It's the 30th anniversary of the band's debut, "Diary." They are a jaw-droppingly excellent live band from way back and Jeremy Enigk's voice is on some other planet. Yes you are right, some early Foo Fighters are in this video (Dave basically recruited them to Foos).
STRFKR DJ set would be amazing too -- full list of showcase artists here.
Back in my rock critic days, SX was THE place for new music discovery. IDK if that's still true or if it's too corporate now but here's a diary entry I wrote for Magnet Mag (ha).
If you are a BBQ fan you are going to eat your way through Austin. My favorite part of the whole experience outside of meeting random musicians throughout the week (my weird beer garden conversation with Perry Farrell comes to mind; also, Stubb's used to own a house with no address across the street from the venue that served as a Green Room/safe house for bands who are on their main stage; I wrote about that for Magnet too).

Check out this power pop, indie, psych rock bill featuring my main project, Hollow Sidewalks. Alive and kicking for over a decade. This band won’t die.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
