We love Almost There Records’ annual hoot nights. They always offer an amazing range of music from some of Austin’s best bands, both new and established. This year’s hoot promises to be twice as nice with a two night extravaganza of Paul McCartney and John Lennon tunes. We hear they had a few hits back in the day. The hooting begins this Friday, December 12 at the Parish with McCartney songs (extra points for anyone covering Fireman tunes), and continues on Saturday again at the Parish with a tribute to Lennon. Cover is $8 and doors open at 9:00pm. Jump below for a list of bands performing each night and the songs they’ll be covering.
