The Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival w/ Ley Line, Geto Gala, Indoor Creature, Van Mary
After years of licking our spicy fingers with abandon under the blaring Fiesta Gardens sun, the 30-year-old tradition of the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival pivots to luxuriate at South Congress’ spacious, shady Far Out Lounge. With a go-to locale for pandemic-era outdoor listening to pack sauce samples from 15 commercial bottlers and other spicy fare, the Chronicle music team thought long and hard on the ideal alt-weekly-beloved, “who have I missed hearing live?” acts for the afternoon party. A lineup of Ley Line [7:30pm], Geto Gala [6pm], Indoor Creature [5pm], and Van Mary [4pm], with a DJ set by dub maestro McPullish [3pm], results. Ley Line, local acoustic quartet, moved through languages and musical geographies in serendipitous harmony on sophomore We Saw Blue. Geto Gala united two Central Texas standouts – Bastrop rapper/singer Deezie Brown and alternative R&B local Jake Lloyd – for a nostalgic, Southern-centric February EP. Indoor Creature, local indie-pop sextet, were seen last month leading a buzzing Mohawk with jazz-influenced cuts off aquatic May LP Living in Darkness. Van Mary, emotive indie rock project of singer-songwriter Emily Whetstone, throws fuzzy, lovesick manifestos to hit you right in the gut.Sun., Sept. 12, 3pm. $15 at the door. -

Jeff Lofton Electric Thang Does Miles Davis
Trumpeter Jeff Lofton’s Miles Davis passion is no secret – the veteran ATX jazz musician has done shows based around the music titan’s pioneering work before. Unlike many elites who sing the praises of only the sixties acoustic sounds, Lofton celebrates the electric work of In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew just as often. Lofton’s Electric Thang brings back Chasing the Voodoo Down, a show dedicated to Davis’ wildly influential music from that era. Few herald the strange, uncompromising, and insidiously compelling sonic storms on those records, so hearing them live will be a treat. Presented by KUTX for free.Sun., Sept. 12, 7:30pm -
