Since I see a lot of ATX folks posting on the Music Board, I wanted to see what all y'all're thinking for concerts this spring? What am I missing?

Here's my lineup for now:
Jan. 20 — Rhymesayers Entertainment (Atmosphere, Brother Ali, deM atlas, Plain Ole Bill and Last Word)

Saturday, Feb. 11 — Futurebirds @ Barracuda

Thursday, Feb. 16 — Funky Meters, Flow Tribe and 7 Come 11 @ ACL Live

Saturday, April 1 — The Soul Rebels Sound System featuring Big Freedia @ Mohawk

Saturday, April 15 — The Revivalists with Greyhounds @ Emo's

Friday, April 28 — Oddisee and Good Company @ Empire Control Room

Worth noting: The Parish and Scoot Inn don't have a lot of shows posted yet. And I haven't even started to think about SXSW shows...

Still not like making it home for JazzFest, but this will help.

To each his own.

I know there's some hate for them on this board, but I stand by The Revivalists album being one of my favorite releases of 2015. The two times I've seen them since that release were good shows.

Ok, yeah, I get that. I thought it was something to do with their talent as a band.

You're killing me Smalls! Your taste in music is terrible

Revivalists are legit. Is the singer douchey? Sure is...

No not what I meant, I thought the people on the board hated them because of their music, not because Dave Shaw is a douche

They've been my number 1 artist on Spotify for 2 years in a row, already have tickets to see them at the Varsity in March.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Had just seen several people laugh at them on here and was curious as to why.

Good question that I don't really have an answer to... Best I can tell it's because some posters have a problem with the lead singer. And it doesn't necessarily seem to do with his vocals or anything but more about his stage presence and personality? No one has given me a good answer to why they like crapping on this band.

It's not this board. It's just a couple of the usual suspects.

Thanks for this thread, as I've been wanting to come to Austin for some live music soon. In Nola we have wwoz.org to go to for live music listings. Is there a similar website for Austin that lists all shows? I know jambase does, but wondering if there is a local site.

Was talking to my brother about great austin guitarists and I asked about MM. My brother says most local music people laugh at him for trying too hard. Thats always been my opinion of him. He can play no doubt but he just gets over the top. I've seen him at The saxon pub a few years ago....It was ok.
