This year’s ACL Festival was a banner one in many ways. After 10 years, marked by explosive growth and popularity, the 10th anniversary Fest needed to be memorable. I’ve been attending ACL for the past six years and some have been better than others. There have been times when I’ve sworn off attending ever again, [Continue]
Mylo Xyloto (Release date – October 24, 2011) Hi there readers! I can’t believe it’s been nine months since I’ve written a post. Graduate school ended back in May, and while I’ve been tossing around the idea of blogging again, the truth is that I just haven’t gotten around to it. This weekend though, I [Continue]
Awww, are you sad yet? I’m probably one of the last bloggers to get my reviews out there, plus tickets for ACL Fest 2011 are going to be on sale next week, so surely that means that this year’s fest will be a distant memory soon enough. ACL Fest 2010, we’ll remember you for your [Continue]
I’m totally sorry about the gap between ACL Fest reviews there. Shockingly, graduate school does NOT offer much flexibility, even when you have like, totally important music blogging to attend to! Jeez. Anyway, thanks for bearing with me and let the reviews of ACL Fest Day 2 begin! Overall, Saturday was a better festival day [Continue]
Wow, is anyone else still trying to catch up on sleep from the festival weekend? Months and months of anticipation and excitement culminate in three of the fastest days of the year, quickly followed by one of the longest weeks of all time. ACL Fest 2010 was no exception; there were ups (the addition of [Continue]
Yes, it’s ACL Fest weekend, but that doesn’t mean that there are no other music events happening in Austin. Of course not! In a city where every major music event becomes an excuse to have a thousand other shows, even if you don’t have a ticket to the festival, you don’t need to fret. Here [Continue]
If you missed it, we’re previewing this year’s ACL Fest. I’m giving my recommendations of bands to see for each day, and today, we’re looking at Saturday’s schedule. If you missed my picks for Friday of the fest, check it out here. Saturday is an entirely different beast, all full of conflicts and tough choices. [Continue]
Well, it’s about that time…the ACL Festival is right around the corner and now that the aftershow situation has been addressed, let the daily schedule planning commence! It’s getting cooler outside and I’m extra excited about the possibility of good weather this year (let’s cross our fingers that the Dillo Dirt has [Continue]
For the past several years, many of Austin’s most savvy concert goers have bypassed the ACL Festival entirely in favor of a different ACL weekend experience. C3, the organization behind the fest, puts on a series of aftershows where some of the buzziest bands playing the ACL festival perform separate shows in venues around the [Continue]
The Austin City Limits Music Festival grid was released earlier today, so it’s officially time to start (further) obsessively planning your schedule for the second weekend in October! If you missed my reaction on the bands in the lineup, check out that post here, but since then, the festival has also added The Black Lips, [Continue]
