Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, Jet and Kasabian are all "big" over here.

By big I mean big whores with shit music that is about as bad as it gets.

Looks like a fucking class festival apart from those talentless pricks.

Pong
This Austin quintet extends from the long and loud history of Ed Hall, one of the city’s most popular post-punk bands. That band called it quits in 1996, but Pong takes the core trio of guitarist Gary Chester, bass player Larry Strub and drummer Lyman Hardy adds keyboard player Shane Shelton and guitarist Jason Craig from such other Austin faves as the Pocket FishRmen and Moist Fist. This makes Pong an Austin indie-rock scene supergroup of sorts, but the hybrid band quickly developed its own distinct identity by splicing the punk rock power of Ed Hall with touches of hip-hop, metal, electronic and experimental music and even some pop harmonies. Pong’s latest release, Bubble City, displays a “giant leap forward for these Austin scene vets, overflowing with disco drums, mirror-ball grooves and weird harmonies,” observes the Austin American-Statesman.

Kelley Hunt is quite good, been listening to her stuff a fair bit lately. I also have a couple things by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band that are enjoyable.

I am guessing it is all because of the number of touring acts that they had to fit in on a pre-scheduled date/time. :(
