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]

MONDAY TRANSMISSIONS (#1)

This is your first weekly installment of MONDAY TRANSMISSIONS, a regular column providing the Transmission community with useful information & opinion on upcoming shows of interest taking place throughout the Austin underground.

I’m starting to fall in love with Metal Mondays on ME.  Last week I saw videos from locals Pack of Wolves and Set Aflame followed by Pig Destroyer, High on Fire and Red 7 veterans Goatwhore (yep, I said Goatwhore).  Seriously – why go out on a Monday when at home I’ve got beer and metal on ME?  Why ever leave the house when such entertainment – I mean, come on, we’re talking Goatwhore here, people – is at my fingertips?  I can always just call the grocery store to have my groceries delivered.

Just kidding.  Really.  Go out and support your downtown Austin economy.  Get out of the house.  Disengage from the television.  Save yourself.

This Wednesday @ Red 7:  GUTTERMOUTH

Video for "She's Got the Look" by Guttermouth, off their 2001 LP Covered With Ants (Epitaph). Directed by Charles Jensen.

Guttermouth are punk fucking rock. Srsly. The Guttermouth’s Myspace claims that the band has “respectively survived a myriad of the most heinous of messed up ailments that biology can inflict upon one group of Punk Rock Miscreants,” including but not limited to “a drunk driving incident where a telephone pole fell upon a member and crushed his spleen, lungs, chest, and broke both femurs (Mark); a bout with Necrotizing fasciitis (fleash eating Streptococcus) which almost claimed a member's lower leg and life (Mark and Kevin); Cytopenia, a condition where blood flow to the lower extremities is constricted to the point of Paresthesia (Scott) and Alcoholism, a condition where too many Newcastle Brown Ales cause you to hit on ugly fat girls and listen to The Cult on your iPod at 4:30 in the morning while your roommate is trying to sleep (Kevin).”

Tonight at Red 7:  Murphy’s Law

Without the influence of Murphy’s Law, hardcore - particularly New York-style hardcore - would be a different beast today. Alongside more agro peers Agnostic Front and Madball, Law was (and still is, apparently) a group of hard partying punks. At the height of the straight-edge movement, Murphy’s Law sang about beer, bongs, beer-bongs, and BBQ (as on “Crucial BarBQ,” which contains the brilliant line “Hare Krishnas stay away!”)

Vocalist Jimmy G(estapo) remains the only founding member of Murphy’s Law; a visit to Wikipedia reveals upwards of 25 past and present Lawyers, including future and former members of Hanoi Rocks, Cro-Mags, Dog Eat Dog, Bouncing Souls, Danzig, and New York Dolls. So who the fuck knows who’ll be onstage with Jimmy G come Thursday. But does it really matter? Expect a party, and a party Jimmy G will deliver.

Joining Murphy’s Law will be fellow beermeisters Brewtality Inc., Condemned Unit, Reagan Era, and Laughin Dogs – four bands that all play a mix of thrash, hardcore and punk in the late 80s vein of Murphy’s Law and friends.

Murphy’s Law play Red 7 tonight.  Doors are at 8:00.  More info here.

Watch: Austin’s own Raw Time interviewing Jimmy G here.
Watch: Murphy’s Law video for “What Will The Neighbors Think?”

Tonight at Red 7:  Burning Brides

It must have been last October sometime when a reunited Helmet made a stop at Austin’s Red 7. To say Page Hamilton and Co. blew me away would be an understatement. To say supporting act Burning Brides was every bit as impressive would be a stretch but, for the most part, still accurate.

The band’s sound is somewhere between the hazy grooves of Queens of the Stone Age, feedback-laden, Mastodon-esque metal, and Foo Fighters at their most agro – a sonic diversity that has offered the band the opportunity to support bands ranging from The White Stripes, A Perfect Circle, and My Morning Jacket on recent tours.
 
The Brides - consisting of Dimitri Coats (vocals/guitars), wife Melanie Coats (bass), and Pete Beeman (drums) - are currently touring in support of their self-released fourth album, Anhedonia (buy it here) (the band was at one point signed to Richard Branson’s Virgin Records follow-up, V2 Records, putting out two albums before the label, essentially, folded in 2007). Visit the band’s Myspace profile to check out 6 songs from Anhedonia (that’s like, half the album). The record was recorded live, allowing for a no frills, no bullshit sound.
 
One last note: Burning Brides tour in a biodiesel-fueled van. Having once been the proud owner of a waste-vegetable oil-powered van, I can attest to the hard work that goes into making this possible. Kudos Brides, kudos.

July 4th at Austin’s Red 7:  Set Your Goals

The really great thing about the Van’s Warped Tour skipping over Austin en route to larger markets like San Antonio and Houston is the prospect of the “off-date” – when festival acts band together to play a non-festival show in another town, rather than spend their day off doing nothing.  Because really – when you’re on tour, nothing sucks more than a day off.

Tomorrow, July 4th, Red 7 plays host to Warped Tour road warriors Set Your Goals, along with locals Krum Bums, Bad Motivators and ex-Riddlin' Kids Say Hello to Angels. Coincidentally, Hellcat Records’ Time Again and The Casualties will be in town as well, making for an all around great punk rock show.

While punk clichés The Casualties and Time Again are likely the biggest draw on this bill, I simply can’t get into bands like these. The spikes, the ‘hawks, the ‘tude… seems like a punk rock boy band to me. Uniforms are for soldiers, guys. So who am I excited to see? Set Your fucking Goals, of course.  Described as “New Found Glory after 8 cans of Red Bull” by Alternative Press, Set Your Goals write sing-a-long pop-punk songs full of youthful optimism and hardcore idealism – anthems of hope, with lyrics every kid who’s ever dreamed of being in a band and touring the world can relate to. 

Doors are at 7pm, with free food “while supplies last.” Free food?  I’m so there.

Listen: Set Your Goals’ cover of The Police’s “Message in a Bottle”
Watch: Set Your Goals’ video for “Mutiny," off their Eulogy Records album of the same name.

Deadbird @ Red 7 (Austin, TX), July 3.

Starting today, we'll be regularly posting the musings and commentary of a handful of music writers from the Transmission community at large.  These contributors are die-hard music fans with something to say, and we want their voices to be heard.  They've got skills.  Respect.

Transmit Socially,

TRANSMISSION ENTERTAINMENT 

Arkansas’ Deadbird have a PhD in Sabbathology.  Thursday, the four-piece will be at Red 7 in support of their At a Loss Records debut Twilight Ritual.  With metal wunderkind Billy Anderson (Eyehategod, Melvins, Brutal Truth, and so much more) manning the knobs, Twilight Ritual brings to mind modern marvels like Mastadon and locals The Sword, as well as old favorites like Neurosis, Maiden and the aforementioned Sabbath, bloody Sabbath.  Be prepared to bang your head at a slow and steady pace to the band’s sludgy metal riffage and resin-ated grooves.  Fellow Anderson-alum (and one of Austin’s most underrated metal acts) Lions of Tsavo support, along with Faithealer, Mala Suerte.

Visit Deadbird online and check out “Death of the Self” for a glimpse of what’s in store Thursday, July 3 at Red 7.

Show starts @ 9pm.
