Local Grateful Dead tribute band Deadeye throws its 13th annual celebration of the late Jerry Garcia.

As Messi mania blazes at a fever pitch matching global warming this summer everywhere, Flamingo Cantina fans the flames both ways – cool down and burn down. As openers Alex Cósmico, Colombian native Alex Mendoza and Zach Kursman lit a Latin fire in “Rozal10,” a Rosalía-inspired tribute to the Argentine fútbol GOAT that throbs, bobs, beats, and … bleats. Headliners Chico Selfie, for their part, announced plans to take Austinites to the University of Argentina, the local trio jamming on Messi chants also. Sandwiched like a goalkeeper staring down Leo himself, tributers Onda Stereo revive the Eighties pop en Español of Bueno Aires biggest band, Soda Stereo. Jersey wear optional.

Since 2017 album Here Today, Austin act Food Group has maintained live with ambient-minded, often sorrowful plays in precision-textured rock. The instrumentation stays squeaky-clean and teeming with organic life on latest “Sunny Day,” which previews incoming LP Thee Fantastic under bandleader Eric Lyday, keyboardist Wiley Greene, bassist Luis Rangel, and drummer Jeffrey Olson. Steadfast synth-pop group Pelvis Wrestley and Chase Weinacht of Marmalakes’ new project, Feeling Small, kick off.
