From youthful spirits of The Bishops to the cosmic and psychedelic mix that Golden Dawn Arkestra brings to the stage, the options to enjoy the latest and greatest mix of music right here in your own town are almost endless.
To help you enjoy a summer filled with lots of extraordinary new sounds and scenery, we’ve dedicated this month’s blog to showcase (and promote) the best new bands in Austin. Below you will find snippets from their websites. For more details, be sure to click on the name of each band that is anchored with a direct link to their site.
The Bishops
The Bishops are an Austin-based trio consisting of vocalist Cara Bishop, producer Troy Bishop, and rapper Luv Bishop. These siblings are bringing a new wavy sound to music, pushing the boundaries of any genre. The Bishops’ unique blend of styles consists of influences from electronic, hip-hop, jazz, RnB and pop music, creating a sound that is bound to bring together a diverse crowd.
Golden Dawn Arkestra
The Golden Dawn Arkestra are a psychedelic afrobeat band from Austin, TX. Golden Dawn Arkestra hails from a small planet in the constellation Cygnus, light-years away in the outermost reaches of the galaxy. The Arkestra conducts experiments involving space and time travel through the use of sound and movement. Their followers delight in these rituals; all bear witnesses to their higher selves and joyously bask in the eternal light that joins us all as one.
John Wesley Coleman III
Here’s an interesting story that starts like many of the stars that make it or break it to the stage. Although JWC III doesn’t have an official “bio” per se on his website, it’s worth some time for you to view it here to see and feel his ride to fame from his home in Austin.
Tele Novella
We present the following overview from “The Temp Agency” listing of this intriguing new talent that has taken the world by storm. As their story goes …
Tele Novella is sugar-crash dream-psych popsicle punch out of Austin, TX with members of Agent Ribbons and Voxtrot. Influenced by the nocturnal jungles of Os Mutantes and the lapeled, knee-socked smarts of Belle and Sebastian, the songwriting is sincere and evocative. In early 2014, they released the single version of ‘Trouble in Paradise’ on vinyl with American Laundromat Records right on the tail of the Wes Anderson tribute compilation, to which they contributed a contagious version of ‘Stephanie Says’ by the Velvet Underground. Now they’re releasing their first EP ‘Cosmic Dial Tone’ on Los Angeles Psych Pop label Lolipop Records and will be logging a whole lot of tour dates this fall.

FORMULA 1 United States Grand Prix & Taylor Swift Concert
OCTOBER 21 – 23
Circuit of The AmericasTM
Although this event doesn’t really fall into the “fall festival” theme of this blog, we could not possibly omit it from the list of fun things to do in Austin this month. If you have never attended a Formula 1 race, pack up the family from your home at LeMontreaux and head to the Circuit of The Americas TM track.
Noted as “The premier destination for world-class motorsports and entertainment in the United States”, this prestigious race is hosted on 1,500 acres in the rolling hills just outside downtown Austin. Since 2012, our city has hosted this event on a 3.41mile track that has seen some of the biggest competitors in the world compete for one of the biggest titles in the business.
But wait, there’s more! Even if you are not a race fan, make plans to get your tickets to see headliner Taylor Swift who is set to perform on October 22. Her concert, and others, take place at the Super Stage in the infield of the Circuit.

Texas Monthly BBQ Festival
October 30
City Terrace at The Long Center
According to the festival’s promotion department, “This tasty festival only has four rules: muster as many of Texas' best BBQ joints as possible; have them serve up their specialties, side-by-side; let smoke and sauce fly for five intoxicating hours; and finally, let The People decide who made the best goods.” With that said, we’ll be out the door from our apartment in Austin to secure front row seat and to indulge in what will without a doubt be some of the best ribs, pork, and party, too, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on October 30.
Annually sponsored by Texas Monthly, the “TMBBQ Fest” hosts 27 of their top 50 BBQ joints in the world. Plus, there will be pouring some of the best of the brews and sprits from Shiner Beer and Legacy Whisky. Don’t think this is just for adults as there will be plenty for the kids to do with interactive games presented by sponsors Texas A & M, YETI Coolers, Central Market, and Nationwide Insurance.
To top it all off, Santiago Jimenez, Jr. and Warren Hood will perform throughout the event all day long.
