Live music preview: Rival Waves to drop debut album Friday at Empire Control Room

Austin rock band Rival Waves are dropping their first full-length album, Transducer this Friday, August 10 at Empire Control Room. The group was voted Artist of the Month by The Deli Austin readers in July. The band recently provided support for Young Rising Sons at 3TEN Austin at ACL Live. Cosmic Clash Presents even had the Joel De La Garza-led act on one of our bills before they unfortunately had to bow out last minute. We’re happy to have a hand in announcing their record release this week as a consolation prize. As a bonus, one of our local favorites, Darkbird perform with Midcentury rounding out the bill. It’ll be an energizing night of rock n roll for local music fans.

Interview: Austin singer Robynn Shayne dropped a true country record today

Austin singer-songwriter Robynn Shayne uses a hashtag to promote her work.  It’s called #HustleWithGrace.  When asked about the meaning behind this tag she explained that it’s about positive flow, not being a jerk or trying to step on anyone while making your dreams happen.  It’s about artists helping other artists rise to the top.  To the top is where Robynn is headed.  The Cosmic Clash recently sat down with Robynn at  Detroit style pizza-pie joint VIA 313  in Austin to discuss her latest album, Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights.  This is Robynn’s third release, after her self-titled debut and a sophomore album Rebel Child.
