The hype is very real, Reader: Austin’s very own cinema-for-the-people Hyperreal Film Club has secured brick-and-mortar status. Help ’em make the new locale as tricked out as possible by attending the kickoff event for their new Kickstarter campaign. Of course, Reader, you’ll be rewarded for your charity with an awesome experience that includes live music from Loteria, Sentimental Family Band, and a DJ set by Veronica Ortuño; two-step lessons; cowboy karaoke; and a mechanical bull. Tickets run 15-20 bucks, depending on your budget, so grab ’em while they’re hot and start planning your Western wear. You’ll be wanting to dress to impress, ain’t that right? – James Scott

Rob Garza, half of electronic duo Thievery Corporation, married heady downtempo and trip-hop influences with bossa nova, reggae, and Middle Eastern music in the early Aughts. As a DJ, he spotlights lounge-making, housey daytime disco. He’ll go back to back with fellow shapeshifter Matthew Dear, who glides between worlds of techno and indie and is beloved as a dark, accelerative dance floor commander during his live sets, broad-ranging DJ, flexible producer, and respected label leader. Dear last played Kingdom as a secret weapon headliner for the club’s resurrection in August 2022, in a set abridged by authorities around 2am. Ian Orth and James Jones join the bill. – Christina Garcia
