By Mary Kate Varnau on 11:30 AM on September 19, 2008

Thomas Function, the Alabama band that considers itself part of an ongoing "rock-n-roll renaissance," begins its fall tour next week. The band's debut, Celebration, came out earlier this year (it's quite good, if we do say so ourselves), and the guys are looking forward to the November release of a 7".

Foo Fighters, Plant & Krauss, Beck head 2008 ACL line-up

It was cool when the Austin City Limits Music Festival leaked a line-up teaser last week in the form of a musical mash-up featuring 29 of the artists playing the 2008 festival. We had fun guessing. Thankfully though, the festival organizers have now put us out of our misery and simply told us who's playing. All the obsessive speculation can quit, because here the lucky bands be. The top half (and therefore ostensibly the more important half?) of the poster reads as follows: Foo Fighters, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Beck (long live the '90s!), Manu Chao, John Fogerty, David... read more

By Julia Reidy on 4:34 PM on April 8, 2008

Get those discerning ears ready! While the full lineup for this year's Austin City Limits Music Festival will appear on this page on April 15, in the meantime (and as if festival news doesn't trickle in gradually enough), ACL has taken lineup-leaking technology to a new level. They've posted an audio mash-up of songs by 29 of the confirmed artists (out of 130) for the fest. The mix was made by Austin filmmaker Christopher Rose, recording under the moniker Car Stereo (Wars). Listen here, and let the hypothesizing begin! If there's no time in your busy schedule to try to... read more
