101X the Next Big Thing Presents Oliver Future/Pudge Zeppelin w/ PJ and the Bear (...
Sat. 08/16 | 9:00PM @ Emo's (Downtown)

Their day job involves playing hip spaces like L.A.’s Viper Room in the Britpop-influenced outfit Oliver Future, but the four well-fed lads of Pudge Zeppelin obviously know which side their bread is buttered on, because their lark of a side project is often included as a double package. A tongue-in-cheek—but not unfaithful—tribute to Page, Plant & Co., Pudge delivers a medley of the group’s “coolest songs ever,” with an impressive repertoire that changes from gig to gig (though you’re bound to hear “Stairway”) and chops that make them convincing stand-ins, plus a few extra pounds.

Occupying the same torn-and-frayed space of “alt-country” as Wilco, Austin’s The Come Latelys specialize in the sort of emotions most folks try to drown in the bottle. Instead, the local quintet sets them to music on its recent debut EP, Essential—a name that, along with its faux-“vintage album” cover, suggests the sort of AOR ambitions contained within—surrounding Michael Harmeier’s perpetually wounded vocals with soothing licks of piano and organ. Opener Deadman, led by recent Austin transplant Steven Collins, couches its spooky, somber folk in swirls of shoegaze textures, while The Astronaut Suit follows the smacked-out blues blueprint of groups like Spiritualized.
