From The Mind Of Adi #87: What Next?

Adi-Fest 2 ½ this Friday at Beauty Bar!

Join me this Friday at Beauty Bar for Adi-Fest 2 ½. I have teamed up with local entity Knuckle Rumbler for this shindig. The wonderful folks at KR actually put on the first Adi Fest two years; last year’s Adi-Fest II ended up being quite a memorable birthday party, complete with kebabs at 1 a.m. and a lost tooth at 1:45 a.m. Austin’s beloved Queen cover band Magnifico, ZZ Top tribute act Cheap Sunglasses and Jimi Hendrix devotees the Stonefree Experience Band will all perform at the 2 ½ edition this Friday. Alison Narro will be there to capture all the shenanigans -- fútbol and tennis shirts are encouraged. Birds Barbershop has also partnered with us on this event so come early for some complimentary beverages, and don’t forget to RSVP on Do512 for $5 entry.

From The Mind Of Adi #79: JG Wilkes’ Firsts

 

Firsts: Sh*te that happened before other sh*te happened. 

Today: JG Wilkes’ Firsts! This time, we examine what inspired Jonnie Wilkes (a.k.a. JG Wilkes), one half of the Scottish duo that goes by the moniker Optimo Espacio. Optimo Espacio is actually a club night, started by Wilkes and Keith McIvor (a.k.a. DJ Twitch) in 1997 at The Sub Club in Glasgow, Scotland. The two have built quite a reputation for the event, hosting many relevant touring acts such as LCD Soundsystem and Franz Ferdinand while also nurturing a vibrant local scene. Unsurprisingly, Wilkes and McIvor are the resident DJs at their shindigs but they do hit the road from time to time -- this Thursday, Learning Secrets is bringing Optimo Espacio to Austin -- RSVP here for $3 admission into the inevitable dance party at Beauty Bar.

• 1st favorite song: “My Aunt Jane” (Irish Traditional), sung by my mother. 
  
  
• 1st favorite musician or band: The Bay City Rollers (sadly the tartan bell-bottom trousers got banned at school).

MONDAY TRANSMISSIONS (#4)

Long weekend – no desire to write a cheesy opening paragraph.  On with the show, as they say. Here are your MONDAY TRANSMISSIONS for the week of August 25, 2008.

Monday:  The Mohawk recently started “Metal Mondays” – come hang and bang your head.  Or hit up Red 7 for some punky pop music with NorTexans Kid Liberty and A Bird A Sparrow. Chicago’s A Kidnap in Color round out this matinee lineup.  Bring your little sister, or underage girlfriend, if you’ve got one. [No advance tickets available]



Bummed about being back at school?  Drink away your sorrows students, drink ‘em all away, at Beauty Bar Monday. The “Back To School, Alright!” Party features two stages of music – definitely not the most dancey lineup you’ll see at Beauty Bar but fun nonetheless.  Inside you’ve got Peel, White White Lights and Sad Accordians, while the patio hosts Belaire, AM Syndicate, and Future Clouds and Radar.  Come early for free pizza and vodka from sponsors Hoboken Pie (best pizza downtown, definitely) and 42 Below.  [No advance tickets available]
