BAVU BLAKES
Aces Lounge, Sunday, Nov 8
No one has done more for Austin hip-hop than Bavu Blakes. He’s splitting town this month, bound for California, but not before hosting one final blowout. D-Kutz, Blacklisted Individuals, and more grace the mic from 6-10pm. They’re followed by the League of Extraordinary Gz, Crew54, Blaxsmith, and Kevin Jack after Waterloo Park clears out. Bavu, the Master of Ceremonies, spits at both 9pm and midnight. – Chase Hoffberger
BOBBY BLUE BLAND, BARBARA LYNN
Antone's, Sunday, Nov 8

Barbara Lynn
East Texas blues doesn’t get more real than this. From Beaumont comes the gutsy, swamp-tinged blues of singer-guitarist Barbara Lynn, sure to tell you “Don’t Lose a Good Thing.” From Houston, Bobby Blue Bland, crown jewel in the Duke label, exhorts “Turn on Your Love Light” with his mighty vocals. Both were early-days Antone’s highlights, so if you didn’t get to the club for Clifford’s birthday, here’s your chance to get the blues in classic style. – Margaret Moser
TONY CAMPISE BENEFIT
Elephant Room, Sunday, Nov 8
Ephraim Owens, Jeff Hellmer, Elias Haslanger, and others rally around the local jazz player.
FUN FUN FUN FEST
Waterloo Park, Sunday, Nov 8
Now in its fourth year, Fun Fun Fun Fest has gone from a one-day experiment to a two-day mid-fall respite between ACL and SXSW. This year, the heavy OGs (Danzig, the Jesus Lizard) mix with the old (D.R.I.), the new (Kid Sister), the borrowed (Metallagher), and the blue (Destroyer). You can also get “vert” on a skate ramp, screenprint a bandana, chow down at local favorites like Frank and the Parlor, then get on the mechanical bull and see what happens. See our preview for the interviews, reviews, and more capital F fun. – Audra Schroeder
