      Davis Gallery: Of Warp and Weft

      The elegant carved wood sculptures of Caprice Pierucci. The photographs of delicate cheesecloth drapings by Charles Heppner. Together they make for a compelling dialog of harmony, form, and composition – complicating the walls of this excellent gallery. (See our full review right here.) Recommendation: See the art, then grab some great food at the Soup Peddler location just a few blocks away.

An expansion of the earlier crowd-pleaser from the city-ranging series, this vehicular event is an evening-length spectacle inspired by car movies Drive, Baby Driver, and The Fast and the Furious, with 10 dancers embodying an exploration of grit, noir, and immersive momentum – with an original score by William West.

      Drummer Babes w/ Kay Odyssey, ST 37, 3Radio Tiger, the Sophies, Endless Sewer, the Spoils

      From Kay Odyssey’s shimmery psych to experimental Austin rock veterans ST 37 or raucous new outfit Endless Sewer, Drummer Babes’ six-band bill featuring female-identifying drummers traverses a spectrum of genre. Spotlighting local women holding down the rhythm section, the showcase serves as a platform for female representation still often overlooked in the homegrown scene.: Kay Odyssey drummer Vajaja (née Virginia) Valejo credits her own twentysomething years as a percussionist to witnessing other women kick ass behind a drum kit after she first moved to Austin in 1990.: “Fuckin’ Teresa Taylor of Butthole Surfers!” she exclaims. “I worked with her at School for the Blind and she was just a total inspiration to me. Terri Lord is also a queen. They put the bug in me. I was like, ‘Fuck yeah, I wanna do that.’”: The Alice native became immersed in the state capital’s early-Nineties underground scene, living with a bunch of musician friends on North Lamar and going on to form punk bands like SplendorKünt, Vibrolux, and Unhung Heroes. She notes that seeing women playing drums proved rare back then, and there’s been an upswing in the past several years. Still, Valejo wants more, and thinks events like Drummer Babes can help with empowerment.: “Hell yes,” she asserts. “I hate to separate men from women drummers, ’cause I hate it when people come up to me with, ‘Oh man, you’re so good for a girl.’ Having said that, I also think we do need to be held up ’cause we’re so underappreciated, man.: “There are some amazing, badass female drummers here in Austin, and everywhere,” Valejo continues. “Karen Carpenter is one of my idols and so underrated and so overlooked as a drummer, in my opinion. We’re reclaiming our shit, saying, ‘Fuck you, women all the way.’” – Libby Webster

      Green Velvet

      Chicago raver Curtis Jones reformed Christian in his late 40s after a bad trip and some bargaining with God. Spinning with Jesus in his heart and water in his hand, the now-51-year-old DJ keeps pace with the soulful techno and house releases that launched his career in the Nineties. Jones wrote hits as Cajmere (“Percolater”), while exposing future house icons like DJ Sneak on his Cajual and Relief Records.

      Lucky Stiff

      Here's that musical comedy by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, in which an unassuming English shoe salesman inherits $6 million from an American uncle. But there's a catch: He has to take a vacation to Monte Carlo with his uncle’s embalmed body and convince folks that the man’s still alive. Michael McKelvey directs, and the cast is scary good.

      Whiskey Shivers, Otis the Destroyer

      Shoving off to Europe for the better part of three months, trashgrass fivepiece Whiskey Shivers make an increasingly rare appearance on home turf. The Pitch Perfect 3 have turned the Eastside party shack and outback into the free-for-all site of their stompin’ bluegrass prowess, which now garners crowds of 1,000 strong singing harmony and stomping feet. Self-described “sexy time” ATX rockers Otis the Destroyer open. – Abby Johnston

      Wreckless Eric, The Zoltars

      Legend has it this landmark of Stiff Records’ late-Seventies dominance on the British indie charts was five songs into a tepidly received set late last millennium when he finally announced, “Do you want me to play ‘Whole Wide World’?” Stunned at the deservedly tumultuous response to his signature hit, he rejoined despairingly, “Do you ever want to hear me play anything else!?” Eric Goulden wrote other garage-pop gems, but “Whole Wide World” remains two-chord eternal – Tim Stegall
