Austin Sound

If you have a camera, we recommend you keep it away from the Bright Light Social Hour. At least based on their video for their new single “Back and Forth,” the spazzy boys in the band will scream at, molest, and generally do untoward things to your lens. We feel kinda bad for the video director Jon Salmon, but who knows, maybe he liked it. After all, they do look good in drag! The quartet recently just brought their brand of Franz Ferdinand meets funk revue rock to the Austin City Limits Fest, courtesy of their winning the coveted Sound and the Jury competition. If you missed them on the big time stage, though, you can catch back up with them as they crash back down to the lonely land of spattered local notoriety with a Halloween show at the Mohawk on Wednesday, October 28. It should actually be a pretty damn crazy event, as not only will the BLSH be going nuts, but their bringing along the Black and White Years to help raise some hell as well. Check out the video for “Back and Forth” below, and start planning your costume accordingly.
