TINA PIRANHA

9.16 8PM

Tina Piranha is an upbeat and high-energy cinematic soul band from Austin, Texas. Drawing as it does upon a unique assortment of influences, including Turkish psych rock, Ethiopian Jazz, and 60s Mediterranean soundtracks, the band defies easy categorization. Take a trip through Tina Piranha's catalogue and you'll understand why the eight-piece sonic juggernaut has been compared to Budos Band, Les Baxter, Janko Nilovic, Ennio Morricone, and others.

Tina Piranha released five singles and an EP throughout 2022, all of which were recorded and mixed at Lechehouse Music by Grammy Award-winning guitarist and songwriter, Beto Martinez (Brownout, Grupo Phantasma, Money Chicha, Los Sundowns, and Carmelo Haze). “Emperor's Head, Corner Pocket” was Tina Piranha’s fifth single release since the beginning of 2023, preceded by "My Last Duke," "Duty's Austere and Lonely Offices," "Force Majeur," and "A Budding Interest in Treason," all of which were recorded and mixed at The Ice Cream Factory by Matt Parmenter (Quiet Company). "A Budding Interest in Treason" was featured on the KUTX "Song of the Day" segment upon its release in May, 2023. Be on the lookout for the band’s single, “Exit Wound,” scheduled for release August 4th, 2023.

Tina Piranha’s lineup includes Rachel Fuhrer (drums), Francis McGrath (keys), Keith McManus (bass), Taylor McCarrey (guitar), Leo Vasquez (percussion), Justin Dunlap (trombone), Austin Johanning (trumpet), and Marc Adams (bari sax).

THE POINT

9.16 6PM

The Point is Jack Montesinos and Joe Roddy, two young native Austinites drawing musical inspiration from all around the world, creating a bastard child gumbo of groove based sound. From hints of cumbia and Anatolian rock to influences of Eastern Asia and desert blues, all of this is wrapped up in a blanket of the American roots which taught the two to play. Instrumentation is random, and can differ from night to night.
