StaleFish (album release), Pelvis Wrestley (single release), LINT!, Homemade Bangs

Melding up-to-date bedroom-pop with a healthy dose of Nineties slacker rock nostalgia, homegrown sixpiece Stalefish embarks on a two-show Austin romp in celebration of debut album Stalefish Does America. Friday’s Hotel Vegas festivities see the college-aged up-and-comers join forces with fellow DIYers Pelvis Wrestley, LINT!, and Homemade Bangs, while Tuesday’s cassette release party at Antone’s serves as a solo showing for the Happen Twice signees. For a sneak peek into the group’s feel-good live energy, try last month’s “Wash Yer Hair (Forever),” a syrupy sweet sing-along that channels the jangle pop goodness of Ween. —2977723
