Beatles Full Moon Concert in the Dark

On the April Full Moon, come set intentions and indulge in the mesmerizing allure of live acoustic music performed by world-class musicians, surrounded by the warm glow of candlelight. Its a different kind of concert, that begins and ends in darkness, with music and a poem or two surrounding and soothing you. Audience members will be given the choice of bringing their own yoga mats and/or pillows to gaze at the shadows on the ceiling. A circle of chairs will be provided.

ATX Unplugged

Recommended

Music

Paul Kelly, Jess Cornelius

Marking his first North American tour with a full band in over 13 years, Paul Kelly returns behind last month’s Life Is Fine. The Australian icon’s five-decade career surveys stylistic influences, from raw power-pop to surf rock to bluegrass, an Elvis Costello of the Antipodes. His latest returns Kelly’s nasal delivery to prolific, literate wit and masterful melodies. Melbourne’s Jess Cornelius of Teeth & Tongue opens.

Josh T. Pearson, Jonathan Terrell

Soft voice, fast fingers, and universal pain in his eyes, Josh T. Pearson’s voice-of-unreason song scripture remains a treasure. His shoegaze trio Lift to Experience remains a certified cult classic thanks to The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads (2001), but acoustic solo outing Last of the Country Gentleman (2011) lodged in the Lone Star’s hat. Saturday’s sit-down pairs the Limestone County resident with Austin’s Jonathan Terrell, purveyor of smoky, wandering spirit Americana.

PVRIS, Lights, Party Nails

Angst-ridden lyrics, explosive choruses, and heavy guitars positioned Pvris’ eponymous, 2013 debut EP in “emo.” Incorporating electro-pop on full-length bow White Noise, the Massachusetts trio led by Lynn Gunn sided with Purity Ring and Banks without forgoing their Paramore or Circa Survive alt-rock roots. Sophomore LP All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell extends its predecessor, but aims at the jugular.

Music

The War on Drugs, Land of Talk

Adam Granduciel shared some core influences in Rolling Stone recently, all of them heard on his Philly sextet’s fourth album, A Deep Understanding. Opener “Up All Night” breezes Springsteen, while radio runner “Holding On” bleats the Jeff Lynne treble of ELO. Airy, melancholic, romantic, the August LP takes flight in a digital reverie (“Strangest Things”), but hits hyperspace on a motorik uptick (“Nothing to Find”). First night already sold out.

Switched On Presents: Holodeck

From pounding techno to blissful ambient, Austin’s Holodeck Records encompasses electronic multitudes. United by a reverence for jagged waveforms, modular synthesizers form a common thread between local producers Dylan Cameron, Curved Light, and Ju4n. Also appearing at this free showcase with nosh-ables, Los Angeles’ M. Geddes Gengras, who’ll likely deliver a meditative set that could veer into pure noise at the turn of a knob. Las Cruxes owner Veronica Ortuño DJs, while Ginny Benson and Deirdre Smith handle visuals.
