ACL Live Shot: Fidlar

There’s a first time for everything. At least that’s what I told myself while rolling out of bed at 9am Friday to make it out to Zilker Park by noon. I’ve never been in a rush to catch a 40-minute festival set before the sun starts setting, but here I was, girlfriend in tow, standing under the brutal sun watching a bunch of idiots play in a band called Fidlar.

Dazed But Not Confused: Kurt Vile

Kurt Vile gives us hope. He never had a big break, but rather became popular in the most elemental of ways – good music over a goodly period of time. His smoky voice and gently diffusing guitar now welcomes an audience far beyond any cultish origins. Tonight’s show – outdoors at Mohawk – prompted a call to the six-string virtuoso.

Blinded by the Light: My Bloody Valentine

Kevin Shields was alive, that was all some people needed. Consistently frazzled, debatably conscious, and potentially optimistic, the guitarist and the rest of his Dublin quartet arrived at the Austin Music Hall Friday, the frontman his usual lunkish self, draped in ill-fitted fabric and blinded by the light.

Chaos in Texas Live (Finale): The Field

There’s nothing mainstream about the Field. Stockholm DJ Axel Willner’s capricious slash of minimal house groove belongs to a very niche group of people. Someone so fetishized should rightfully end up at Chaos in Tejas.

Chaos in Tejas Live (Saturday): Andy Stott

Of all the sounds at Chaos in Tejas – all the different sonic symbols that informed our expectation: fiery, tumbling screams; molten guitars; scratchy, caveman-punk drum blasts – I can almost guarantee that Andy Stott’s were the only ones to open a show with a dense, low, quicksilver bass rumble.

Chaos in Tejas Live (Night No. 2): The Men

The Men aren’t a novelty. The Brooklyn quintet remains fast, loud, aggressive, and unpretentious, with a new LP every year since 2010. Workmanlike. If there’s anyone still fetishizing their good ol’ days, better jump aboard the New Moon.

Chaos in Tejas Live (First Night): Parquet Courts

A schism split Red 7 in half Thursday. The heat hung low inside the club, caked with dewy sweat from dudes in spikes and stinky leather. Clad and dedicated for a night of wrought-iron punk and metal, they probably spat through their teeth at the collegiate crowd outside for Parquet Courts.
