Die Spitz

etix Die 6200901764580030

This Event is All Ages   When the Venn diagram of passion, friendship, identity, and artistry collide, it can feel as if fighting words are spitting from your veins. And as postmodern society crumbles, Die Spitz giddily bounce between a dozen different ways to push back. If the world of rock music were an ice cream shop, the Austin quartet have sampled each flavor, flipped the freezer over, and started dancing with the employees they helped unionize. On their debut album, Something to Consume (due Sept 12 via Third Man Records), Ava Schrobilgen, Chloe De St. Aubin, Eleanor Livingston, and Kate Halter fight against the inescapable consumption that surrounds life. “There’s a political side to it, but addiction and love can also be all-consuming,” Livingston says. And as the foursome trade off instruments, swapping songwriting and vocal duties, and generating powerful songwriting in concussive bursts, Die Spitz have created their own little pocket of the world where we can all stand on the edge together.   That unity comes in part from the deep bonds between the 22-year-olds. All four are Austin natives, with Schrobilgen and Livingston having met in preschool, befriending Halter in middle school, and immediately bringing De St. Aubin into their inner circle when they formed the band in 2022. The group was initially just looking to find reasons to hang out more often and decided to start a band after a late-night viewing of the Mötley Crüe movie The Dirt. Though they’ve only been playing together a few years (not to mention Halter only learning to play bass to start the band), Something to Consume shows a maturity and technical prowess always wielded in service of their profound friendship.   Listed ticket price is inclusive of all online fees.

Alex Skolnick Trio

etix

This Event is All Ages “PROVE YOU’RE NOT A ROBOT” (2025/MoonJune Records) is the sixth LP by Brooklyn based Alex Skolnick Trio (AST).  The album’s title has multiple meanings. On the one hand, it reflects the effort to hold onto our collective humanity in an era of increasing reliance on technology. Secondly, it represents the notion that the process of direct human interaction – particularly music that captures inspired improvisations and compositions, such as those heard on this LP – cannot be replaced with AI (which, as of this writing, is the latest and most disruptive development in tech). Additionally, the title refers to our time of unprecedented political polarization coupled by mass addiction to social media and people who exhibit robot-like behavior. Finally, it is a phrase that should be all too familiar to anyone who’s ever forgotten their online password, a situation humorously captured in the video for the title track (directed by Frankie Fulleda and featuring a cameo by the album’s photographer, Lamb of God vocalist D. Randall Blythe).  Beginning in the early 2000’s, AST has become known for catapulting the jazz guitar trio format into new and interesting territory. With an unconventionally wide fluidity of diverse styles (tango, calypso, Western swing, electronica, Prince-inspired funk, to name just a few), the trio gained notoriety for it’s quirky but respectful arrangements of songs previously unmined by improvisers, including by the likes of Aerosmith, Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne and Kiss.  Conceived as a sharp three-piece ensemble uniquely inspired by the musical wanderings of Alex Skolnick, world-renowned lead guitarist and founding member of Testament, one of the most influential metal/thrash bands of all time. Yet those unaware of Testament are shocked by his backstory when hearing AST – or Alex’s work with PAKT featuring Percy Jones (Brand X/Brian Eno), Stuart Hamm (Steve Vai/Joe Satriani) – as his guitar work defies the odds of most with guitarists with similarly metallic associations. He also has the profound distinction of being one of the more successful breakout individual students of uber-guitar-hero Joe Satriani. Along with Charlie Hunter, Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Larry Lalonde (Primus).  Since the debut, AST had had an entire Jazz notes column in Billboard, garnered 4 ½ stars by Downbeat, reviewed by Jazziz, The Village Voice and has charted on the JazzWeek radio charts. Apple Music frequently features the group in its Spectrum playlist, with notable other jazz crossover artists such as Snarky Puppy, Mike Stern and Marcus Miller. Most recently the Trio enjoyed its status amongst the greats as an NPR Jazz Daily Pick feature. A perfect description comes in the form of a review by Downbeat journalist Bill Milkowski (well known for his bio on Jaco Pastorious Jaco):   “Skolnick runs the guitaristic gamut from lush chord melodies to Wes Montgomery-style octaves to screaming Sonny Sharrock-esque skronking” (Jan 2017). Line-Up: Alex Skolnick (Testament, Stu Hamm, PAKT, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Jane Getter Premonition):  GUITAR Matt Zebroski:  DRUMS Nathan Peck (Maynard Ferguson, Maria Maldaur, Richard Cheese):  BASS Listed ticket price is inclusive of all online fees.All sales are final, please review before purchasing.
