Bullet the Blue Sky
Space-rock cowboys Primordial Undermind play their last show as a local band at Beerland on Sunday with the equally confounding Iron Kite. $5 cover goes toward The Church of the Friendly Ghost.
Hurricane Ivan permitting, Austin bard Jeff Klein is about to hole up in New Orleans' French Quarter with pal Greg Dulli to record the follow-up to last year's acclaimed Everybody Loves a Winner. Look for it in early 2005.
In honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day, which really is an actual day, the Jolly Garogers walk the plank Sunday at Headhunters. Avast!
"Nine gigs in seven days," croaked an exhausted David Beebe after the El Orbits' Hole in the Wall set last Sunday. Beebe has time to rest now, because his swamp-rocking Conrads have postponed their Hole show from this Sunday to Oct. 10.
Congrats to proud parents John and Sarah Wickham, who welcomed Elysium heir John Alexander Sept. 9. Next up in the Red River baby brigade are the Wickhams' across-the-street neighbors, Woody and Adriana Wiedeman of Room 710. Their bundle of rawk is due in January.
Austin shredders Powderburn have been added to what is easily the metal show of the year: Slayer, Mastodon, and Killswitch Engage at San Antonio's Sunset Station Dec. 3.
