River Revival Day 1 w/ The Mighty Orq, Moving Matter, Urban Heat, Giacomo Turra, Honky Tonk Blood Brothers

There’s a clear headliner at the River Revival Music Festival every year, and it’s the river. Attendees spend the weekend tubing, swimming, rope-swinging, and lounging in a particularly beautiful bend of the mighty Guadalupe. But there’s also a stellar headliner with Texas psych rock standard-bearers the Black Angels, whose echoing drones comprise their own sonic estuary. The weekend flows with Austin talent like Urban Heat, Tomar & the FCs, Night Drive, Sheverb, and the Tiarras, but also tube-in for L.A./Denton psychers Pearl Earl and vibrant Nashville garage twosome Volk. Tickets include free meals and camping for the hungry and tired river rats. – Kevin Curtin
