Hey - 


You know what this is, right?  One weblog about Austin Independent Music.  We added "Noise" to the title 'cause the signal's not all that pure: Like most blogs, this one is hampered by the bandwidth and taste of the author. Full disclosure, that: Now you know. Read on at your own peril.


The goal here is to highlight some of the musical talent in the Austin, Texas area. Being the self-proclaimed "Live Music Capital of the World", there's an amazing concentration of talent in this geographical area, which also happens to be the state capital of Texas, as well as home to -
Well, let's not pretend to be the chamber of commerce and just leave it at that.


What we will do, however, is regularly post small informational bits about the local talent, embedding the occasional music-playing widget when we can.

Check out their latest EP, "Telepathic War Machines", which, at the time of this writing, is a mere email-address away from being yours to own:




For future reference, be warned:  We love bandcamp!
