New music, not ACL
Oh, we know, we know — there’s Austin City Limits Festival this weekend. There’s also other kinds of new live music happening this weekend too, tho.
On Sunday, intrepid new music presenting group Church of the Friendly Ghost hosts Owen Weaver, The Biographers and Derek Johnson at the Salvage Vanguard Theater in a concert featuring new music by Austin composers Steve Snowden and Graham Reynolds, among others.
Weaver, an adventurous percussionist and former Austinite now in NYC, returns to town to play Reynolds’ piece composed for wooden planks, circular saw blades, kitchen sink strainers and electronics. Weaver will also play works by Snowden — who won the Austin Critics’ Table Award last year for Best Original Composition — as well as music by Tristan Perich and Javier Alvarez.
Also on the program: Ambient drone music by Derek Rogers and the folk-pop sounds of The Biographers.
Doors at 8 p.m. Tix are just $5. See www.salvagevanguard.com for directions to the venue.
