We are now up to Sunday at 6:30. The choices are Fleet Foxes, Manu Chao, Gomez, and We Are Augustines. I may post something from the other bands but figured I'd start with the new band. They are playing the BMI stage which is typically for local Austin acts or small unknown bands. It's not typically for the buzz bands. The buzz bands usually get the early slots. So this is unusual.
We Are Augustines just came out with their first album. They are compared to Bruce Springsteen with a little Arcade Fire. I hear some Hold Steady. Very earnest and cathartic, the album was recorded after some major tragedies in the lead singer's life. Like "Funeral", it's getting great reviews and helped the band land a prime-time slot on Sunday at ACL before Arcade Fire. I'm not a big Hold Steady fan so this music isn't right up my alley but I figure if this is going to be the future headliner it may be worth seeing them on a small stage.
