Monday nights aren’t usually highly-anticipated in the Austin music scene, unless a touring band is making a stop in town. Last Monday, the 27th, The Parish hosted a stop on Stellastarr’s album release tour. The New York quartet just released their third album, Civilized, the first release in over 3 years. Expectations were high for this show and Stellastarr didn’t disappoint. The same can’t be said for the opening acts, but overall it was a very good Monday night in Austin.
Pictures and full report below the break.

So I’ve been working with Club Mixx (now being referred to as “Mixx“) for a few weeks now to help them transition from being a nightclub to becoming a mid to top-tier music venue. I’ve been surprised with the progress made, but there are a lot of changes still to come and a lot of potential yet to be realized. For those of you who might enjoy a peek behind the scenes, here’s an update.

 I was disappointed I couldn’t make it to the Most Interesting Academy yesterday…until I heard about it.
The event was at Falkenstein Castle and featured free food, music, food, and entertainment. 1793 people RSVP’d on Do512 but apparently only about 800 got in. That leaves 1000 people that were on an RSVP list without access. To add to the fact that they didn’t get in, they had to wait in line in 105 degree weather with no information coming from the organizers.
Just read the comments on the event listing on Do512 (scroll down the page).
Are events that hard to organize? Really? This was put on by a major company, this wasn’t the Rock for Independence Fest or Thunder of the Gods which were put on by clueless promoters. Get your shit together, learn what RSVP means, don’t make people park in a dung-covered cow pasture

I am helping Club Mixx transition from being a dance club to a live music venue. It’s on 6th and Red River and they are currently booking Friday and Saturday night shows (openings start July 31).
The venue holds about 400 people, so, like every venue, we need bands that can draw a good crowd. Gigs will be paying and CM is working on advertising deals with the Chronicle and 101x.
You can email me at tyler@twogroove.com if you are interested. Please include an average amount of people you bring out and a list of dates you are available to play.
