The first day of March drops us right into the weekend, and this weekend intends to keep us busy. Get your pencils ready, because we have some recommendations for you:
Friday
Tonight at the 5 Spot, Photo Ops will play the album release show for his gorgeous debut, How To Say Goodbye. The album is Terry Price’s solo project, following his time with Oblio, and it expertly navigates melody and hardship through 10 tracks of the rare sort of bedroom pop that maintains a cinematic beauty and skips the derivative synth-soaked buzz pop that keeps ending up in car commercials. Neil O’Neil and Milktooth open the show and the party starts at 9 pm.
Saturday
On Saturday we’ll see you at the Mercy Lounge/High Watt for the Official SXSW Send Off Party. Your first round of beer is on the kind folks over at Third Shift Amber Lager, the show is free, and it was just announced that the first 100 people through the door will receive a token that can be redeemed for a Third Shift swag bag. The decision is clear, but here is the lineup:
The fun starts at 8 pm. Come say hi if you see us around!
Sunday
If you’ve recovered from Saturday and are ready to go another round, head down to 3rd and Lindsley to catch The Delta Saints before they head for Europe. Quiet Corral will open, and music starts at 8 pm. –Brianne Turner
