    <title>Do512 Presents! A Happy Hour at Music Cafe w/ Danny Malone, Alex Dupree and Legs Against Arms</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;We invite you all to come out and join us for a FREE show at Music Cafe on South Lamar. &lt;strong&gt;Danny Malone&lt;/strong&gt; has been raised on local Texas music. He&amp;rsquo;s taken his rockin&amp;rsquo; roots to an extreme with originally energetic melodies and very insightful lyrics. His sound has been described as indie/folk/alt country, but like most true contemporary artists, his sound defies categorization. In review of his first full-length studio effort, &amp;lsquo;Cuddlebug,&amp;rsquo; one critic remarked &quot;not since The Counting Crows released August and Everything After in 1994 has an album achieved a perfect balance between intelligence and accessibility.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for &lt;strong&gt;Legs Against Arms&lt;/strong&gt;, here's a review courtesy of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.austinsound.net/2008/07/01/oh-no-oh-my-corto-maltese-legs-against-arms-gulf-of-mexico-emos-lounge-june-27-08/&quot;&gt;Austin Sound&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Following was Legs Against Arms, a fairly new quartet to the Austin music scene. They exploded off the stage with enthusiasm and excitement. Bruce Ewing was a fireball bouncing off Daniel Dillon and visa versa, the dual front man combination making for a versatile and dynamic show. The differences in their vocals and instrumental contributions add a lot of depth to a unique sound, while the rhythm section keep up the momentum and their ability to switch instruments and still work cohesively gives them an edge.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$1.50 High Lifes and Buy One Get the Second 1/2 Off Pizzas all night!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RSVP to let us know you're coming!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

    <title>INsite Night: Bamboo Shoots w/ The Soldier Thread and Frantic Clam, presented by TwoGroove</title>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RSVP for $5 Entry! $8 otherwise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click &quot;I Like It!&quot; for a chance to win one of THREE pairs of FREE Tickets!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twogroove.com/blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TwoGroove&lt;/a&gt; is happy to present &lt;strong&gt;Bamboo Shoots&lt;/strong&gt; at Mixx. Signed to Epic Records and fresh off a tour in India, they'll be making an Austin stop at Mixx. With support from The Soldier Thread and Frantic Clam, this is sure to be a killer show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only will there be great music, Trevor Ray Thompson will be on hand, photobooth at the ready. And it's an INsite Night to boot!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;RSVP for $5 entry, $8 at the door&lt;br /&gt;All ages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doors open nice and early at 8pm.&lt;br /&gt;Frantic Clam - 9pm&lt;br /&gt;The Soldier Thread - 10pm&lt;br /&gt;Bamboo Shoots - 11pm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bamboo Shoots&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There's something odd about Bamboo Shoots. Certainly a band of four brown-skinned boys whose collective faces look equally at home on a terrorist watchlist as any promotional poster is, well, unique. That all of the members are of Indian descent at a time when Indian culture is exploding globally is surely... noteworthy. &quot;We gave up on fitting in a long time ago,&quot; states singer/guitarist Avir Mitra with a shrug. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mix innovative hooks and lean guitars with urban inspired beats and subtle world flavor, add a dash of Brooklyn cred but temper it with a lyrical openness - now you begin to get at the sound of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Armour&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, their Epic Records debut. It's future-feeling and it's retro and it almost didn't happen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Soldier Thread&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a fragility coating the sweeping songs of The Soldier Thread; it&amp;rsquo;s scrawled on every measure and delicately interwoven with each chilling harmony. It&amp;rsquo;s a sound that creeps into the room with a wispy ambiance, allowing for a tangible vulnerability. But suddenly, each calculated melody comes crashing together, and the dynamic shifts. The sound begins to swell with a vibrant chorus, and the fragility gives way into something more powerful, more meaningful. For The Soldier Thread, this comes as second nature. For the rest of us, it comes as breathtaking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Frantic Clam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Frantic Clam began half a world away in the winter of 2006 when guitarist, Zack Hadley and bassist, Joe Sparks were deployed to Iraq with the US Army. Upon returning to the United States in December of 2007, they began working on their first self-released EP titled &amp;ldquo;Celebrity.&amp;rdquo; In the spring of 2008, high school friends, drummer Vasanth Coorg and guitarist Jack Reid joined as the gorup began playing shows in and around Austin, Texas. Most recently, Gregg Irick and Scott Cater have joined the band as both Vasanth and Joe moved to new ports of call.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
