    NYE: the Last Dance at the COCO Complex w/ Peligrosa, the Brothers Groove, Cyber Queen, Rue & Soullareal

    Fourth Street’s double-decked Coconut Club is the closest Austin gets to an adult playhouse. The winding complex of four vibrant spaces, however, has been sold to incoming developers, who are poaching the lot for a 40-level high-rise. As historic landmark status was ultimately denied for the block’s stretch of LGBTQIA nightlife, Coco’s NYE programming doubles as a hello and a goodbye, bolstered by a bill of DJ mainstays. Y2K’s Cyber Queen showcase helms the electric Neon Grotto, while Afro-beat and funk command the Laser Pit via the Brothers Groove. Downstairs, Cuatro Gato hosts all-star spinners Rue and Soularreal, while long standing collective Peligrosa inject bass into Latin folk on the rooftop. Though the $20 all-access event is branded as Coco’s last dance, the club has yet to announce a closing date. Whether a countdown to eventual demolition or the last minutes of 2022, Coconut Club always promises a celebration of life.

    NYE w/ Daikaiju, Die Spitz, Narrow Haunts, Marry Cherry

    Need a holi-date? Tall, energetic, fiery – Daikaiju hatched in Alabama, steeled in Houston, and purportedly featuring an Austin tail whip. The fourpiece surf punks live up to the translation of their name from Japanese: roughly “great strange beast.” Following up a Halloween detonation at Kick Butt Coffee, the sonic spectacle will have to set off its NYE fireworks on the sidewalk outside either side of the Drag’s live music colossus. Locals still talk about Daikaiju’s Terror Fest showcase of 2019: “Daikaiju delivered ATF's most scorching experience,” reported Rachel Rascoe. “Set up on the floor of Empire Garage, the fiery spectacle turned into pyrotechnic mayhem while fans acted as human drum risers.” A trio of locals light the fuse.

    NYE trash disco & glam rock & roll tribute w/ Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, Moving Panoramas, Gus Baldwin & the Sketch, A Giant Dog, Billy Glitter, Acid Carousel, Je'Texas, High Heavens, Rusty Dusty, Magic Rockers of Texas, DJ Pagame

    Pilgrimage to the “trash disco, glam rock n roll dance party” at Hotel Vegas and the Volstead Danceteria is a sacred rite, showcasing a powerhouse lineup of local punk and psychedelia to cleanse your soul with a baptismal wash of classic covers. Ferocious guitar licks howl to the tunes of the Damned (represented by Austin’s Gus Baldwin & the Sketch), Black Sabbath (je’Texas), and the Sex Pistols (Chepo). Glitzy tributes to Blondie (Moving Panoramas) and Olivia Newton-John (Leslie Sisson & Sabrina Ellis) promise to pour chic vocal melodies as incantations to the year ahead, while Big Star (Rusty Dusty) and Steely Dan (Billy Glitter) shred all negative vibes with a wave of their whammy bars. David Bowie (Moonage Daydreams), Todd Rundgren (Nolan Potter), and Lynyrd Skynyrd (Jim Campo) odes round out the stellar exaltation.
