Bright Light Social Hour (performance & record signing)
Sound of our town? The Bright Light Social Hour! Since clicking on in 2010 with their self-titled bow and hippie city anthem “Bare Hands Bare Feet,” founders Curtis Roush and Jackie O’Brien morphed with the times, from jam-bandy jalapeño peppers sans socks to the new electro-disco refractors of latest and fifth LP Emergency Leisure. “In contemporizing progressive sine waves into retro-futuristic synthwave, TBLSH relights a spectral niche in Austin chillwave,” we wrote. Where once Space Is Still the Place, now the quintet dances, riffs, and pops timelessly Austin: rock, psych, and high – on musical uplift, gourmet local culture, and our Texan oasis.
