    Triathalon, The Marías, Toast

    “I Don’t Know You,” the Marías’ debut single off Superclean Vol. I, crystallizes the bilingual soul-pop trio’s sound. Radiant guitar and popping bass weave through downbeat drums and velvet vocals professing María Zardoya’s love for drummer Josh Conway. 2018 follow-up Superclean Vol. II solidified the Angelenos’ indie ascent. They support Triathalon, NYC purveyors of silky, lo-fi bedroom pop.

      Austin Mac & Cheese Festival

      Talk about a perfect mash-up of comfort food and haute cuisine! This celebration of the childhood/dorm room staple takes that familiar cheese-covered-pasta goodness to the highest level possible without giving the noodles a hit off Willie's Own Bong. Not only a local phenomenon, this event is the start of the national Mac & Cheese Festival tour, with chefs from Portland, Seattle, Dallas, San Francisco, Denver, Philadelphia, and more joining with ATX locals in serving you up bowl after tasty bowl of what certain Kraft executives must have wet dreams about.
      Sun., Nov. 11, 11am-5pm. $45-90.

      Bob Cheevers (birthday show)

      Last year, Cheevers released the 5-CD, 83-song Fifty Years, which compiled his career as a songwriter growing up in Memphis, California pop auteur in the Sixties and Seventies, journeyman Nashville songsmith, and his creative resurgence over the past decade in Austin. Friends gather for his Sunday afternoon bash of outsider ballads, bluesy hooks, and his twangy tenor.

      East Austin Studio Tour

      Here's the second and final weekend of the biggest visual-arts event of the Austin year, the annual Big Medium-organized spectacle of creative goodness, with hundreds of private studios and galleries opening their doors all across the sunrise side of our busy city, for your pretty-much-nonstop opps for shopping, shmoozing, interactive presentations, workshops, parties, and then afterparties into the wee hours of each night. Discover new artists. Rekindle old relationships. Get to actually know the urban hub in which you live! Boots on the everlovin' ground, as they say. Check the EAST website for a brimming trove of details, note that your Austin Chronicle has more coverage online and in print as the event draws nigh, and go ahead, citizen: prepare to be a part of the art deep in the slightly arrhythmic heart of Texas.

      Micael Priest Memorial Service

      It's cliché to speak of the varieties of visual expression as "mark-making," although of course that's ultimately what art is. The term's become just another part of the jargon by now. But marks – marks with an expert pen, crosshatching like you wouldn't believe, precise shading via thousands of dark lines, talented manipulation of ink for days – marks of that high caliber are what distinguished the postering creations and fine art projects of Austin's Micael Priest. Well, that and the imagination that forced those marks to brilliantly evoke so much of this weird-ass city's music culture in the Seventies and Eighties and beyond. And now Priest himself has gone, as they say, beyond – he died on September 11th of this year – and the city's that much less wonderful because of his passing. But this is the time to celebrate the man's legacy! SouthPop's hosting a memorial party for Priest at the Armadillo World HQ – with much art and live music and remembrances – and you're invited. Please email any stories you’d like to share at the memorial. Also, "Wear a Hawaiian shirt, if you have one," the organizers suggest, "as Micael often did."
