Friday 4/29, The Parish
The guys from Okkervil River will soon be home from their tour with The Decemberists (and what a tour it was). And they’ll be right back on the road before long, this time with Los Angeles based indie-act Earlimart. And you better catch a show before they leave. They will be celebrating the recent (April 5) release of their new album Black Sheep Boy at The Parish on Sixth Street. Earlimart will be there as well to kick off their tour right here in Austin, so it should be a good show.

Advance tickets go for $10, a marginal discount off the $12 door price. Doors at 9pm, show at 10.

If you havn’t attended any screenings of the excellent Martin Scorsese film series at the beautiful (almost sexual) Paramount Theatre then it may upset you to learn that it is nearly over. It’s not too late to catch Raging Bull or Goodfellas though, with screenings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And we know those are the only ones you wanted to see anyway.

If you thought the Scorsese retrospective was cool, you may be pumped about the Paramount’s upcoming Bergman retrospective in May; Ten of the director’s best films screened under the roof of one of the best places in the world to take in a movie. Seven of these films are brand new 35mm prints. You gotta love the Paramount. Check out their website for a schedule.
