AA-S Best Bet – Ladytron:
If you like females and robots — specifically, female robots — then you probably love the English electro-pop quartet Ladytron. Formed in 1999 with principal members Reuben Wu, Daniel Hunt, Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo, Ladytron soon rose to popularity with the release of the band’s first album, “604,” in 2001. Two records and seven years later, the four-piece has rolled out “Velocifero,” which they support tonight at Stubb’s.

XL Recommended – The Kills Alison Mosshart and British guitarist Jamie Hince deliver oddball, bluesy synth-rock full of cranky drum machines and bad mojo.

AA-S Best Bet – Clinic:
If you’re not current on your indie rock vaccinations, then you should probably consult the Liverpool-based four-piece Clinic for a stout shot of hypnotic rhythms and melodies. For more than 10 years Clinic has been shape-shifting, evolving and slowly honing their trademark shoegaze drone-pop, which shines evident on the group’s fifth and latest LP, “Do It!”
Clinic’s influences take flight on “Do It!” with pepperings of Phil Spector-esque girl-pop, Morricone film scores and even punk rock — lending all the necessary immunities for you to attend tonight’s show and stave off a bad time.

Though the Springfield, Mo., quartet has begun to outgrow its quirky name, SSLYBY capitalized on dubious nostalgia for the former Russian leader and sunk smooth pop hooks into Polyvinyl for sophomore effort Pershing. Oakland quintet Port O’Brien rides a nautical wave of folk-pop on upcoming official debut LP All We Could Do Was Sing. Locals Loxsly shine Flashlights.

Still riding the buzz of 2006 debut The Loon, Minneapolis quartet Tapes ’n Tapes ups the ante with latest Walk It Off (XL), reeling in rambunctious indie rock with help from Mercury Rev’s Dave Fridmann. Local trio White Denim, hot off a European tour, returns with its freewheelin’ blend of neo-psychedelia and soulful garage pop. Grab a copy of the trio’s Fall Tour ’08 LP. – Austin Powell

Dan Snaith’s Caribou transformed from Amon Tobin-esque electronica to flower-child pop with last year’s gorgeous Andorra (Merge), a shimmering collection of mild psychedelic AM tunes. On the other side of the sonic spectrum, UK noise duo Fuck Buttons was all the rage at South by Southwest 08, culling primal trances from debut Street Horrrsing (ATP), cut with VU’s deathly repetition and Black Dice’s absurdity. – Austin Powell more at austinchronicle.com

The Decemberists’ front man and songwriter, Colin Meloy, credits his uncle with turning him on to college radio bands like the Replacements, Camper Van Beethoven and R.E.M. in sixth grade while his peers were jamming to Poison and Guns ‘N Roses. His introduction to those offbeat acts clearly influenced his songwriting for the pop-indie Portland band, whose sound has often been compared to Neutral Milk Hotel. As part of the release of his solo album, “Colin Meloy Sings Live!,” which includes castoffs from the Decemberists’ albums as well as Smiths covers, Meloy is embarking on an acoustic solo tour with singer/songwriter Laura Gibson.more at austin360.com

Priming the pump for a week’s worth of debauchery, Beauty Bar gets the buzz started for early SXSW arrivals with a crash course on some of the best bands Austin has to offer. On the outside stage, Belaire lets the sun shine in with infectious indie-tronica and huggable harmonies from last year’s Exploding, Impacting along with desert-folk troubadours Brothers And Sisters and funky art-school aces The Black And White Years. Inside, garage wunderkinds The Strange Boys headline a retro revival that includes souped-up rawk from Those Peabodys and swaggering Southern steez from Scorpion Child. Around 1 a.m., DJs from Austin, London, and Glasgow (and special guests like Yo Majesty’s Shunda K.) kick off a late-night dance party that will ensure you never make it to any of those Wednesday panels. They sounded boring anyway. Also playing: Golden Bear, AM Syndicate, {{{Sunset}}}, Murdocks, Sleeping In The Aviary, Future Clouds And Radar.

Ghostland Observatory has grown big in Austin and beyond with a sound that tips toward the electro-rock likes of The Rapture and VHS Or Beta—more so the latter, thanks to a penchant for vocoder effects that skew as suspect as often as they prove stirring. The duo spent most of 2007 breaking out behind the flashy grooves of Paparazzi Lightning, an album made for nightclub hedonism that naturally felt flaccid in the harsh light of day. Not taking any chances, the new Robotique Majestique amps up the hair-band posturing even further—the mix of Euro-metal yowls and oppressively cheesy ’80s synths evokes Billy Squier as remixed by The Crystal Method—which won’t win back cynics who have already dismissed the group. It should, however, make a huge splash amongst those who value style over substance—i.e., the majority of the music-buying public. Opening: Dr. Jack.

Summer 2001, Coney Island. I’m standing front and center, sweating profusely under the oppressive July sun as Les Savy Fav commands the stage. Singer Tim Harrington is wearing flimsy, red jogging shorts, then he’s wearing only a small white towel. He runs off stage in the towel, through the crowd, right toward the Cyclone, and gets in line. The other band members look at one another and end the song.more at austinchronicle.com
The Walkmen / Zykos / horse + donkey (outside) FREE!
Sat. 12/15 | 10:00PM @ Emo's (Downtown)
20 People Like this Event. I Like It share
Managing to be polarizing without doing anything in the least bit outlandish, The Walkmen pump out waves of big, hooky rock that hews toward The Strokes and Interpol while showing more heart than both those bands. Their songs are straightforward art rock at their core, but organ wash and spacious guitar effects keep that core nice and murky. The Walkmen’s last recording was Pussy Cats, a remake of the cover-heavy album that Harry Nilsson made with John Lennon and lots of drinks in the ‘70s, but there’s talk of new material to be tested here. Austin’s Horse Plus Donkey opens this free show with its reverb-laden post-punk shudders, followed by the jangled nerves and blood-on-the-highway ballads of Zykos.

More angular than fellow Chicagoans Pelican but less transcendent than Explosions in the Sky, the instrumental onslaught of Russian Circles spins like a whirlpool.read more at AustinChronicle.com
L.A.’s Fuck Yeah Fest has gone mobile, and who better to headline than unnaturally peppy Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim? The drum and synth combo’s 2007 single “Yea Yeah” is still the perfect summer tour anthem, while equally spastic Baltimore punks the Death Set unload dance-floor samples into the mosh pit. Brooklyn’s Team Robespierre and L.A.’s Brother Reade open, with spoken word from Keith Morris, comedy from Nick Flanagan, and much more.
