Two years deep into the 20th anniversary tour for his band’s – or rather, loose-knit collective’s – most beloved album, Kevin Drew is releasing his third solo album. It’s called Aging. You cannot accuse Kevin Drew of lacking a sense of humor. And you likewise cannot accuse You Forgot It in People of aging. More than any of their Aughts indie contemporaries, the smeary, crayon-colored post-pop abstractions of Broken Social Scene’s sophomore breakthrough seem permanently unstuck in time. Indeed, nearly every song has become a mixtape perennial for successive generations of lovestruck teenagers (remember when Lorde name-dropped “Lover’s Spit” on “Ribs”?).
May the shred be with you! This costumed Pennsylvania-based band adds a unique metal twist to songs from the Star Wars franchise. Japanese metalcore group HANABIE. supports.
Steeped in fuzzy distortion and hollow reverb, Austin’s Marry Cherry summons Sixties psychedelia with Britpop flair. The quartet’s summer singles play like a grittier reincarnation of the Stone Roses. Whereas “Colors” paints snazzy rhythms with zipping basslines and pattering bongos, latest release “Won’t Die Slow” churns buzzy guitars into ear-splitting drone. Bubble-grunge getup Farmer’s Wife joins the penultimate night of Marry Cherry’s September residency, delivering splintering riffs and twisted tales via debut EP There’s a Monster. Darkwave duo Dragon Rapid opens. Proceeds will be donated in observance of HAAM Day.
Songwriters such as Akina Adderley, Kalu James, Matt the Electrician, and Suzanna Choffel pay homage to the Newark-born singer-songwriter as part of citywide concerts benefiting the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians.
