Arts and culture to fill your days Thursday 8 - Saturday 10, The DomainAustin isn’t known as an especially fashionable city. We’re too attached to our flip-flops, tank-tops, and other hyphenated items that are really more about summer survival than looking fierce. This weekend, however, there’s a slate of stylish events to remind us how good we can look when we put our best people to the task.

Friday 25, Radio/EastLast year, Silverada took the cover of the Chronicle as the hard-driving country quintet shed the Mike & the Moonpies moniker they’d ridden for nearly two decades and reloaded for the next phase of the band. Their ethos remained the same, though, with a grinding mindset and crowd-winning combination of rocked-out live shows and sincere ballads that has carved their mark on the independent country scene.

Live music to drown out the week's news Thursday 7, Emo’sDuster couldn’t have timed their second act better. The San Jose slowcore masters released two great, but relatively underground, albums during their initial Y2K-era run before disbanding for nearly 20 years. Shortly after reemerging with 2019’s Duster, the kids on TikTok discovered the melancholy guitar noodles and spacey drones of 1998 magnum opus Stratosphere.

Trump: 266. Harris: 218. That’s where the electoral vote left off when I shut off Brian Williamson Prime Video’s Election Night coverage. And he looked as poleaxed as the rest of us as the night unfurled, and America chose to vote based on the misguided supposition that the president’s in charge of the price of eggs, milk and a tank of gas.

“You wanted the best, you got…HUH?!”On November 5th, 1996, two gaudy spectacles clashed head-on: Election Day, and the original lineup of KISS – kabuki makeup, platform boots, and all – at Austin's Frank Erwin Center. One had real-world stakes. The other? Well, let's just say I wish I'd snuck a tape recorder in for Paul Stanley’s hilariously clueless commentary on voting. I rarely attended shows at the Erwin Center. For one thing, it’s an arena.

Thurston Joseph Michael Moore, of London-by-way-of-Northhampton, Massachusettes-by-way-of-NYC-by-way-of-Bethel, Connecticut-by-way-of-Coral-Gabels, Florida, is my type of musicologist. As related in his recent book, Sonic Life: A Memoir [470 pages, $35, Doubleday, New York, 2023], his rock ‘n’ roll impulses were first awakened by The Kingsmen’s garage apotheosis “Louie Louie.” Meaning he was a punk rocker from the moment he saw the checkered flag drop.

Yes, this is a Photoshop. No, we don’t know if the Vice President digs the Dolls, but wouldn’t it be cool if she did? We do know her husband posed with a copy of Give ‘Em Enough Rope as a teenager, however. Austin, Texas, Wednesday, October 30, 2024: From 2008 until this year, I was ineligible to vote, because I have moved so much that I did not fit residency requirements. People who I felt unfit to lead won by narrow margins.
