and Gorch Fock support, and San Marcos kids Clap!Clap! open.
