  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Marissa Nadler, Louisianna Purchase, Water Damage

    Austin’s most evocatively named venue is more likely to host emo nights than opulent masquerades. Even so, you could probably trick me into believing Saturday’s performer has an album of haunted gothic folk titled The Spiderhouse Ballroom somewhere in her expansive, 20-year back catalog. As Nadler’s music progresses further past its spare, acoustical roots (these days, she’s collaborating with former Cocteau Twins on albums titled after clouds, which should give a sense of the sonic lushness), her live shows become increasingly valuable. A chance to hear one of indie’s ghostliest artists at her most entrancingly spectral. Openers include drag star Louisianna Purchase and noise jam travelers Water Damage.

      Here & There Festival w/ Courtney Barnett, Indigo De Souza, Ethel Cain

      Punctuated by staccato chord stabs, Courtney Barnett sings a nomad manifesto on “Scotty Says” off 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas: “I got lost somewhere between here and there/ I’m not sure what the town was called.” The song story-tells her formative years of vagabonding across the Australian desert to perform and touring across unfamiliar destinations in North America and Europe.: Eight years later those dots on a map have transformed into a rich connection of musical communities. Like a hand-picked mixtape, the Here & There Festival sports a different lineup for each city, with Austin’s being Barnett, Indigo De Souza, and Ethel Cain.: On last year’s Any Shape You Take, De Souza wrings out heartache drip by drip. Love glimmers only for a second like a “fleeting lover, grocery goer” in “Late Night Crawler,” but heartbreak lasts a lifetime where remnant thoughts of an ex linger like a ghost.: Off the heels of her debut Preacher’s Daughter, Hayden Anhedönia’s alter ego Ethel Cain unspools a yarn that threads familial trauma and the stranglehold of a Southern Baptist upbringing. Recorded and produced in her bedroom, the album teases pop charm as the single “American Teenager” encapsulates the blooming guitar slabs of an epic Eighties ballad while interpolating an American fantasy of youthful ennui.

      LOLA: Lardo Weeping

      This is an original opera from award-winning composer Peter Stopschinski, based on an adaptation of Terry Galloway and Donna Nudd's one-woman play of the same name, centered on "reclusive genius Dinah LeFarge, a clever, agoraphobic, quite sexual woman of independent means who refuses to answer her door unarmed." Dinah is played by Liz Cass, with supporting performances by Nicole Taylor, Page Stevens, Holt Skinner, Alexa Capareda, and Daniela Bennetti; pianist Stopschinski is abetted by Phil Davidson (violin) and Barbara George (cello).
