this is the first show in two years for Cartright, who went on hiatus just as they were becoming wildly popular. i'm glad they are back. then the illustriously boisterous Coma in Algiers wreck the scene for the second of their monthly residency nights at the Scoot Inn. and closing shop is Cry Blood Apache, Austin's favorite electrodamage purveyors.

Steve Arceri is one of Austin’s criminally overlooked musicians, his powerfolk a standout in a town crowded with run of the mill singer-songwriters, complete with intelligent lyrics, difficult-yet-well-executed fretwork and more passion than a French revolution. i don’t know anything as yet about the other acts except for Counterfeit Clones, a duo that will be an Austin standout before long – just check them out to hear what i am on about (includes Jacquie of Communal Death Duck.

with the help of Navdo and EZ Action, i set up a show for these bands on Shdwply Records as they tour across the country. i think these bands are fantastic and you should definitely check them out. Teeth Mountain is an intelligent, hypnotic psychedelic band with four drummers/percussionists; in fact, everyone is a multi-instrumentalist. the Super Vacations are a top-notch band in the already crowded psych-garage scene while their sometimes member, Gary War, is the kind of one-man weirdness that makes the fringes of pop music so great (like Ariel Pink, R. Stevie Moore, the Wiggins, et al).
