September 30, 2008 - The first official weekend of fall hosted the seventh annual Austin City Limits Festival along the banks of downtown's Town Lake, a successful endeavor with no cancellations or minor emergencies as in years past. More than 130 acts took the stage over the three-day period with capacity crowds thrilled by the mild temperatures and sunny skies.
March 9, 2008 - Lyric-driven listeners will take to this Southern quintet like wildfire. Singer Jesse Coppenbarger's thought-provoking words (not to mention the varied delivery) are smartly coupled with layered guitars that add another dimension of intensity to the Mississippi native's work. With the help of skilled engineer Clay Jones--the man responsible for producing Modest Mouse's wildly successful "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank"-- Colour Revolt has a powerful full-length debut on Fat Possum Records, "Plunder, Beg, and Curse," available in stores April 1.
Performing Thursday, March 13 at 9 p.m. at Spiro's (615 Red River St.).
