That excellent Hyde Park bastion of artistry celebrates the wealth of energy and spirit Austin women bring to both sides of the camera, through works by Ave Bonar, Amalia Diaz, Christa Blackwood, Hannah Neal, and Erica Wilkins that illuminate another section of the city's FotoATX festival.
Mark our words: You want to see what this talented man can do with oils on big swaths of canvas. Realism? Yes, but magical realism. Understated, quotidian, almost melancholy – except maybe there's been a quiet little rupture between this universe and another slightly different one, hasn't there?
Straight off last Friday’s release of their eighth LP, Wrong Creatures, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club continues packaging darkwave fuzz rock atop shrieking guitars and minor-key psychedelics. From classic rock convulsions on millennial debut B.R.M.C. to the Americana grit of Howl (2005), the S.F. trio maintains an open throttle. Seattle trio Night Beats offers like-minded third-eye musings.
Spirit of '78: Two of the cinema's greatest poets ever, director Terrence Malick and cinematographer Nestor Almendros, combined forces and created something so beautiful that it touches heaven itself.
Evil Triplet’s psychedelic commandant Steve Marsh returns to the Raul’s-era punk trio that spawned him, Terminal Mind, honoring archival Austin imprint Sonic Surgery’s comprehensive anthology of the Eno-meets-Ramones outfit’s remastered tracks, Recordings. Joining are Frankie Nowhere’s reconstituted glam-punk sensations, the Eastside Suicides, as well as the Farfisa-soaked garage stylings of the Ugly Beats. A nice case of “What year is this?”

Hideout Studios inaugurates its new performance space with this immersive, wordless, improvised tale inspired by Shakespearean tragedies. Audiences will bear witness to the ghosts of a family of unfortunate souls and their doomed acquaintances as they play out their misfortunes over and over again. And was our reviewer impressed? Well, this is what he had to say about the show.
Nearly three decades have passed since Jimmie Vaughan exited the T-Birds to concentrate on Family Style with his kid brother Stevie. Add another 15 years to that, when Antone’s default house band ruled the roost on Sixth Street, and the legacy of Austin’s original blues pioneers comes back into focus. Now SoCal based, Kim Wilson and his harmonica still rule the roost on Top 40 hits “Powerful Stuff,” “Wrap It Up,” and “Tuff Enuff,” with local guitar firestarter Johnny Moeller assuring that the circle remains unbroken.
The PrintAustin wonderments continue at this excellent venue, featuring prints about the sun or made by our sun (as in solar printmaking, cyanotyping, or printing with photosensitive inks) or for the sun (concerning sun- or star-related cultural and natural history). And, note, this Saturday is the last day before the gallery leaves Canopy forever.
