Nomo's Musical Hat-trick: KUT 90.5, Waterloo, and Emo's Today

At first I wanted to blog about all the buzz about Nomo's show at Emo's Lounge tonight, but I'm skipping that to mention two lesser known events that involve the funky/experimental/indie nine-member group from Ann Arbor, MI. I decided less hype and more show info.

Why?

Because you have three chances to hear Nomo in Austin, and on the same day. It's not just a rarity in sports (hockey) but a rarity in music tour. These talented musical artists perform live at 2 pm (cst) on listener supported KUT 90.5 FM, on one of the few shows I'm tuned into during the day - Music with Jay Trachtenberg. Mr. Trachtenberg's raspy delivery of some of the hottest indie music acts in the country is what makes me less depressed about being trapped in a soulless day job. That's just a few hours from now, so click on the station ID in this blog and get ready...

If you miss Nomo on the radio but happen to get off the soulless day job early enough, you can see them in person, promoting their latest release Ghost Rock (Ubiquity). It's a turn from their last afro-beat inspired recording, but not any less engaging. See them live at Waterloo Records
(myspace.com/waterloorecords) on 6th & Lamar - 5 pm.

And if you miss two golden listening opportunities, don't worry. There's golden opportunity #3 for you to hear Nomo live at Emo's Lounge (myspace.com/emosaustin). The fun starts at 10 pm with local wonders Loxsly. $8 tickets are still available, so you may order them here.

Don't miss one (or all three) of these opportunities to hear Nomo, because for a while (or at least until the next promotional tour) there will be no mo...
