    102.3 the Beat Holiday Jam w/ Ja Rule & Ashanti, Juvenile, Lloyd, Trina, Ying Yang Twins, DJ Fame & Sean Da Don

    The two New Yorkers set up shop on top 40 radio stations throughout 2002 and 2003, thanks to a successful spark lit by matching the nascent R&B singer’s hypnotic hooks with the thug personas of her Murder Inc. Records labelmates. In recent years, Ja Rule has perhaps conceded that running back timeless, multi-platinum duets such as “Mesmerize” and “Always on Time” earns more praise than helping promote the farcical Fyre Fest. Support includes Juvenile, Lloyd, and Trina.

    Maddie & the Deadnames, the Pinky Rings, Transy Warhol, the Deadcoats [inside]

    Girls’ night out? More like grrrls’ night out when San Marcos’ and Austin’s femme-fronted punk acts share a Mohawk stage. Summoned from 30 minutes south, Maddie and the Deadnames stir up rowdy roots guitar hooks and booming vocals on their self-titled August EP. Opener “Underground” shreds thumping blues, while standout “Dust” cycles serpentine riffs and howls. Skate punk quintet the Pinky Rings preserve the riot with a thrashing taste of “Potential Spam.” Transy Warhol wields artsy post-punk sensibilities à la the B-52’s, while the Dead Coats kick off with 2021 surf-grunge twist Big Wish.

    Damian García Quintet

    If you’ve watched a Monks show, chances are Damian Garcia manned the 88s. One of many great pianists in town (how is Austin not considered a hub for jazz piano?), Garcia’s versatility reflects his education: He studied everywhere from Texas A&M (Kingsville) and Texas State to Berklee and the University of North Texas, graduating from its prestigious jazz studies program. His ability to gracefully navigate the balance between spotlighting his talent and supporting the band makes him the in-demand performer he is. Not as common as his side work, Garcia’s leader dates deserve attention.

    Wild Bill's Honky Tonk Holidaze

    If you fed a supercomputer A Charlie Brown Christmas, every South Park holiday special, footage of Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screenings, and the New Testament, then blew copious bong hits into the circuitry, it’d churn out a script with half the humorous heart of Honky Tonk Holidaze. The 11-year running musical, written/directed by Wild Bill Ogden and performed by a cast of Austin musicians, tells the story of a divorced, magic dust-addicted Santa trying to save Christmas from Krampus, cops, and atheist children. Tacky holiday outfits encouraged.
