AA-S Best Bet – ‘Love, Janis’:
“Love, Janis” opens tonight at the Long Center. The Broadway-style show depicts the life of iconic musician Janis Joplin, beginning with her departure from her hometown of Port Arthur for San Francisco, to auditions and her musical career through her songs and the letters she wrote home to her family. The musical mixes Joplin’s songs and words from her letters and interviews to give the audience a candid view of the rock star. It runs until Sunday. A portion of ticket sales benefits the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians and Equality Texas.

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.

Underground rapper Busdriver has never quite found his niche, which used to be his greatest strength—his cerebral, acrobatic lyricism challenged hip-hop conventions even when he pandered to audiences with appeals to crossover success. Having scored notoriety only among the hipster intelligentsia, however, Busdriver seems to be picking a fight with his most difficult release, 2007’s RoadKillOvercoat, on which he lashes out against “art-school kids” and “yuppie scum.” Despite its acidity, RoadKillOvercoat is a fascinating panoply of styles that sounds like nothing else out there—which means the art-school kids will love it, whether he likes it or not.

WE GOT PRIDE! YOU GOT PRIDE! Wow. No more waiting for the heat of Pride to come. ‘Tis upon us. Like the neighbor’s dog. Not only will the shores be scorching with queer after queer after darling-lovely queer, but the lineup will keep the masses packed to the front of the stage. Gyratin’. Have a look: Meshell Ndegeocello, Pansy Division, Los Bad Apples, Amy Cook, Run of the Mill, Hedda Layne, Flamin’ Desire, and Kings N Things. All of these great acts will have your bean thumping and your visor cocked. This year’s Pride is bigger and better, the biggest and best, we predict. (But bigger and better means more help needed on all fronts. So, if you’d like to volunteer, call them now. Please.) It’s a festival to remember, with so many booths of your favorite local homo-friendlies (come visit your friends at The Gay Place and pick up some free Chrondoms, Twinkies, and more!), so many good foods to stuff yer face-style, so many good imbibe-ments to get you just loose enough to ask her/him/z … to dance. Horizontally. It’s on. Someone call Donkey Kong. Sat., June 14, noon. Auditorium Shores, South First at Lady Bird Lake, 474-5475, 474-4422. $15 ($10, advance). info@austinprideparade.org, marianne@equalitytexas.org www.pridetexas.org, www.austinprideparade.org (The Gay Place) More at Austin Chronicle.com
