extremely active scenes in punk, indie/emo/shoegaze etc, noise/experimental electronic, djs dealing in niche styles, electroacoustic/free improv/"new music." very good metal draw to smaller rooms than the rest of the tour, tho lacking in local acts rn. cromags are playing a church basement in march. there are at least 3 world class jazz ensembles playing somewhere random with no cover every single night.

That sounds sick. I’m so tired of Austin. I’ve been totally priced out and live in the suburbs now, so it takes over an hour on the bus to even get to anything decent to do that’s not a strip mall bar.

Venues/bars that have shows to look into that would have locals (as well as touring acts) and I’m having punk/metal in mind: Mr. Roboto Project, Gooskis, Rock Room, Whisper Nest, Mr. Smalls Funhouse, Club Cafe, Black Forge, I am forgetting a bunch here.

Bigger venues for national touring acts: Stage AE, Mr. Smalls Theater (same location different room/vibe), Thunderbird, Roxian Theater, Spirit
