Bad Luck Penny (EP release), Kid Chaleroi, Other Vessels (duo)

Anti-folk music may have been one of the few good things to come out of the Reagan administration. Beck, Jeffrey Lewis, Kimya Dawson, the list of legendary acts goes on … but it’s not yet lengthy in Austin. Bad Lucky Penny, however, is standing decidedly firm in the genre’s legacy, and is out with its second folk-punk EP this week. Meet the quartet at Radio/East as they ring in the new batch of songs with Kid Charleroi and Other Vessels opening. – Levi Langley
