So Much Friday Action

Well y'all, in typical Austin-fashion, there are several great happenings tomorrow evening both locally-focused and touring. DJ Spooky is in town, playing Aces Lounge courtesy of our friends over at Knuckle Rumbler. Somehow, tickets to this event are still available, but Aces isn't the biggest venue so I'd get on that, also you have less than 8 hours to purchase them for the advance price of roughly $15.

A few blocks away Austin's-own What Made Milwaukee Famous will be taking the stage at Antone's with the White White Lights sharing the bill as well. You can grab tickets for that show for a mere $10. Doors are at 9:30 for the Antone's show and Frank Smith will be kicking things off at 10:00p.

Away from the downtown scene my friends at KVRX are presenting their Holiday Show at the United States Arts Authority. Proceeds for this show benefit the Austin Yellow Bike Project so even if you're not interested in staying for the whole event it would still be cool to pop in just to help out the Yellow Bike folks, just sayin. The line-up for the Holiday Show features some great up-and-coming local and local-ish acts that deserve your attention. This line-up is not set in stone but I have it on pretty good authority if you are planning to attend a few shows tomorrow night that these are the set-times as of now:

• 8:15 Western Ghost House


• 9:00 Milk Thistle


• 9:45 Mermaid Blonde


• 10:30 Bitter Birds


• 11:05 Mother Falcon


• 12:15AM Monarchs


• 1:AM Brackett & Co.

Warehouse Party, Eastside, Tonight

Initial part of the post

That's right you can party at an east-warehouse till 3am tonight for $15 tonight, courtesy of Do512 and Vinyl Entertainment. What Made Milwaukee Famous will be headlining, along with The Story Of. You will also hear sets from some of Austin's finer DJ's including a set by Austin's own Octopus Project.

Speaking of the Octopus Project they are doing a "Visual Music" show at the Alamo Drafthouse this week, which should be a pretty cool show. I suspect if you're interested in that you better get your tickets like yesterday.

I'm pretty sure I posted this video like a year ago...actually I wasn't writing this a year ago, but in any case here's a video courtesy of Barsuk Records from What Made Milwaukee Famous:
