Free Week w/ JaRon Marshall, Trejo, DJ Hair of the Dog [garage]; Magic Rockers of Texas, Lola Tried, Tied Up, Half Dream [control room]
Let’s get it outta the way first: Empire’s Friday Free Week lineup addition DJ Hair of the Dog is of no relation to Hair of the Dog SXSW party mascot Hank the Chrondog. BUT there is a slight connection in that the show Mr. DJ Hair of the Dog joins will also feature a pop-up from our wonderful Chron crew, who’re there promoting our recently released Music Poll. If you get a minute away from enjoying the top-tier tunes played by HotD’s fellow stage stormers Half Dream, Tied Up, Lola Tried, Magic Rockers of Texas, Trejo, and JaRon Marshall, make sure to visit the table to cast your vote! Hank the Chrondog will not be there, however, as he will be watching the season premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race 17 that night. – James ScottFri., Jan. 3, 8pm. Free. -

Wild Heaven, Prom Threat, Losers, Snack Supper, Hooray Internet
Laura Blewitt Delarosa fronts Wild Heaven, an incredibly fresh and fun take on Nineties alt-rock nostalgia. Songs like “Nicely,” off their summer debut, I Need You, ring reminiscent of mid-Aughts English act Art Brut’s hyperrealistic, minutiae-centric lyricism. The band’s support acts plug their own recent releases. Queer punk/grunge trio Prom Threat’s latest EP, Firewalker, doesn’t disappoint, while emo outfit Losers’ sonically buoyant debut Fear electrifies with its booming single, “Everyone Hates the NRA.” Snack Supper doesn’t “wanna work anymore” and asks life’s hardest questions on “The Machine.” Hooray Internet adds on to 2023’s punchy Jump Ship with smoother psych rock textures on last January’s Don’t Be Mad. – Kahron SpearmanFri., Jan. 3, 7pm -

The Point, Money Chicha, Hotel De Nova, Los Alcos
Another banner year for the LatinATX scene in 2024. Colombian brass fantasy Superfónicos scored a local top-five release with debut full-length Renaceré, as produced by Beto Martinez. Also guitarist for Grupo Fantasma/Money Chicha/Brownout, the Buda-based superproducer likewise rode herd on Maldito Animal, LP bow from Austin trio the Point. Jack Montesinos sings, strums, and plucks bass as smooth, virtuosic, and idiosyncratic as White Denim’s James Petralli, while Joe Roddy’s organ crosses Esquivel with Jimmy Smith, and drummer Nico Léophonte ties it all up Fifties lounge-wise. Rico y buenísimo! Support here by Hotel De Nova and Los Alcos también. – Raoul HernandezFri., Jan. 3, 8pm -
