Recent Austin transplants The Story Of turned some heads in 2005 with the Foothill Highway Appalachian Road, a spacey blend of Postal Service-like electronics and art-rock quirkiness, but for the group’s new full-length The World’s Affair, the band apparently took its cues from Out Of The Blue-era ELO and aimed for the rafters rather than the coffeehouse. The passionate Affair adds bouncy piano, brass licks, and even a children’s choir to its scattershot bursts of joyous pop, while the lyrics tackle downer political issues with refreshing “Up With People” optimism. For its CD release show, the five-piece will feature members of The Noise Revival Orchestra and even a small choir on some songs, making this a can’t-miss show for lovers of unabashed pomp (with a little bit of circumstance). Opening: Jumbling Towers, AUX.

Charlie Louvin

Charlie Louvin, half of the Louvin Brothers of Satan Is Real fame, is a country-gospel legend whose status might be described as “born again” in the wake of a recent album that pairs him with partners young and old, grizzled and hip. The self-titled record features duets between Louvin and George Jones, Will Oldham, Elvis Costello, and Eef Barzelay, among others. It works, in part, because all involved sound like they’re actually there together, working through songs, rather than phoning in different takes in different studios from afar. Louvin plays this rare free in-store as a precursor to his gig at the Big State Festival in College Station, completely negating the need to make that trip.

Charlie and Ira Louvin defined the high/lonesome bluegrass harmonies of the Fifties before Ira’s alcoholism and subsequent death forced Charlie to follow “The Christian Life” alone. Last spring’s self-titled LP, the younger Louvin’s first in 10 years, returned Charlie to Louvin classics, his voice haunted by Ira’s absence but patriarchal alongside guests like Jeff Tweedy and Will Oldham.read more at AustinChronicle.com
