For those of you who don't know, I moved to Austin this week. I have been wanting to move here for a long time and finally made the leap. My current situation is that I am unemployed, sleeping on an air mattress and my clothes are still in boxes. But, I have a place to live and have been spending quality time with the O-town(Olive)!
One reason I am excited to be here is because the music scene is amazing, and can rival most cities in the U.S. So wasting no time, Malinda (my roomate) and I went to an Album Release Party at The Parish on 6th Street. The band we saw is called Shearwater, and they were amazing! Whats cool about this, is that the band used a string quartet in addition to the five members of the original band in the recording of there new album "Rook." They are only playing two shows with this complete ensemble, one was in New York City, and the other we saw last night! Shearwater also had another special treat. They played every song from their new album, took a break, and came back to play a fantastic set of older songs. So if you get a chance to see this band, take it!
To end an already fun night we rode our bikes home through downtown at midnight, I love night riding in an empty city!
