Cro-Mags, Ringworm, NO/MAS, Brat
The New York band more responsible than almost anyone for fusing hardcore punk with thrash metal, Cro-Mags’ founding member Harley Flanagan solely remains from the lineup who cut the landmark 1986 debut album, The Age of Quarrel. More recent output, such as the 2019 EP From the Grave, features Flanagan growling front and center, besides his usual bass duties. The new material retains the punch and subtlety of a 500-pound jackhammer. They arrive carrying a package of three other thrashsters – Ringworm, No/Más, and Brat.Tue., March 7, 7pm -

Camiba Gallery: discards vessels fragments
This noteworthy new exhibition at Camiba Gallery features the works of 1) Jason Webb, an Austin-based artist who spends his Sundays driving through unfamiliar neighborhoods and photographing once private possessions now publicly disowned, then painting individual piles isolated against white backgrounds; 2) San Antonio-based Benjamin McVey, whose new paintings of vessels represent the artist’s search for quiet space, simplicity, focus and purpose in today’s increasingly complex post-pandemic world; and 3) Austin's own Rebecca Rothfus Harrell, who documents states of flux across the country, reinterpreting remnants of structures that have a history but no longer serve their intended purpose.Through April 15 -
