Punk rock, beer, and skee ball. Have I got your attention? If you've been to Red 7 in the past couple of months you may have noticed changes popping up here and there. Different sign out front. Fresh paint jobs. Stuff like that. Turns out they were working on a complete redesign of the place. Tonight is the soft opening of the redesigned Red 7, complete with an always-free "punk-rock wreck room". This includes skee ball, pool tables, air hockey, and vintage arcade games. I'm most excited about the pool tables, honestly. I love me some 8-ball, but only two Red River venues have pool tables. Room 710, which I don't frequent often. And Red Eyed Fly, which is a chill spot but unfortunately the pool tables are practically up against the wall, killing off a bunch of angles. It's also Transmission Entertainment founder Graham Williams' birthday. He'll be hanging out. If you enjoyed even one show at Free Week last week, you have this man to thank. Come check out one of Austin's best up-and-coming music venues.
Welcome to 'NITES
'NITES was a music blog that covered local bands in Austin, Texas.
Local journalist and multimedia producer AJ Miranda launched this blog in the summer of 2008 with the goal of spotlighting the unsigned bands he loved but felt were invisible in the local entertainment media.
'NITES started as a YouTube account (youtube.com/nitesatx) and eventually became this blog. Show previews, concert photos and free mp3s soon followed.
In this blog's glory days, it was the subject of writeups in the local media, including features and interviews about 'NITES in the Daily Texan, Republic of Austin and Do512 Blog. Those glory days have since passed; 'NITES, the blog, was retired in 2011, but its intent and spirit lives on through social media.

Red 7 Re-birthday

I always thought this place had a lot of potential, I'm glad to hear they're changing some things up around there.
Free skee ball too?
Fuckin' forget about it.
