Just when I began to think the Arcade Fire had extinguished to a flicker–The Suburbs is dotted with hits but somewhat lacking when compared to Neon Bible in my humble opinion, they managed to create fireworks once more. Arcade Fire has certainly not lost their flair for the jaw drop. They have carved out their place in rock history by re-imagining the music video. The Wilderness Downtown “We Used to Wait” has taken modern technology and married it to the creative minds and music of Arcade Fire.
In Austin wherever you turn you can find awesome new musical talent. Home town favorites Vallejo have a solid track record of producing quality live performances and stellar music. Though these guys really know how to rock it’s difficult to label them with but one genre–they flirt with reggae in, “Temporary Thing” but manage to lace in the fuzzy, growling rock guitar that is signature Vallejo. They stay true to their world music roots with classic Latino rhythms but infuse every song with enough rock grit to put Vallejo in a category all their own.
As if you really needed another reason to come out and frolic with us this Friday, Double Stereo and the Austin Convention and Visitor’s Bureau are proud to celebrate the launch of Austin Music office’s music micro site powered by Double Stereo. Our staff will be on site to show local artists and music enthusiasts alike what our site and our partnership will have to offer. We are also there to boogie down–it is a party after all! Local funk masters Hard Proof Afro Beat will be jamming their internationally inspired, locally produced, jazz infused, world beats for all to enjoy. If you are a sucker for big brass and reedy sax over African drums and classic funk grooves you’ll appreciate this bunch of home town boys.
First Friday Frolic series hosts its ACVB and Double Stereo night on September 3rd at Club de Ville.
The Austin Music Office, a division of The Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau, will be celebrating the launch of its new music microsite, powered by Double Stereo.
Local bands are encouraged to create a profile and add their music, bio, and merchandise to the site; tourists (and residents) will be able to check out these Austin artists, buy their music, and of course, make plans accordingly to attend a performance. The site will eventually serve as a comprehensive database for Austin acts, and in due time, should be a priceless resource for information on these musicians.
