The Austinot Weekend Concert Picks: March 23-24, 2018

March 22, 2018 by Bill Tucker Leave a Comment

Austinot Weekend Concert Picks March 23

With my ears still ringing from SXSW, I’m more inspired than ever to highlight Austin’s local music scene. This week, we recommend a touching singer/songwriter, slick, laid-back soul, and a shoegaze showcase. Enjoy the weekend, the music, and–as always–listen local!

Friday, March 23

Uncle Lucius Farewell Show w/Lew Card

@ Gruene Hall (1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, TX) – 8 p.m. – Tickets

With heartfelt country/rock sung from the realms of a life lived deeply, Uncle Lucius is a band of depth and passion. The 2013 hit “Keep the Wolves Away” is a touching three-act tale about survival, strife, and making do, while “Pocket Full of Misery” bops and boogies its way through a sad story of drunken mistakes.

Though vocalist Kevin Galloway left the band in 2017, he will take the stage at Gruene Hall for this farewell show. There will even be a meet-and-greet at Gruene Hall at 5:30 p.m. No ticket required for the meet-and-greet.

Rock the Park w/Black Pumas, The Telephone Company

@ Mueller Lake Park Outdoor Amphitheater (4550 Mueller Blvd.) – 7:45 p.m. – Facebook event

The latest project from Austin journeyman Adrian Quesada, Black Pumas drips with ’70s soul and a sense of modern urgency. A veteran of Brownout and well-known producer (Third Root, Grupo Fantasma), Quesada’s slick, groove-laden arrangements blend beautifully with singer Eric Burton’s smooth tenor. A band to keep an eye on as the music continues to grow. Also playing during KUTX’s Rock the Park event is kiddie group The Telephone Company.

DreamGaze ATX w/Ringo Deathstarr, Blushing, Soda Lillies, Processions, more

@ Cheer Up Charlies (900 Red River St.) – 8 p.m. – $5

Two bands I’m bummed I missed during SXSW are making appearances this weekend at Cheer Up Charlies. Ringo Deathstarr’s brand of crinkle-cut guitar fuzz and dreamy vocals screams classic shoegaze, while Blushing dips to the softer, more sensitive side of the genre. Combine the two on one stage, and you have a shoegaze showcase worth chilling out to. Also on the bill: lo-fi grunge-gaze band Soda Lillies and San Antonio-based dreamscape act Processions.
