The second weekend of the 2017 Austin City Limits Festival continued on Saturday (10/14), pretty much just like it did the Saturday before, with headlining sets from Chance the Rapper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, and Spoon, plus performances by Angel Olsen, The Black Angels, Tove Lo (who flashed the crowd as she's done before)...

FJM's episode of ACLTV will air early next year, but he'll be back in Texas for shows this fall.

The last time Robert Smith & Co. were in Austin was 2013's ACL Festival.  They are on tour now and on 5/13 they played Frank Erwin Center for three hours: 33 songs covering 37 years - including 4 encores.  It was Friday, and Austin was in love with The Cure.  ...

Levitation was cancelled, but all hasn't been lost. Make-up shows popped up quickly, and have been selling-out just as quickly. That includes Animal Collective at Emo's with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith on 4/30. More pictures from the show below in this post...

It had been a tough week for music with the unexpected passing of Prince the day before, in particular for both Duran Duran and Nile who both had relationships with him...
