Christmas in July w/ Floating Cube (EP release), Queen Serene, CorMae [inside]; Andrew Cashen & the Disciples of Creation, Sultanes del Yonke, Pure Instinct [patio]
You might as well have Christmas in July, considering we'll probably have the same weather come Dec. 24 and 25. But while Hotel Vegas spikes the eggnog out of season on Saturday, the gift exchange comes courtesy of a stacked local lineup, both inside and out on the patio. A Giant Dog/Sweet Spirit not-so-secret weapon Andrew Cashen brings his Disciples of Creation outdoors alongside El Paso's border-bending cumbia experimentalists Sultanes del Yonke, while inside, Queen Serene, CorMae, and Floating Cube celebrate the latter's new EP. Skip the ugly sweater, but don't skip one of Austin's merriest midsummer musical parties. – Tim Stegall
