    Ben Buck's Belated Birthday Bash w/ the Palmer Squares [control room]

    There oughta be a part of this show where Ben Buck blows out 24 candles on a cake while beatboxing. The Austin-born rapper, beatmaker, and human drum machine – known for his rhythmic vocal prosody, clever puns, and rowdy attitude – boasts a typically relentless 2021, issuing mouthwatering instrumental hip-hop LP Whatabanger, a spate of digital singles, and a must-see collaboration with hard-grooving horn section Big Wy’s Brass Band filmed in his family business, Antone’s Record Shop. Friday’s belated soirée doubles as a release show for Aux Cutter, Buck’s group with veteran producer Kevin Naquin and in-your-face rapper Nate Thee Great. Joining the ruckus are Chicago duo the Palmer Squares, who go heavy on the crafty wordplay, and insightful Denton rapper/beatmaker Pudge.

    Lomelda, Claire Puckett

    Hannah Read returned to her Texas hometown of Silsbee last fall after a spell in Los Angeles where the cult indie folk figure also known as Lomelda told Texas Monthly she “was an outsider.” The homecoming followed transformative 2020 LP Hannah, a master class in Read’s simultaneous mesmerizing musical breadth and cozy yet emotionally bristling songcraft. She settles into Austin with a debut performance, joining local artisan Claire Puckett (Mother Falcon, Hikes) for a return to the stage. On the latter’s May EP Dust, an intense, classically influenced guitar core plunges delicate folk melodies to ghostly depths.
