Do512 - What to do in Austin

Sixteen Deluxe are a psychedelic noise-­pop band from Austin, best known for their energetic, deafening live performances and lysergic studio creations. Formed in April 1994, they quickly began playing live shows in June of that same year, quickly generating a heap of buzz and filling local clubs with a kinetic mix of sonic assault, pop melodies, smoke, lights, and film projections. Wwithin a year the group was hailed as the loudest and most exciting on the Austin scene. Butthole Surfer King Coffey's Trance Syndicate label took notice, and sent the band into the studio in August of 1994 to record their debut 7", which was lauded by SPIN Magazine as one of the Top 10 Singles of 1995. Their first LP, Backfeedmagnetbabe, was met with near-­hysterical critical praise, garnering the band a stack of favorable notices in SPIN, CMJ, and Melody Maker, and widespread college radio airplay. After the video for "Idea" hit rotation on MTV's 120 Minutes, attention reached critical mass. After a decade apart, Sixteen Deluxe are reforming to play a series of gigs in 2010, and bringing their songs and stage show right back to the same Red River block where they started. 

"On its major-label debut, artful Austin quartet Sixteen Deluxe offers a witty pastiche of clean-cut '80s pop layered with up-to-the-second guitar-and-electronica distortion. Blistering power chords and beguilingly off-kilter vocal harmonies from Carrie Clark and Chris Smith make ''No Shock (in Bubble)'' the most rousing cut, but there's enough dark noise roughing up the disc's dozen pretty melodies to keep the sweetness in check." - Entertainment Weekly
