Austin Moose Lodge # 1735
Catfish Hunters
9:00
Indie, Blues
Without sounding even the remotest bit Irish, providing piano tunes perfect for sloshing a mug of beer wildly side to side in the air. Reminds a listener of Tom Waits without sounding like Tom Waits either.

B.D. Rileys
Irish Tunes Session
8:00 / Free
Irish
Irish pub hosts a weekly set of Irish music. Guinness is not a requirement to attend, although it is highly recommended to those over 21.

Beerland
Australian Cattle Gods Records Nite w/ Deuce Coupe, Austin Home Grown, Flat Car Rattlers
Indie, Hard Rock
Don’t let the Down Under name fool you, ACGR is a local label, prone to signing indie and post-punk band just a step before they go big. So heed ACGR, and you be in the know.

Central Market North
Donna Hightower
12:30 / Free
Jazz
Vocalist of such supremacy, that within the industry tributes to Donna Hightower are no strange thing. Strangely, equal notoriety isn’t quite the norm to Johnny Public.

Central Market South
The Jitterbug Vipers
12:30 / Free
Swing, Jazz, Gypsy
Emily Gimble (Johnny Gimble’s granddaughter) on keys and vocals, Slim Richey on guitar. And away we go…

Continental Club
Heybale!
10:00 / $7
Country
Weekly romp through barrelhouse Texas honky tonk. This being the last Sunday of the month, Cindy Cashdollar (steel guitar), Erik Hokannen (fiddle, mandolin) and Elana James (fiddle) join the already sickingly star-studded lineup.

Emo’s (inside)
Carney
10:00 / $6
Classic Rock
Would’ve never thunk they have carnies in L.A. Lead singer Reeve Carney can sound an awful lot like ‘70s Robert Plant. He got some tour-smarts with Johnny Lang’s touring band before starting his own outfit.

Emo’s (outside)
Pennywise, Strung Out, Authority Zero
7:30 / $15
Hard Rock
Pennywise brings a more sunny-beach-style punk to Red River. You know, like Green Day is punk.

Flipnotics Coffeespace
Household Names
8:00
Indie, Power Pop

Typically the kind of power pop that makes one pop up and down on their feet. Household Names brings a quieter, probably acoustic, set to the tiny, intimate room at Flipnotics.

Ginny’s Little Longhorn
Chicken Shit Bingo w/ Dale Watson
4:00 / Free
Country
Roadhouse country dance whilst you watch a chicken defecate. Does anything say Texas better than that?

The Hideout Theatre
The Strip Cult
7:00 & 9:00 / $10
Rock Musical
Set in the ‘60s, a go-go dancer steals the heart of Charles Manson. Surf-rock and gospel music fit in there somehow.

Hole in the Wall
Bryce Clifford, Grub Dog & The Modestos, The Johns
9:00 / Free
Pop, Americana
Bryce Clifford brings the adventurous approach to pop as Elvis Costello does. The Johns are the perfect response to the legion of fans who wish Whiskeytown remained Whiskeytown and Ryan Adams skipped that whole solo career thing.

La Zona Rosa
Give Love Give Life Mother’s Day Benefit w/ Paula Nelson, John Trudell & Bad Dog, Folk Uke, Lechuza
3:00 / $25 (free for all moms)
A rocking good way to do some good. The show benefits ovarian cancer research and build support for women’s health. Paula Nelson (yes, Willie’s Daughter, alright already) leads an electrifying band of bluesy rock.

Lamberts
Ephraim Owens, Brannen Temple, Red Young
7:00 / Free
Jazz
Very happenin’ organ trio. Very, very happenin’.

Manuel’s
Cienfuegos
11:30 am
Latin, Cuban
Special Mother’s Day show to show your mama some Latin love. Wait. That sounded terribly, terribly wrong.

Mexican American Cultural Center
Big Squeeze Accordion Contest, Los Texmaniacs, Cerronato
1:30 / Free
Tex-Mex, Conjunto
Teenagers compete to be crowned accordion king with Austin band Cerronato backing the contestants. Afterwards, a special performance for Los Texmaniacs sweetens the already fun deal.

Mohawk
Ecstatic Sunshine, Cex, Many Birthdays
Experimental
Minimalist instrumentation with no boundaries.

Momo’s
Warren Hood & The Hoodlums, Marshall Ford Swing Band
8:00 / $5
Newgrass, Swing, Rock, Jam Band
Warren’s home base when not touring. The Hoodlums dabble in just about any American roots idiom. Marshall Ford Swing Band stay a bit more focused with anything that swings.

Nuevo León
Mariachi Relampago
4:00
Mariachi
Mariachi Lightning. The only Austin mariachi band to win Univision’s Premios a la Musica Latina award.

Nuno’s North
Blues Mafia
3:00
Blues, Rock
All-star alums of the Austin School of Music, Blues Mafia members soon will all be able to drink while they play. Funky Jaco Pastorius bass lines sneak into the bluesy rock set.

Nuno’s on Sixth
Rusty Trapps & The Blue Lites w/ Ray McCarty
8:00
Blues, Smooth Jazz, Funk
Nice keys add a soothing vibe to the blues and jazz hooks being laid down.

The Oasis
The Brew
6:00 /
Latin, Jazz, Flamenco
Watch the sunset dance the flamenco out on Lake Travis.

One 2 One Bar
Greg Williams
10:00
Jazz, Funk
Weekly gig hailed as Funky Jazz Sunday. Pretty straight forward, eh.

The Parlor
Rogue River String Band, Silly Goose Documents
9:00 / Free
Bluegrass, Appalachia
RRSB are refreshingly old-timey, with ample skill and soul and little desire to hide their love for Appalachian mountain music with elements of funk and spunk.

Red Eyed Fly
A Corpse Vanishes, Heather Go Psycho, A Bad Idea
9:00
Hard Rock, Punk
Innovative quasi-punk locals, A Corpse Vanishes, deliver an exciting live show. The singers have an uncanny knack to sound like famous punk and ska singers, but never the same one. Thrillcore, three-piece girl band from San Antonio, Heather Go Psycho, are more straight ahead in their fuzz attack.

Red Fez
DJ Kurupt
10:00
Hip Hop, Turntables
Sunday night hip hop/dancehall/funk night running for more than six years.

Roadhouse Rags
3 Balls of Fire, Nematoads, Los Super Avengers, Aftermath
4:00
Surf, Twangabilly
3 Balls opts for fingertips, rather than lighter fluid, to burn their guitars.

Room 710
Smokin’ Toads, Trashy & The Kid, Country Willie & The Cosmic Debris, The Whoremoans
Rock, Hard Rock, Cosmic Country
Smokin’ Toads remind of Heart, before they became light rock. Country Willie and the Cosmic Debris sound pretty much what you’d think they would with a name like that.

Ruta Maya
Diasporic, DJ Panda
8:00
Funk, Hip Hop
Jazzy hip hop with as much funk as rap. D-Madness is on skins. One funkin’ party, that’s for sure.

Saxon Pub
The Resentments, The Salingers, Beth Lee (CD release)
Roots Rock, Americana
7:30 / $7
One of the town’s most famous weekly residencies, The Resentments continue to pack the house. Beth Lee bluegrass CD release follows, capped by Steven Will and the Salingers rootsy Americana.
