Spoon, Austin’s most esteemed rock ambassadors, have released ten albums to date including a string of five straight top 10 records: Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007), Transference (2010), They Want My Soul (2014), Hot Thoughts (2017), and Lucifer on the Sofa (2022). 

Lucifer on the Sofa earned the band its first-ever GRAMMY nomination (Best Rock Album) and was praised by Rolling Stone as "The best thing they’ve ever done.” 

Hailed by TIME as “one of the greatest American rock bands”, Spoon topped Metacritic’s chart as the single most critically acclaimed band of the aughts. 

In 2019, Spoon released Everything Hits At Once: The Best of Spoon, which was praised by NPR as a “convincing argument for Spoon being one of their era's most distinctive and excellent rock bands.” That same year, Fender released the Britt Daniel Signature Telecaster Thinline as part of their artist signature electric guitar series – highlighting the enduring influence of Daniel’s precision-punk style that has helped fuel Spoon to become what the Guardian calls ‘one of the finest bands of their generation.’

Sabrina Ellis and Andrew Cashen of A Giant Dog have been making music together since high school. The two reconvened in Austin and started A Giant Dog (2008). Coming of age together, the writing duo communicates with near telepathy. 

A Giant Dog became synonymous with fierce, volatile performance.  They became known locally for their wild audience, trust-falling off the stage, onto each other, leaving the club in shambles, and doing it again at the after-party. A band born underground, and thriving underground, the high-impact outfit grew a following who prefer their music intense, and unknown. 

When A Giant Dog signed with Merge, the monster saw a bit of daylight. Pitchfork reviewed their 2016 album Pile at 8.2, stating, “Every track is a similar mix of certain danger and uncertain asylum (Pat Healy).” 

Austin Chronicle’s Kevin Curtin hailed, “...anthems of restless spirits who drink love and life from the same red plastic cup.”  

The subsequent years would be spent in a flurry of national and international touring and the release of their albums Fight, Bone, Pile, and Toy.  In 2023 AGD proudly released their 5th album, Bite.
