Return of the xx

Four long years have passed since the xx sold out consecutive nights downtown at the Moody Theater. On Wednesday, first installment of this succeeding two-show stand, the general admission crowd on the floor pressed into the barriers to get up close to the London trio. Fueled by that energy and a fervent “oh-em-gees”-ness, the xx delivered.

Hot Luck Festival Announces Snack/Music Pairings

This month’s Hot Luck festival, helmed by local hero Aaron Franklin, may be a what’s what of some of the best American cuisine has to offer, but it wouldn’t be a true Austin festival without music.

Pure Luck’s Payoff

“Outlaw country mixed with Southern rock, mixed with toad licking,” appraises Jeff Pinkus of the rootsy, ne’er-do-well anthems on Pure Luck’s eponymous debut. “It’s got a lot of psychedelia – songs taking you to a different place than you thought you’d go.

If I Could Only Fly: Merle Haggard Covers Blaze Foley

Merle Haggard initially encountered Blaze Foley’s music when he cut “If I Could Only Fly” with Willie Nelson in 1987, after which the country icon became one of the late Austin troubadour’s biggest fans.

Tom Petty Soaks in 40

“I’m thinking it may be the last trip around the country,” Tom Petty told Rolling Stone in December about his Heartbreakers’ 40th anniversary tour. Eight shows into 46, Oklahoma to London (lone European date), Tuesday’s two-hour worship at a rafters-stocked Frank Erwin Center took on the distinct air of victory lap. Petty, 66, indulged freely.

Phoebe Hunt’s Spontaneous Video

At a South Austin carnival, Phoebe Hunt lets her heart shine like bulbs lighting the midway. Persuading strangers to slow dance, traversing the fun house, and indulging on funnel cake, she sings, “Let the stillness in you clear the shadows in me/ Let me look through your eyes and see nothing but peace.”
