Armadillo Day w/ Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, Minor Mishap Marching Band, the Well

Remember the Alamo! An hour up the road, “Remember the Armadillo” spun off after a former National Guard armory-turned-music venue on Barton Springs closed nearly a half-century ago. The Armadillo World Headquarters (1970-1980) revived as a brand last year and its genesis label now also survives to loop the capital’s music history back to its future. The former stacks a free triple bill: psych-soul prog-tet Nolan Potter’s Nightmare Band, metallic doom-pop trio the Well, and homegrown brass fantasy Minor Mishap Marching Band. “With 1970s beer prices… while they last,” plus a fortune teller and AWHQ posters, 6–10pm. – Raoul Hernandez

Exploded Drawing w/ Deantoni Parks, Mu, BuuGee, SPRRØW, Bunycalyx, Yo Cisco Kidd

There was the microburst storm last week, and then there’s the microburst sets you’ll hear at Exploded Drawing on Friday – short but full of jaw-dropping power from a sizzling lineup of artists. The next event in the series of diabolically good beatmakers includes Deantoni Parks, a musician who has played drums with the Mars Volta and John Cale. He’s also collaborated with Sade, Kendrick Lamar, and Flying Lotus. The buoyant atmosphere will float and sting with over half a dozen other musicians, including SPRRØW, a hard psytrance act channeling the producer’s feminine rage while it’s still legal. – Christina Garcia

Hayden Pedigo (album release)

“My name is Hayden Pedigo, and I’m from Amarillo, Texas.” That’s how the young guitarist opens all of his shows – not only due to hometown pride, but also due to the inspiration his music takes from the widescreen vistas and flat desert earth around his city. Pedigo’s ninth and latest album I’ll Be Waving as You Drive Away fleshes out his usually spare sound with added instrumentation and lusher textures without altering his essential, expansive vibe. The former Amarillo City Council candidate celebrates the record’s release at Austin’s favorite outsider record store at 6pm. EOAE-exclusive colored vinyl will be available. – Michael Toland

Mélat

Prepare to be mesmerized by Mélat, her all-women ensemble, and their dreamy R&B vibes. A first-generation Ethiopian American in her hometown, Mélat artfully creates genre-defying music that has its pop beats, duet moments, and always-impressive vocals and songwriting that spin stories about, as Mélat says, love. Her rich soundscape will only deepen with Sarah Hall on the harp, Camille Schiess on violin, Dana Marie on upright bass, and Ashlyn Shanafeld on drums. – Sammie Seamon

Fifth anniversary w/ Sentimental Family Band, Matt Tedder (single release), Mayeux & Broussard

Five years is like 25 in club years, especially when you launch a new venue in the midst of a global pandemic. Still, the South Congress honky-tonk abides and has become the go-to room for Austin’s country and Americana scene. Sagebrush wrangles some of its local mainstays to celebrate, headlined by last year’s Best Country AMA winners Sentimental Family Band slinging their smooth jazzy C&W. Matt Tedder picks a preview of his laid-back tunes from his upcoming sophomore LP, and Mayeux & Broussard bring their bayou-blasted guitars. Two-step lessons kick off the night so you can feel like a regular. – Doug Freeman
