This is a past event.

Drakulas (record release), Oddfellows (record release), Death Party

Few Austin bands have evolved more enjoyably or strangely than Drakulas, Riverboat Gamblers' Mike Wiebe and Rise Against guitarist Zach Blair’s long-running side project. Celebrating new LP Midnight City, the fourpiece trades its usual Dickies-style sing-along punk for the charged late-Seventies electro-clang of Magazine and John Foxx-era Ultravox. Supporting: Nineties Dentonites Oddfellows, who resemble a garage-ier Buzzcocks. Various Oddfellows later surfaced in the Marked Men, Mind Spiders, and High Tension Wires before reuniting for this long-overdue debut album. Openers Death Party come off like a spookier Ramones trapped in a reverb tank. It’ll be the best, most left-of-center punk event this week. – Tim Stegall
