Breakout and Glue

If there is one city that is doing anything near the level of what is happening in Atlanta right now, that city would be Austin. There is something real happening out there. Music is being created from a place of alienation: dis-associative noise created by people that get shit. With bands like Institute, Glue, Impalers, and of course Breakout. How could you not be slightly interested in what is happening down in Bat City?

I lived in Austin for about 7 months in 2012. I really blame myself for the disdain that I created surrounding the city. I worked a job that was too far out and not really for me. I was a real stick-in-the -ass sorta guy back then and couldn't wrap my head around the idea or concept that I was more than that. It ruined any experience that I could have or actually had there. Now, I'm kicking myself in the butt-hole for it. The people and bands out there have created something that is better than most music happening in any other city, except for Atlanta.

Basically, don't be a sucker. Do drugs, get out of bed, request off work, quit your job, do whatever it is you have to do but don't miss out on the cool shit that is happening down the block.

These are the bands from Austin that are playing here over the next couple of weeks. They are playing with bands from this town that are doing the same truly amazing things that I ignored out there.

Breakout
This is from their Local Live performance and their record that came out this year. 
 





Glue
Glue played here last year right after I first moved to town. It was at this house off of South Moreland. I still think it was the best show I have seen since I moved to town. This is the 7" they put out this year and a video of this wild ass show it Boston. It rules.









Also, if you wanna hear it everytime your mom calls. Here is a ringtone I made.
