Upon further reflection, I think TwoGroove is done. Look, I haven’t updated in a while, I rarely even check Facebook and Twitter, and I’d rather enjoy what’s in front of me not what’s in cyperspace. Hence, I think I’m done blogging and all that. TwoGroove was a complete success in my mind and I enjoy [...]

Wait, I take that back
The State of TwoGroove
Ok, I haven’t done a site update news thing in a while so I think it’s time you and I sit down and have a chat and talk a little bit about TwoGroove. I’m finding less time to update the site and blog and we need to talk about that. Believe it or not, TwoGroove [...]

Show Report and Pictures: Das Racist and Zeale Flo-20 party at Red 7
Unfortunately, the High Holiday for stoners fell on a Wednesday this year. That didn’t stop me and a whole messa people heading downtown, as Austin was electric Wednesday night. The Kills, Psychedelic Furs, Das Racist, A-Trak, and Kid Sister were all lighting up shows across the city. I was at the Flo 20 party at [...]

And you can be too…if you hurry and get your tickets. This 4/20, Couch Professor Entertainment brings you Das Racist and Zeale at Red 7. Knowing Andy (and all of the sponsors he has for this show), expect the unexpected. If you don’t get at least a contact high from this show, you’re probably doing [...]

Past, Present, Future: Not Them

Past, Present, Future: The Wallburds
Ok, ok, we’re back! Last week was a combination of work and post-SXSW droll, but now I’m glad to share with you some nice, upbeat rock from Los Angeles power trio The Wallburds. Maybe it’s because I drank the Kool-Aid in Southern California but I have a soft spot for fun, straight-forward rock that doesn’t take [...]

The 2011 SXSW TwoGroove Mix: A Listener’s Guide
I know your attention span is being challenged left and right what with the SXSW fanfare and all. I hope you’ll take 20 minutes and check out the South By Southwest edition of the TwoGroove mix. Nine artists submitted their tracks, and I mixed and mashed them together in a short mix that hopefully showcases [...]

Today’s Past, Present, Future is brought to you by the letter S and the 2011 SXSW TwoGroove Mix, which is nearing completion and barring any more delays, should be uploaded and available to listen to on Friday. I’ve been fighting the urge to slice and dice the tracks into oblivion and the result is simple, [...]

Yeah, so I’m going to Mardi Gras…
-
Artist:
Ok, so I’ve been lazy posting this week. With everyone focused on SXSW, I don’t think too many people will mind. Unfortunately I’ll be out of town the week of SXSW Music so that sucks (I’m still one of those guys that likes SXSW). I’m looking forward to good coverage from all the great Austin [...]

February’s TwoGroove mix gets you in the mood
But maybe not the mood for love. The sun’s out and SXSW is only a month away. Time to come all the way out of hibernation and get back to it! This month’s mix can help you out. Even though the SXSW edition of the TwoGroove mix is looming, I went ahead and threw a [...]

Past, Present, Future: Pastora
-
Artist:
I’ve got an interesting one man band for you to check out this week. Pastora is the informal brainchild of Derek Buckner, a multi-talented Brooklynite who is returning to his solo career after taking some time out to play guitar and sing in his alt-country group Sugarpine. The sounds coming out of Pastora are definitely [...]

DJ Orion wants you to have Animus, his new EP
The title of the post says it all. Austin DJ/producer Orion Garcia is ready to share his latest 5 tracks in an EP package he’s calling Animus. And you can have them all for free. All you have to do is download the file. The 5 tracks vary greatly, from the accordion-heavy norteno-meets-dubstep opener “El Gordo [...]

The TwoGroove SXSW mix: The Plan
It’s been about a week since I announced the SXSW Edition of the TwoGroove mix. In that time, I’ve received about six tracks from various Austin musicians and producers. It’s a great start, but I want at least six more. Since it looks like this this is going to happen, I thought I’d share the [...]

TwoGroove January 2011 mix: Mac10 and Cheese!
Fair warning: This month’s TwoGroove mix is high-energy, heavy-hitting, and cheesy as hell. I’m not sure how the inspiration hit to gather together the likes of Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, Queen, Starship, Taio Cruz, etc. but once it hit, there was no stopping it. Luckily, the cheese is tempered by some legitimately killer beat-heavy tracks from Skrillex [...]

Austin musicians! Get your tracks in for the SXSW edition of the TwoGroove mix
There I was, freezing cold and sipping a bourbon, when it hit me: I need to have a SXSW edition of the monthly TwoGroove mix! Only, instead of showcasing SXSW artists, I’m going to showcase AUSTIN artists. TwoGroove isn’t exactly the biggest deal if you know what I mean so I need some help getting [...]

Show Report: Kraddy on New Year’s Eve at Ace’s Lounge
Happy first work week of 2011! I don’t know about you, but I already miss the holidays. The overeating, relaxing, and some great shows…not least of which was the Kraddy show at Ace’s Lounge on New Year’s Eve. Formerly a founding member of The Glitch Mob, Kraddy was in Austin and rocked a full house [...]

Happy 2011! What are your NYE plans?

Artist:
Life is pretty rough right now. The weather is mild, work schedules are relaxed, and Austin has more than a a few great New Year’s Eve offerings for you…one of which I will be attending, camera in hand. Friday night, I’ll be headed to the insanity that is Sixth Street to cover the Kraddy show [...]

TwoGroove Mix: December 2010 is short and hard
-
Artist:
…like a body-building elf. Yep, that’s a lyric from Bloodhound Gang, remember them? Luckily, this mix has zero instances of Bloodhound Gang. Instead, it’s a mini-mix that features electronic music both new and old. We start off with the newcomers, Deadmau5, Skrillex, and Designer Drugs (after a little Scissor Sisters intro). As the mix progresses, [...]
