Who says the City dies down over the summer? The live music and libations are kickin’ at the W Austin as we present the July installment of Living Room Live featuring the Soldier Thread and the Lovely Sparrows.
More about the Soldier Thread…
The Soldier Thread is an indie-pop quartet hailing from Austin, Texas. Patched together in late 2007, the ensemble has already undergone sweeping adjustments in style. Todd Abels (guitar, keyboard, backup vocals) and Justin McHugh (keyboard, bass) set out from ambient origins to weave in the missing pieces. Close ties to Patricia Lynn (lead vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Drew Vandiver (drums) allowed for an easy joining of loose ends. The integration of producer Dwight Baker served as the anchor stitch to complete the composite the group currently finds themselves in.

More about the Lovely Sparrows…Formed in 2005 by singer/songwriter Shawn Jones (Something Happened, Larks & Owls) and longtime friend and collaborator Jason Cooper (Empty Suits, Larks & Owls), The Lovely Sparrows is the culmination of over a decade of slugging it out in the southwestern indie rock circuit. The earliest incarnation of the band, which can be heard on 2005′s self-released Take Your Hats Off You Godless Bastards 7″, reveled in Pavement and Bob Pollard-style laconic fuzz pop.
