Grocery Bag, Moon Owl's Mages, Shock Tea and Possums

$10 adv tix available HERE

Austin’s garage psych scene is currently a fertile, reverb drenched breeding ground for some of the most kinetic rock music in the country, and Grocery Bag is its latest prize export. The quartet, comprised of Bella Martinez, Jimmy Mercado, Dillon Aitala, and Logan Kerman, has spent the last two years mutating from a last-minute house show experiment into a formidable unit of face-melting "garage psych brashness." It’s a recipe that has already earned them support slots for heavyweights like Osees, Frankie & The Witch Fingers, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Chamber Cartel plus Jordan Benator

Chamber Cartel is proud to present the world premieres of three newly commissioned works! Listen by Nick Demos is a multi-movement quasi-jazz quartet (Saxophone, Upright Bass, Marimba, and Percussion) that serves as a bit of a warning. Throughout recorded history, humanity has watched helplessly as the darker nature of our souls unravel the nobility of our civilization. One by one, great empires have arisen and flourished over the many centuries only to ultimately succumb to the worst versions of ourselves. Larvae by Jordan Benator is an open instrumentation, variable length work that explores the gestation of an idea over the course of the piece. Machine City Z by Christopher Adler is scored for Alto Flute, Viola, Piano (with preparations), and Percussion. This three movement work is filled with rhythmic activity, hocketing, interlocking rhythms, and engaging textures.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Shane Parish

Shane Parish is a guitarist, composer, improviser, and interpreter whose work focuses on the translation of music across traditions, canons, and technologies. Known for his precise and expressive fingerstyle technique and his nuanced approach to transcription, Parish treats interpretation as a compositional practice, using existing works as material for structural and sonic transformation.

His recent solo recordings center on recontextualizing music not originally written for guitar. Autechre Guitar (2026, Palilalia Records) presents acoustic fingerstyle arrangements of music by the English electronic duo Autechre. REPERTOIRE (2024) applies the same methodology to works by composers and artists including Alice Coltrane, John Cage, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus. Solo at CafΓ© OTO (2025, Red Eft Records) documents a live electric guitar performance of English and American folk ballads.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Austin Englehardt & be not afraid plus Andrew Loveless and Kyle Smith (Blotten)

be not afraid

Be Not Afraid is the moniker of Corey A. Curtis’ decentralizing folk art practice. Relying heavily on handmade β€œnoise boxes” built of salvaged materials and open source circuits designed by artist such as Peter Blasser, Ida HirΕ‘enfelder, Martin Freeman, Travis Johns, etc., Be Not Afraid utilizes simple transistor oscillators and CMOS logic chips to explore β€œthe letting go of control, anxiety, and perfection.” Dabbling in spatial sound and crowd participation he also likes to blur the lines between audience and performer. But really, it is just about having fun and being surprised because as he admits, β€œI really don’t know what I am doing.” And that is okay.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: BASrelief plus Cameron Wilson & Friends

BASrelief

BASrelief is a creative music group featuring mandolinist Majid Araim and cellist Benjamin Shirley, with Julian Scott Bryan on percussion. The group seeks to fashion a space for the traditions of jazz, mountain music, and experimental improvisation to interact, with a focus on deep listening, dynamic energy, and collaborative composition.

Cameron Wilson & Friends

Cameron’s music functions as a living ecosystem, organically weaving ambient textures with propulsive beats. His compositions draw from the intricate rhythms of the natural worldβ€”from the microscopic pulse of a cell to the grand cycles of the seasons.
Straddling the intersection of spiritual jazz, electronic music, and contemporary-classical, this performance features a preview of Cameron’s upcoming album 'Walking in Place in Circles'.
Come forth and be immersed!

Discontent, Fragmentation, Seasons End, Arkestra, Drawn To Blood

Hailing from the heart of the New York hardcore scene, Discontent has quickly built a reputation for delivering a visceral, "hardcore to the bone" experience that bridges the gap between classic heavy hardcore and the dark intensity of death metal. Often associated with the Streets of Hate roster, the band is known for a sonic profile defined by filthy, muddled guitar tones and pummeling, 90s-inspired production that hits, as fans describe it, "like a truck."
