The Austinot Weekend Concert Picks: Nov. 30-Dec. 1, 2018

November 29, 2018 by Bill Tucker Leave a Comment

Austinot Weekend Concert Picks Nov 30

Happy weekend, ATX music lovers! By now, the Thanksgiving leftovers are gone (?), holiday shopping/procrastinating has begun, and the Instant Pot you snagged for 60 percent off during a Black Friday sale is resting comfortably on a shelf somewhere.

It’s time to renew our collective love of local music with these exceptional shows. So read on, enjoy the weekend, and listen local!

Friday, Nov. 30

Moving Panoramas SXSW 2018

@ Cheer Up Charlies (900 Red River) – 9 p.m. – Facebook event

Multi-part harmonies wrapped around a driving ’80s shoegaze center, Moving Panoramas continues to represent the best female-fronted indie that Austin has to offer. While well-worn classics like the infectious “One” and “Radar” never get old, the latest single “Baby Blues” continues the band’s trend of excellence.

By channeling the upbeat goth/rock vibe of The Cure, songwriter Leslie Sisson’s wistfully nostalgic look into past relationships shimmers with sumptuous vocal haze, post-punk guitars, and dreamy ambiance. A personal favorite worth seeing over and over again.

Also playing are dream pop band The Sour Notes, indie rock all-stars Shy Beast, mellow dream indie act March & Beauty, and Holly.

Saturday, Dec. 1

Kevin Russell Shinyribs SXSW 2018

@ Threadgill’s World Headquarters (301 W. Riverside Dr.) – 7:30 p.m. – Tickets

At the risk of sounding redundant or coming off as a superfan, if you want to personify Austin music to an outsider, look no further than Kevin Russell and Shinyribs. A gloriously upbeat blend of New Orleans zydeco, Southern swing, and ATX tomfoolery, this award-winning artist is a party waiting to happen.

Nobody in town is better suited to play Threadgill’s final show than this explosive force of musical positivity. Celebrate the history of a legendary Austin venue with a legendary Austin artist.

Protip: Arrive early to check the official “Last Rodeo” show with Fastball, Cotton Mather, Sarah Sharps, Jackie Venson, and others. The party requires a separate ticket and starts at noon.

@ Stubbs Inside (801 Red River) – 9 p.m. – Tickets

Austin rock with a unique balance of indie backbeats and soulful groove, Night Cap projects hard emotions and good times in equal measure. The inaugural EP “Petals” is a trim five-track exploration of relationships gone sour and self-discovery.

Complex hi hat rhythms punctuate tight guitar leads in the ever-expanding “We’ll Get By,” while “Heat” crunches along like a Kings of Leon single. A fun and impressive EP that’s sure to sound even more exciting on a big stage.

Also playing is psych rock act Mopac.
