Gearing up for the big Party Ends Showcase of Austin Freeness on Saturday, we spammed the inboxes of the performers with a few quick questions…First up is Austin’s premier LCD Soundsystem tribute band All My Friends.
These guys blew me away before their sound check was even over at the Third Annual ManFest back in December [...]

Manfest is upon us. Sure it is going to cold but we will have free Cazadores and Lone Star Beer to warm you up. Oh, and a centaur that will nuzzle you all you want.
All the irony and fantasy is going down on Saturday, Dec. 5th from 2 to 7 p.m.  Birds Barbershop [...]

The beauty of the Fully Fitted Live From Home Series is that you rarely hear any annoying MSTRKRFT or Steve Aoki remixes- you get a more laid back, and 9 times outta 10, more interesting array of songs that provide an essential alternative to the internet mixtape landscape. In these mixes you have un-mastered [...]

Here is some old news to report:
The ad wizards at Mountain Dew (ahem- excuse me: “Mtn Dew”) who slave away at branding themselves as cool via Green Label Sound have once again won me over. About a month ago they dropped a free singles from electro-funk bros Chromeo called Night By Night that is [...]

Is it really time for another installment of the annual Team Fabrication no holds bar fashion and music event? Did they really pull off free vodka until it runs out? Yes and yes.
At this point I think it is safe to say that TF is an Austin institution right up there with Polvo’s [...]

How did Halloween sneak up so fast? Seems like only yesterday I was reenacting Columbus finding America in LARP form, and now I need to start thinking of the best way to be a zombie Dr. Ziodberg. Time sure does seem to fly.
We are pleased as Halloween punch to be a part of [...]

There are a ton of things brewing here at PartyEnds HQ, everything from boat parties to pots upon pots of coffee.  Literally.
We are pleased as punch to announce an excellent all ages show at Red 7 On Saturday August 15th featuring Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Shapes Have Fangs, Love Collector and Listener! This is a [...]

There are so many couple bands these days!  It is a good trend I am fine with and even more so ever since learning about Math the Band.  The boy/girl/A.D.D/Casio/SparksEnergyDrink/party/crazy awesomeness of Math the Band is something I can’t wait to see live in Austin at Club 1808 in June and you should be pumped [...]

Newsflash- The Austin Facial Hair Club is entering the  World Beard and Moustache Championships in Anchorage, Alaska.  We are a beard loving people here in Austin TX,  as demonstrated with our continued appreciation of irony, the annual Misprint Beard and Mustache competition and yes even the PartyEnds/Birds Barbershop ManFest.
The months of training all come down [...]

Hello Facebook, here are the new profile photos for everyone in Austin; and they’re in 3D, which is way cooler than what you’re used to, I know. You’ve been biting your nails in anticipation, but Annie Ray has just put of her awesome spectacle of photographic tri-dimentionality known as the 3D photobooth at the Birds [...]

Well, it was a big weekend. There was a phenomenal turnout at the Birds Barbershop grand opening, the Austin Election went kind of badly, and, of course, Star Trek came out. Now, I’ll be up front with the fact that I’m not a trekk-y / -er / -ophile, but I spent a fair few hours [...]

Oh snap!  The Austin American Statesman has their photos up from Friday night at Birds Barbershop’s 3D grand opening!  Check out all the souls that photographer extraordinaire David Weaver captured for the A-List HERE.
*****************************
If you love 3D things, you will love this new track from Radiohead remix champion AmpLive. It is the first single from [...]

Last night was epic.  I was too busy enjoying myself with libations and 3D trickery to take any pictures- but luckily Logan Youree from the Austin Chronicle was on hand to work his magic.  These photos each tell an important story about the grand opening of the South Congress Birds Barbershop and I have no [...]

Tonight is the night.  The FREE Astronautalis show at Birds Barbershop on South Congress. Neiliyo and Andy (the mouth) are also on hand to help kick off this Mother’s Day weekend all nice and proper like.  Be there tonight from 9-midnight for all the 3D booze you can drink.  Check out the sweet new 3D [...]

This Friday, May 8th, there is a HUGE FREE PARTY happening over at the NEWEST Birds Barbershop on South Congress.  Yes, from 9-midnight you can come drink for free and jam out to Austin’s next big thing Neiliyo and the indie hip-hop troubadour Astronautalis for FREE.  Andy (the Mouth) will be keeping things moving all [...]

In the issue of BUST that I walked away with from the big Space Camp SXSW day show over at the East Austin Birds Barbershop had a profile on the girl who played Martin Starr’s girlfriend in Knocked Up. Her name is Charlyne Yi. Her scenes are breif but completely memorable and are [...]

Check out this brief interview with Bay Area remix maestro with Texas roots Amplive that was conducted in the barber chair of the Birds Barbershop Space Camp. Hear him talk about his reactions to the cease and desist papers he got from the Radiohead publishing company and how thankful he is that he doesn’t [...]

Look! Another relic from SXSW! This one is a great slice of the SPACE CAMP event we were lucky enough to be a part of and features one of two freestyle raps that Astronautalis performed on the inside stage. Some of the topics he touches on over a Slim Thug instrumental include [...]

If you haven’t heard already by someone who had a sweaty Israeli man’s bare chest (or worse) in their face at the Mess With Texas Monotonix show, then let me tell you: their show was insane.  Crowd surfing like I’ve never seen before, microphones in butts, broken English, and jumping on and off more things [...]

Thanks to everyone who came out to the big Space Camp party at Birds Barbershop yesterday! There were no fistfights or wild fires so I would chalk it up to another fun success.  I saw a lot of happy faces which seemed to be a perfect mix of out of towners and locals.  It couldn’t [...]
