he Aussie/Brit band Kelsy Karter and the Heroines stormed into Texas—literally, thanks to severe weather in Dallas on night one of their three-city stop of The Pleasure Tour. I caught up with them on their Austin date at Antone's. Kelsy brought along opener Grace McKagan, who is no stranger to the stage. She’s been performing since she was 15 and is probably best known as the frontwoman for the punk-grunge band The Pink Slips. Grace and her solo band took the stage promptly at 8 p.m.

he Little Miss Nasty brought their heart racing Dead Dollz tour to Texas for a 5 city stop. I caught their first stop in Austin, TX Thursday April 30th at Come And Take It Live. The evening's first opener was local rock sensation Mikky & The Doom. Lead Singer, song writer, and founder Mikky Rib has a special blend of catchy pop-rock music with spicy lyrics. Mikky’s music is only rivaled by her stage presence and performance.
