Wizard Rodeo w/ Deerhoof, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, the Tender Things, Little Mazarn, Pussy Gillette, Grocery Bag, Hemlock, Large Brush Collection, Up Around the Sun, Various Artists
Deerhoof’s sustaining anarchic delight would supercharge any realm – whether kicking off recent Bay Area-set film adaptation Shortcomings (“Sit Down, Let Me Tell You a Story.”), playing Downtown at Parish on Friday (with locals alexalone and Mental Abortion), or headlining the wonderfully weird Wizard Rodeo fest the next day. The noon-to-midnight whirlwind’s placement just east of city limits, at the Long Time sandlot baseball field, perhaps allows the San Francisco band’s two-part Travis County stop. They tote their first of 18 career albums sung in Satomi Matsuzaki’s native Japanese, March’s Miracle-Level.: Upholding the 3-year-old fireside fest’s folky essence, other out-of-towners are Durham songwriting scholar Jake Xerxes Fussell and intricate Chicago chronicler Hemlock. Alongside sets by fest organizers Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country, Little Mazarn, and the Tender Things, further Austinites celebrate standout 2023 releases: Pussy Gillette’s punk-slumped Permanent Trash, Grocery Bag’s psych-scorched debut Break You, and Large Brush Collection’s soft, sturdy single “Forgiveness Is a Gift We Give to Ourselves.” Seeking more autumnal magic? Try a Bill Baird-assisted drone zone, a cozy house stage featuring Ethan Azarian and Up Around the Sun, or a wizard-constructed mushroom dome.Sat., Dec. 2, noon -

“We really took our time and went all out with the production, in house,” emails El Combo Oscuro capitán John Dell about La Danza de las Sirenas. “Glad we got to include a few slow burners that have been cooking a while.” Like tamales for Christmas, the sextet’s debut full-length makes a case for Cumbia Capital ATX with lit cumbias, lean mambos, and sidewinder chichas. Guitars and vintage organs wheedle and weave above a ringing percussive backdrop as warm, mysterious, and psychedelic as magical realism.
