Vinyl Entertainment and Dripping Springs Vodka Presents The Story Of with The Soldier Thread and The Bright Light Social Hour on Thursday, July 9th at The Parish.

The Story Of

Until the Autumn

The history behind Until the Autumn reads like a script for a made-for-TV movie: five friends from Athens, Ohio, relocate to Austin, then, after 2007's The World's Affair, write and record their fourth album on the banks of the Colorado River – in a cabin owned by Maryann Price no less. Thankfully, Until the Autumn makes a fine soundtrack. Passive and pastoral, the local quintet writes heavily textured, piano-based indie pop that, in standouts such as "Berkeley" and "Hawk Gospel," lands between Ben Gibbard's Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie. The vibe throughout is incessantly positive, largely due to the sensitive resolve of singer Christman Hersha, whose soft touch cushions "Veterans Day" and "The Flock." Most impressive is the way the Story Of manages to explore organic and religious themes without ever sounding too far-reaching or cliché. Consider this New Sincerity for the Garden State generation.

THE STEPS (www.myspace.com/thesteps):
Born under the influence of classic rock in the Live Music Capital of the World, The Steps chisel through modern rock with 60's sensibilities and capture all the hooks of early Brit Rock. The Steps inked their first deal
while still in their tender teens; a 7" vinyl single, Outlaw, on Young and Lost Club Records UK (2007). The band's eponymous debut, produced by Frenchie Smith (Jet, Dandy Warhols), garnered immediate international attention. In the Spring of 2008, Kurofune Records (Japan) and Playing in Traffic (US) teamed up for a release of the album followed by tours to the UK, Japan, and back. The Steps continue to floor audiences with their incendiary live shows at home and abroad, supporting such acts as The Black Keys, The Raconteurs, The Duke Spirit, What Made Milwaukee Famous, and Noah and the Whale.

VINYL DHARMA (www.myspace.com/vinyldharma):
On New Year's Eve 2008, Vinyl Dharma made their national debut at the TRL Studios on MTV2. Now an Austin based electro pop band, Vinyl Dharma's energetic and lively performances hook and capture the audience. Recently, MTV2 came down to Austin to film Vinyl Dharma at a live show at Stubb's and to film their daily lives for on-air promos (which are expected to air at the end of Nov/early Dec).

THE DIVING CAPTAIN (www.myspace.com/thedivingcaptain):
The Diving Captain, an energetic and fun indie pop group, is slowly making a rise in Austin. They recently opened up for Mucca Pazza at Emo's for an unforgettable show!

Hey everyone,

It's rare when MTV decides to come to Austin, Texas to film local bands at the root of what they do:  play music.  So, when MTV told us that not only are they going to film three local bands play live, but they're going to film them hanging out, recording and jamming out, we were sold!

All three bands are extremely talented in their own rights.  Each band delivers to the audience something special and unique. 

Headlining for the night will be Vinyl Dharma, an indie electro pop/rock band.  In 2007, they won MTV2's On the Rise Contest and had an opportunity to play at the TRL studios in Times Square on New Year's Eve.  Since then, they moved from South Texas to Austin to expose their music to the "Live Music Capital of the World."  So, watch out for MTV on Thursday during the day and Friday while they film Vinyl Dharma around town.

Second on the billing are Austin veterans, The Story Of.  Their music is powerful and lyrical.  Their last album, "The World's Affair," received praising reviews by notable organizations such as NPR.  And if you take one listen to it, you'll know why.  It's that good!  So, we were ecstatic that The Story Of agreed to participate.  Not only will MTV film them at the Stubb's show, but on Friday, they will be heading out to their studios at a cabin in the woods to hear them jam while they're recording their next album.

And last but definitely not least, A Faulty Chromosome will be opening the bill.  A Faulty Chromosome is not your average shoegaze band.  They are extremely entertaining and incredibly intriguing to watch on stage.  Even paddy cake hand-claps come with the show!  They're currently on tour, but will be back right in time to play and be interviewed by MTV at Stubb's. 

As an indulgence to yourself, buy your tickets to the MTV2 filming at Stubb's this Thursday, August 21st - doors at 9 pm.  Tickets are on sale through www.stubbs.frontgatetickets.com. 

Who knows...you might even be on TV!!!  But what's even better is showing your support to well deserving bands.

Cheers,

Gina - Vinyl Entertainment
