Party Ends

        

    It is once again time for all of the Anticon Record nuts to come out of the woodwork and make their way downtown for a good old fashioned Why? show! Touring in support of their third LP, Alopecia, the group brings their poetic and abstract tunes to Austin for what I think is the first time since SXSW.  The former cLOUDDEAD member and co. are known for playing widely diverse sets from night to night on tours, so, no telling what songs from what era they will be dropping tonight.  Rest assured, you can count on lead “single” the Hollows in what will probably be an amazing arrangement that may or may not be similar to the album version.

   Why? murmurs, raps, sings, enunciates, and can play the hell out of their instruments.  This is one thing that I have always thought sets this Anticon act leaps and bounds above their label mates, they do not rely on the traditional hip hop methodology – rather, they mesh hip hop and indie rock together in a way that is truly unique. Why? is a perfect gateway artist for Anticon acts. Check it out tonight on the Mohawk outside stage and see one of the most interesting and continually envelope-pushing artists in the alternative music landscape.  Opening up is former dude from the Microphones new project Mt. Eerie
