  • Music

    John Branch, Gypsy Mitchell

    During the fated second run of the Relatives, a double-Reverend-fronted psychedelic gospel act from Dallas that reemerged in the 2010s, music heads were introduced to Gypsy Mitchell – an unconventional guitarist with deafening flair who deserved his own spotlight. Now mounting a solo turn, Mitchell’s been lighting up the SoCo soul cave with his durag, copious gold chains, and ornament-adorned guitar, which he plays behind his head (and with his teeth). Backed by the elite groove engine of Zach Ernst, Matt Strmiska, and Scott Nelson, plus backup vocalists Goldie Pipes and Jenny Carson – all in velour tracksuits – Mitchell & Co. impressed with forthcoming studio material including standout “Movin’."

    Comedy

    Austin Sketch Fest

    The Austin Sketch Fest showcases the best scripted comedy from Austin and the wily wilderness beyond. This three-day paroxysm of performative power is produced, booked, and organized by the wacky yet stalwart worthies of ColdTowne Theater. Previous festivals have featured Superego, Reductress Live, Paul F. Tompkins, Master Pancake Theater, Latino Comedy Project, Girls With Brown Hair, My Mans, Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting, Vanessa Gonzalez, Tiny Muscles, Bellevue, Maggie Maye, Mary Jo Pehl, and many more groups from NYC, Chicago, L.A., Seattle, Portland, Dallas, and (of course) Austin. This year's iteration will be a doozie, for sure, making up for previously lost (read: pandemic) time with a slate of live shows to shatter your funny bone to smithereenies.
    Sept. 29-Oct 2. $69 all-fest pass.
