Zookeeper is the name Chris Simpson has chosen for whatever new musical endeavors he is undertaking. Chris Simpson used to be that guy in Mineral and The Gloria Record. Chris Simpson might have considered using his own name for his new music, but there is already a pretty amazing Christian R&B guy using the moniker. Chris Simpson, the Christian R&B guy's records can be found at pretty much any internet music site. Zookeeper currently doesn't have any records, but please enjoy these works in progress. Thank you for your time.

Bridging dissonance and joy, Chris Simpson’s conglomerate Zookeeper mingles with Austin sixpiece/Belle City Pop! labelmates Sad Accordions. Simpson (Gloria Record, Mineral) demolished the walls of songwriting on Zookeeper’s 2007 debut LP, Becoming All Things, and Sad Accordions’ Slint-meets-Wilco slow burn translates into A Bad Year for the Sharons. Locals Loxsly, Bill Baird’s Sunset, Frank Smith, and Wine & Revolution join in on the summer fun. – Darcie Stevensmore at austinchronicle.com

Tue. 04/10 | 10:00PM @ Emo's (Downtown)
Named after the small town located between Aaron Espinoza’s hometown of Fresno and his band’s current headquarters in L.A., Earlimart has altered its lineup and sound since issuing its debut in 1999. But the band—which is now down to Espinoza and Ariana Murray—has hit its stride since its ode to late friend Elliott Smith, 2004’s Treble And Tremble, whose instrumentation seemed influenced by both Smith and co-producer Jim Fairchild’s old band, Grandaddy. Earlimart put out the well-received Mentor Tormentor last August, and now the duo is back with the even better Hymn And Her, whose best songs—especially the dreamy “Time For Yourself”—are the ones featuring Murray on lead vocals. Things can get a little snoozy in this land of subdued indie rock, but the overall beauty is easy to get lost in. Opening: Zookeeper, {{{Sunset}}}. (Earlimart also plays an in-store at Waterloo Records at 5 p.m.)
