<div>The Parish room is one of the key stops for any visitor to Austin. Housing arguably the best indoor sound in all of Texas, The Parish has attracted some of the best acts in the independent music scene, as well as rock legends. Most recently, The Parish was the infamous SXSW venue that hosted the a la carte jam including Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Pete Townshend (Who), Les Claypool (Primus) and Slash (Guns n Roses). For future shows and festival events, check out the Parish calendar.</div>

<div>The Parish room is also a key spot for all your special event needs. Whether it’s a private business party, a product launch, birthday, wedding, or anything else you can imagine, The Parish room is the top spot in Austin for anything that you need. Custom menus, AV set ups and meeting facilities are just a small percentage of what we can make available for anyone looking for a venue in the heart of downtown Austin. Just minutes from the Austin Convention Center, and situated next to the famous Driskill Hotel, The Parish caters to locals and Austin visitors alike.</div>

<a href="http://www.austinsound.net/?q=ShearwaterInt5-27-08">Austin Sound Interview</a>Winged Life: Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater is a noted expert on the Striated Caracara, a rare bird of prey native to the Falkland Islands (see "Transcendentalism," May 12, 2006). Last year, the local songwriter, who also holds a doctorate in ornithology, joined scientists surveying the bird in its natural habitat, following up a study he helped conduct a decade ago. "It was interesting to see how these places had changed," says Meiburg, who officially parted ways with Okkervil River last week. "It was like getting to go back in time and understand it in a different context. It was magical." Whereas 2006's Palo Santo culled the femme fatale spirit of Nico for inspiration, Shearwater's exquisite Matador Records debut, Rook, explores Meiburg's studies through ornate flights of fancy. "When you're out there, it feels like you're getting this glimpse into the old world that's passing away," Meiburg explains. "There's an aesthetic loss too, an entire realm of beauty and meaning that most people didn't know was there to begin with. The record is partly an attempt to deal with that, to rail against it, and make peace with it." Backed by a string quartet, woodwinds, trumpets, and a harpist, Shearwater unveils Rook – due out June 3 – in its entirety at the Parish on Thursday.
