Happy Friday ATX! š¤ Itās National Hug a Drummer Day! Okayā¦ Iāll take it š
So weāre still recovering from weekend 1 of ACL and we had a hell of a time but itās time for us to lock in because Kiana and I are taking over Inn Cahoots again tonight.
She DJs at IYKYK rooftop 7-10p through sunset, then my band starts playing Austin Garden at 9 and we go all the way ātil midnightā¦ so if youāre not going to ACLā¦ come vibe with us!
Reminder. Weāre throwing our first Happy Friday ATX Event called GATHER. A DJ Powered Wellness Event, and we couldnāt be more excited. Use this promo code āhfatxfamā for 50% discount at checkout. We canāt wait to see you there! HEREāS THE LINK!
Anyways letās jump into things! Hereās your meme for this week!
Best thing we ate this weekā¦ I feel like the best way to use this segment this week is to talk about a few of our favorite bites at ACL. There are so many great options, and some tips we maybe hadnāt thought about before last weekend. Like donāt order messy wings in a place without a proper sink to wash your hands. (you were delicious OKO but it was a terrible idea for a festivalā¦š)
Some of my favorites were KG smoked lamb chops, the Kokos Bavarian fries that I have thought about ever since I had them at a Bad Bunny show at Moody Centerā¦ the Gati Ice Cream Brownie Sundae, the Kokos Bavarian Pretzel, Four Brothers Empanadas, and honestly the list goes on and on. Theyāre showcasing some of Austinās best food to festival visitors and itās one of my favorite things about ACL.
Last tip Iāll give you isā¦ donāt intentionally go to the shortest lines. The food has probably been sitting out for awhile and itās noticably less fresh. Lines are part of ACL, and the food vendors with the longest lines will also have the freshest food. Donāt be like me and spend $50 dollars on some stale french fries and a soggy brisket crunch wrap (CM Smokehouse š).
And if you donāt make it to ACL, all of these restaurants have permanent storefronts you can visit outside of the festival.

Most fun we had this weekā¦ Well obviously ACLā¦ If youāre not going you can skip thisā¦ but if you want some must see acts here is my list:
Finneas and Ashe presents: The Favors - so musical. This is the personal project of Billie Eilishās older brother Finneas who has produced 90% of her music, and Ashlyn Rae Willson (Ashe) and holy sh*t. This set knocked my socks off from beginning to end. They were all singing and passing around instruments and they set the bar so high on day 1. Donāt miss them on Friday if youāre out there.
Cage the Elephant - Iāve always loved them, but jeez if Finneas and Ashe set the bar, Cage the Elephant raised it. They were so tight. They rocked out so much harder than I expected but stayed so true to the records.
The Dare - I only knew his hit song Girls before his setā¦ but left a fan of so much of his music. He absolutely killed it, his synth sounds were soul-rattling. For one dude on stage with a synth and a mixerā¦ impressive.
LP Giobbi - a full on rave in the Titos tent. If if colorful-dancey-edm is your thing, this is a must.
DJO - incredible energy. He gave it everything and it was awesome. His band was also phenomenal. One of my favorite sets of the weekend.
Disco Lines - while everyone is obsessing over John Summitā¦ real ones knowā¦ from a musical perspective, this was the DJ set of the weekend. Far more originals. Far less remixes. Lots of dancing.
Phantogram - ā¦itās PHANTOGRAM. Iāve never seen this stage packed like it was this weekend.
I wouldāve LOVED to see Passion Pit but whoever put them on Titos mustāve been smoking cr*ck because that didnāt work at all.
All in all this was one of my favorite ACLs in a while. Say what you want about the lineup. But go try to see all of those acts (and the others i didnāt even mention) individually and tell me how much it costs you.
