Welcome to 'NITES
'NITES was an Austin-based blog that covered the local music scene in Central Texas. I started this blog because I love live music and I think Austin is the best city in the world to discover talented new bands. I ran this blog with passion and enthusiasm for a few years, before growing apart from the scene I'd once lived and breathed. This blog spent a year in limbo before I made the final decision to shutter it. The blog's previous posts will remain live, but there will be no future updates. Thanks for your years of readership and feedback. It was fun while it lasted, but times change. People change. Scenes change. Change isn't something to fear, but rather something to embrace. Peace, love and rock 'n' roll, y'all. Feel free to dig through the archives for photos, videos and writeups about Austin music from 2008 to 2010. If you use my work anywhere, please give me credit. Thanks!

Episode#4: The Always Already
The Always Already, a post-punk-influenced synth-rock trio, plays music that was made for dancing. For me, a good judge of a band's live show is how into the set the band itself seems. While frontman Dustin Withers maintains the cooly-detached presence of any good post-punker, he still finds himself compelled to shimmy and shake. Bassist Louis Lemuz has trouble standing still for too long, skipping around stage. And drummer Jaime Cano sits behind the kit like an octopus with rhythm. Moral of the story: These dudes enjoy what they're playing on stage, and chances are you will too.
Filmed July 4, 2008 at Beauty Bar Austin on 7th Street, off Red River..
