Brazilian Girls at Empire Control Room and Garage

Brazilian Girls are a band that will certainly turn heads this weekend during their set at Empire Control Room and Garage. Known for their interesting twist on different electronic music genres, Brazilian Girls give their fans a live show that might raise a few eyebrows if you aren’t used to the group and their offbeat style. With front woman Sabina Sciubba wearing unique stage costumes, while also presenting an out of the box stage persona, the bands set is not the only entertaining aspect of their music. Their songs are different as well, with Sciubba taking on more of a spoken word approach to her lyrics, rather than traditional singing. While Austin is certainly a diverse music mecca, the bands local venues book are more even more so. If you are looking for something more off kilter, than Empire Control Room is where you need to be this Friday.

Tickets: Sold out (advanced) At The Door: $20.00

Riders Against The Storm at The Sidewinder

Austin hip hop outfit Riders Against The Storm, aren’t your typical hip hop band. Performing acapella style with hand claps and a trombone make their songs refreshingly catchy, while pulling us in with their addicting sound. Bringing hints of jazz into the mix makes their style even more appealing, and for anyone who isn’t into hardcore hip hop, Riders Against The Storm is the perfect group to catch this weekend.
