Red Sparowes | My Education | Hogpig (Hailey's)
It seems like Austin's My Education plays with every band at every show, every five minutes. Seriously. Though their sonically ornate instrumentals sound pretty mild on their page, they are apparently loud and intense live. They're playing on the Texas dates of Red Sparowes' tour which would be a good opportunity for most bands. Red Sparowes have recorded for the acclaimed Neurot label and have recently added members whose past projects include VSS and Angel Hair. So, no shortage of credibility in this project. Their dramatic music recalls their brand new labelmates Savage Republic in their quieter moments and even SR offshoot, Scenic. Hogpig's comedic hard rock will definitely stand out in this crowd.

I'm sorry my friends, but Hogpig will rock the fucking house. It's a clinically proven fact.

i saw scenic (if it's the same one) in FW college days (96 or 97 maybe) at some pool bar. i got hit in the head w/a pool cue while enjoying the show. yes i'd like a cookie.

I agree, Red Sparowes does have a bit of SR (Savage Republic, not StonedRanger) and Scenic in 'em.

Unfortunately to me not so much on the new and to me pretty boring post-rocky new album. I really likes the first album though, At the Soundless Dawn. I think because it's more minimal, there is more dynamic variance and an unusual element for this kind of music (pedal steel) that unfortunately went away.

And yes, My Education is close to a force of nature live.
