    Mourning After, heel

    On September’s debut double single “Honeycomb/Snatch,” College Station quartet Heel represents both ends of the shoegaze spectrum. Side A scratches sugary like its title as Adharsh Rajavel and Tayla Diza coo boy-girl vocals, more sounds than lyrics, à la MBV. “Snatch,” meanwhile, snarls, as Andres Gonzalez’s drums snap at the front of the mix underneath Rajavel’s buzzsaw guitar. More Seattle than UK, grunge headliners Mourning After – whose members actually split their time between Aggieland and Austin – prefer a rowdier energy: guitarists Zoey Frederick and Ethan Peschel sling sleazy rock & roll licks, prettified by Taytem Ligon’s sung, not screamed, vocals. – Carys Anderson

      Gumma, Born Twins, Day Friend

      Founded by Amir Pirayandeh in 2015 “as a home-recording project,” calling Gumma an “indie-rock” band cuts short the unique possibilities present. Their incredibly promising 2024 full-length Sweetness of Nothing ranges from Seventies yacht rock to stock beats in an old Casio synthesizer to Black Sabbath, sometimes multiple things in the same song (“The Casino”). Indie rock duo Born Twins have a sunny, winning formula in the double harmonies within their strong 2023 release Novelas Cortas. Day Friend’s notable September debut, Penelope, features lyrics clearly drawn from a nightmarish sleep paralysis in a sound reminiscent of the early Aughts revival. – Kahron Spearman

      Dumpstaphunk, Zack Morgan & Friends

      “Phunksgiving!” cried Antone’s principal Will Bridges at the third and final Austin City Limits 50th anniversary taping. Live music capitalist to his last drop, he lit up at the very mention of the New Orleans parishioners. Us too, this spring: “Crescent City scion Ivan Neville led Dumpstaphunk through throbbing NOLA beat voodoo,” we wrote in reviewing the Austin Blues Festival. Son of angelic falsetto Aaron Neville and cousin to Dumpstaphunk guitarist Ian Neville (son of Art), the bandleader’s keyboards and the sextet’s brass jam raise a Mardi Gras dander stretching from Professor Longhair to yes, the legendary Neville Brothers. Zack Morgan supports Friday and a very grateful Deadeye closes Saturday. – Raoul Hernandez

      Wagoneers w/ Monte Warden (9:00)

      Native son Monte Warden cemented his music career at age 6 when he convinced his parents to buy tickets to what would prove Elvis Presley’s final tour, which stopped at Austin Municipal Auditorium (today Palmer Events Center) on March 28, 1977. After his Western teen sensation Whoa, Trigger, the firebrand frontman landed a major label deal with twangbusters Wagoneers and kick-started the ATX alt-country scene a decade earlier than the national trend of the Nineties. Selling out his Dangerous Few sets through the pandemic to now, Warden the crooner rips off his tuxedo to honky-tonk hard at historic dance hall the Broken Spoke. – Raoul Hernandez

      Wild Child & Friends

      When Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins regrouped Wild Child last year, they weren’t sure exactly what to expect. The response to 2023’s End of the World – and subsequent successful reunion tour – inspired a creative rebirth of the band though, with Wilson’s powerful vocals leading the pair’s effortless harmonies through their songs of fraught relationships and complicated loves. Their two-night hometown stand at Scoot Inn unwinds their entire catalog, with night one digging into early favorites and Saturday slinging cuts since 2018. Skylar Rose Wilson and Buffalo Hunt open Friday, and Motenko and Matthew Logan Vasquez set up Saturday. – Doug Freeman
