After a four-year break that involved building their own recording studio and setting up their own label, the Nebraska-based "jagged dance music" band The Faint returns to Austin while on tour in support of their newest album "Fasciinatiion." Allmusic called it "just as ambitious as its predecessor, spinning cautionary tales about science, surveillance, and pop culture sleaze and setting them to kinetic, self-consciously synthetic backdrops." opening the show at La Zona Rosa will be Jaguar Love, an art punk band from Portland comprised of former members of The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves.

Bright Eyes is the biggest band that still has connections to Omaha (311 left for L.A. before it got famous), but several years ago it felt like The Faint was giving Conor Oberst a serious run for his money. That was around the time The Faint issued 2001’s Danse Macabre, which took the band’s stylistic turn on the electro-shocked Blank-Wave Arcade and perfected it in dance-rock classics like “Agenda Suicide” and “Glass Danse.” But then 2004’s Wet From Birth left something to be desired, and the nearly four-year album break since hasn’t helped build momentum. The band’s new self-released Fasciinatiion isn’t exactly a return to form, but if past performance can be used to predict future success, the new songs are going to sound great live. Opening: Jaguar Love, Shy Child.
