MS MR released a legit interesting video about an hour ago. It’s Monday morning, so here are my reactions on watching it before and after getting high. BEFORE -0:30: Trying to find the skip ad button. Sigh. Ignore. Ignore. Volkswagen something. 0:00: Okay, HD. Mini-expand. 0:10: Slo-mo. Always with the effin slo-mo. I mean, I [...]

Shakey Graves
Here’s another blast from the past. Last summer we caught a set from Shakey Graves, and it was a wonderful experience. Even Austin’s mayor is a fan. (February 9th is officially Shakey Graves day.) Check out his performance (“Word of Mouth”) live at the Parish.
Chasca drops a “Cherry Bomb” Live in Austin, TX
This is a blast from the past. We caught the last half of Chasca’s set at The Fort ATX way back last summer. It was fabulous. I reached out to the band for a brief description, and they gave me this chestnut: Chasca is as Chasca does. We’ll leave it at that. Check out more [...]
New Music Video From OTHER LOVERS (Exclusive)
The young and effervescent pair known as OTHER LOVERS (Megan Fowler and Brandon Boyd) have released their first album Sweet Lovin’. And sweet it is. We first fell for OTHER LOVERS about six months ago when we caught their live show in Austin, TX. So charming, so bittersweet, so jejune. Vesper Magazine had the distinct [...]
David Thomas Jones— “Our Lives”—Official Music Video Debut
David Thomas Jones | “Our Lives” David Thomas Jones is a force to be reckoned with. You’ll find his name in the credits of an impressive variety of local acts: Watch Out For Rockets, The Murdocks, Scan Hopper, Les RAV, and so on. But, Jones is far from spread thin. His latest project is a [...]

Winners of the Recording Conservancy of Austin’s 2011 Best Unsigned Artist Competition, Les RAV has been featured on countless local and international music channels: from KUT, KLRU-PBS, and Austin’s CultureMap to European radio.

Filth-Queen CHRISTEENE Tells Vesper Why Her P*ssy is Crying (VIDEO) (NSFW!)
CHRISTEENE—“a sexually infused sewer of live rap and vile shamelessness”—is a character created by Austin-based performance artist Paul Soileau. Hailed as the “filthy future” of drag, CHRISTEENE’s unique charm—if it can be called that—is her unequivocal departure from the airbrushed glamor of RuPaul and Lady Chablis. She is decidedly an ANTI-queen who prefers jock straps [...]
New Pop Act ‘Gospel Music’ Isn’t Exactly Religious (Video)
In late 2010, Owen Holmes (bassist of indie darlings Black Kids) branched out on a solo project called Gospel Music. Holmes’ new act—of course—has nothing to do with its eponymous genre. Instead, the new LP How to Get to Heaven from Jacksonville, FL covers the more or less typical mix of alcohol, ennui and noncommittal [...]
INDIE: Bobby Jealousy (Episode 2, Pt. 1)
Bobby Jealousy is a self-described “throwback,” “dirt pop,” “melodic,” “soul-inspired,” and (charmingly) “death-obsessed” band from Austin, TX. The members are somewhat seasoned players—one is particularly accomplished as a solo artist—and each is undeniably gifted. The ethos seems to be: work hard, master the melodies in studio, then get drunk and play the imperfect f*ck out [...]
