We wanted to start the concert season off right with a poster from the Keith Ferguson Papers. This poster from the late 1990s was used to market Rocket Sixty-Nine’s performance of their album, Jump Shot! at The Carousel Lounge in Austin, TX.

This historic, unique venue is still located at 1110 E. 52nd St., and we highly recommend visiting if you are ever in the area!

Yeast by Sweet Beast 2019

Yeast by Sweet Beast Fest is the longest-running 3-night experimental music festival in North America. 2019 marks the 19th year that thereminist, drummer & guitarist Anne Heller has organized and self-funded this three-night DIY festival of experimental, avant-garde and outsider music which has featured acts from all over the United States, Canada, France, Puerto Rico and Argentina.  Yeast by Sweet Beast Fest 2017 featured TED Talk speaker and Baltimore musician John Berndt, saxophone-laden experimental rockers Weird Omen from France, jazz-punk mavens Jazzus Lizard, haunting Argentinian ambient songstress Ana Barajas and venerable triple-decade Austin power space rockers ST-37.    

“My goal in life (and with Yeast by Sweet Beast Fest) is to make it so everyone can musically turn up the weird so that fewer people feel like they have to shoot people in public places,” says festival creator and curator Anne Heller.  

The beautiful and hospitable Sidewinder hosted this 3-night, 2-stage smorgasbord of strange musical delights in 2017.  Sidewinder, Carousel Lounge & Nomad Bar hosted the fest in 2018.

Historic Carousel Lounge and equally-historic Elysium are the host venues for 2019.   Yeast by Sweet Beast Fest has for 19 years always taken place during the first weekend of SXSW, the Film and Interactive weekend, so that international filmmakers and gamers might find new sources and inspirations for music for their projects and so that musicians who play the fest will not violate their SXSW performance agreements if they end up playing both fests.  Yeast by Sweet Beast Fest harmoniously co-exists with SXSW.   Admission is an inexpensive $5 per evening, so that (in true DIY fashion) everyone who loves music can afford to attend.  Please contact Anne at [email protected] or check http://www.yeastbysweetbeast.com or https://www.facebook.com/yeastbysweetbeast for more information.

Gosh, you know it's been a busy week when it took me almost a whole week to post this! But I've been wanting to shout out BIG HUGE THANKS to the beautiful souls who came to my show at Carousel Lounge last Wednesday! I had the best time, it truly was a Happy Hour for me & I hope for you too! And to top it all off, I got to hear a few songs Whalen Nash and Shawnee Kilgore at the end! 💖 Extra thanks to Whalen for tech help and to Ana Bee for slinging drinks & singing back up harmonies from behind the bar! (PS thanks to the person who took the picture of me! Embarrassed that I've lost track but let me know & I will credit you!)
