ACL festival lineup mashup

The lineup for this year's Austin City Limits festival comes out Tuesday, but the folks over at ACL want to throw you a bone with a lineup mashup by Austin's Car Stereo (Wars). See how many artists you can recognize by ear, or cheat and check out a message board post listing them.



Greenville Two Rows closed

Joyce Saenz Harris over on the DMN's Eats blog has reported that Two Rows, the brewery in Old Town Shopping Center on Greenville, has closed. No one seems to have any details yet as to why.

I wondered if the adjacent bar The Point is closed as well, because I thought they were owned by the same company. A quick search revealed that it is closed, if this post is true.



Last post on Sue Ellen's, I swear

The guys and gals at Caven Enterprises gave a preview party of the soon-to-be-reincarnated Sue Ellen's last night. People should be impressed by what they've done in a few short months. Who would have thought that knocking out a wall or two would have opened the place up so much.

Full recap after the jump...

More places to sing your heart out

Reader Liz says she recommends The Dallasite on Friday nights, the old Ross dive that recently moved to Fitzhugh and Bryan:

I haven't been to karaoke since the move, but when it was on Ross it was great. Young, old, black, white, people celebrating anniversaries or birthdays, they don't care if you sing multiple times as long as you wait your turn. Good people.

Thanks Liz!



Mokah Music Summit moved back a day

The folks behind the upcoming Mokah Music Summit have announced that their daylong event will be moved from April 19 to April 20, so that local music fans won't have to choose between their event and the April 19 Good Records bash. A hard move for an event that's been so heavily promoted, but a smart and considerate one, I think. Their bulletin follows after the jump.

Sunset Lounge gets a makeover

The last time I went to Sunset Lounge was way back in the day, maybe two years ago. It had just opened and was this chic, dark hotspot with valet. I remember hearing Johnny Kemp's "Just Got Paid" and going crazy. And a mix of Kelis' "Milkshake" and Madonna's "Holiday." Thought that was clever. Remember when mash-ups seemed new?

Anyway: The place has undergone a makeover, and there's a party to celebrate next Friday, April 18. Among the new additions: A patio bar, a VIP area, a new DJ booth and an "off the hook state-of-the-art sound system."

I really liked the patio back then, so the addition of a bar seems like a great idea. If anyone goes, let me know what you think.
