Music
Free Week: Sailor Poon, Big Bill, Geranium Drive, Jana Horn, Obscured by Echoes
Two of Austin’s cheekiest freak-out acts team up for a zero-dollar-suggested show. Sailor Poon and Big Bill contended for 2017’s best track title with “White Male Meltdown” and “Clint Eastwood Is My Dad,” respectively. Poon’s B-Sides & Rarities teases their fuming, fem-centric live madness, while Big Bill’s Stand by Your Bill swings clever absurdism to new heights. Psych sleuths Geranium Drive fulfill the venue’s reverberation requirements, with a demure note from songwriter Jana Horn.Tue., Jan. 2, 9pm -

Free Week: White Dog, Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol, Think No Think, Billy King & the Bad Bad Bad
White Dog claims to have been frozen in 1971, a not-unfounded assertion given the Austin act’s bong-loaded acid rock. Goofy name aside, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol cranks a similar gear, updated for the alt-rock masses. Veteran psych-rock power trio Think No Think continues pimping its latest acclaimed missive Silent City, while Billy King & the Bad Bad Bad drag garage rock to the haunted beach.Tue., Jan. 2, 9pm -

Free Week: The Wild Now, Tinnarose, Rival Waves
They say look at the future, but the past is here to stay. The Wild Now string Red River with nostalgia behind Taylor Baker’s sultry, hushed vocals and Drew Walker’s dreamy strings. Think Local Natives with a moodier edge. Tinnarose continues the ride, albeit with a folkier tone. The trio hints at the past with siren vox and psych-rock, as if Joan Baez went rogue. Rival Wave opens, prepping the night’s softness with post-punk grooves.Tue., Jan. 2, 8pm
