If you've seen Ume live, you've probably been temporarily transfixed by singer/guitarist Lauren Larson's physical presence. A low purr turns into a gruff growl, and once she really gets going, pummeling her guitar and letting the unnnnhhh into her voice, her body and head seem to unhinge, and her blond hair whirls in dizzying circles. Possession is an understatement. Rounded out by drummer Jeff Barrera and husband/bassist Eric Larson, the trio balances vertiginously on the loud-quiet-loud dynamic, and it makes for a wham-bam of a live show. - Audra Schroeder (Austin Chronicle, Nov 9 2007)

Saturday night of South by Southwest 08, Downtown patrons filed into Cedar Street Courtyard for a casual drink. Within minutes, A Place to Bury Strangers cleared the place with an absolutely deafening set of Joy Division-inspired shoegaze from last year’s self-titled debut. The effect was unintentional. Guitarist/singer Oliver Ackermann custom-designs the NYC-based trio’s sonic effects, but beneath the grating layers of distortion are bona fide pop songs. Locals the Boxing Lesson and Ume open. Earplugs required. – Austin Powell

The symbiotic relationship between Austin’s burgeoning fashion scene and its forward-thinking bands continues with this runway-cum-rock show headlined by local designersLoves Mariessa, Knoxy, Model Citizen, Amy Cline Jewelry. ME-TV video jockey J.J. hosts a glamour-soaked night of pretty young things in barely there ensembles, backed up by pulse-quickening beats from DJ Rubix and three of the chicest groups in town: The Always Already’s streamlined new wave is the little black dress that never goes out of style; Ume’s torn and repurposed rags of discordant guitar are the aural equivalent of Vivienne Westwood; and The Black And White Years’ eye-catching mix of nervy art-funk and outsized dance anthems is the must-have of the season. Odds are even you’ll come out looking better than before.
