  • 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.

    The Play That Goes Wrong

    "Broadway’s funniest and longest running," they tell us of this play-about-a-play. Welcome to opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor, in which things go from bad to disastrous – with an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). This hilarious spectacle at the Bass has a professional cast touring from Broadway – because, yup, it takes mighty big skills to pretend to fuck things up this badly.
    Oct. 23-28. Tue.-Fri., 8pm; Sat., 2 & 8pm; Sun., 1 & 7pm. $25 and up.

    Easy Tiger: Shacksbury Harvest Party

    Only thing better than a big ol' Easy Tiger pretzel is a big ol' Easy Tiger pretzel washed down with some excellent cider, right? Answer: No. Because, see, this week the Tiger has flown in a batch of wild apples from Vermont and will be dishing up fresh Tarte Normande (apple tart with cream filling) to accompany a four-cider flight of craft brews from Shacksbury. OMG, catch you next time, pretzels – this E.T. Tuesday is all about the tarts.

    Maggie Rogers, Mallrat

    A post-viral breakout via Pharrell-approved hit “Alaska,” NYU grad Maggie Rogers shaped a folk-influenced dance pop EP with natural sounds and refreshingly organic electronics. The rural Maryland songwriter/producer now previews a 2019 album with undeniable synth cut “Light On,” reflecting earnestly on her atmospheric rise. As Mallrat, Australian songwriter Grace Shaw, 20, delivers slick electro-pop with a hip-hop edge on In the Sky.

Biram (Wed.), and Joe “King” Carrasco (Thu.). Time to testify!

    Street Sects, Exhalants, Burnt Skull

    Behind brilliant 2016 debut End Position, Street Sects broke into industrial and hardcore circles nationally before many Austinites experienced their seizure-inducing concerts. Shaun Ringsmuth continues expanding a craftily composed melee of drum machine beats, black noise bursts, and B-movie samples on The Kicking Mule, while singer Leo Ashline’s gone extra cathartic. Noise punk marauders Exhalants and harsh art duo Burnt Skull maximize terror.
