Formula One U.S. Grand Prix
Remember when F1 smashed into Austin in 2012, and all the maneuvering to put the U.S. Grand Prix at the end of the season, away from the hottest months? Pleasant temps and blue skies is hardly the bleak depths of winter, but it’s ideal conditions for possibly the most challenging race since the sport returned to American shores. It’s not a Grand Prix without music, and this time COTA is going with a one-two punch of Justin Timberlake and Stevie Wonder. So if fast cars or sexy backs are your thing, this weekend has got you covered.Fri.-Sun., Oct. 20-22 -

Protomartyr, Flasher, Street Themes
Joe Casey thrives on unease. The Protomartyr frontman delivers dystopian narratives with an air of cool as post-punk rages beneath him. That disinterested drawl/bark often sounds at odds with the tense unease of the instrumentation, like he’s already given up entirely. The Detroit quartet’s raging fourth album, Relatives in Descent, dropped two weeks ago and wades further into Protomartyr’s angular, industrial wasteland.Fri., Oct. 20, 9pm -
