Indie pop concert by Ms. Cool at Girl Guitar, Austin, pairing crunchy guitars with nostalgic synth.
Ms. Cool plays Girl Guitar this Saturday, August 29, in South Austin. It's a solo bill, with Ms. Cool as the only act on the program, and the show is presented by Girl Guitar.
If you haven't heard the name before, here's the best way to get a handle on the sound: Ms. Cool pairs crunchy guitars with nostalgic synth to fuse indie rock with a dash of new-wave weird. It's a combination that pulls from two different directions at once—the grit of a guitar and the synthetic, slightly off-kilter textures of a synth—and the lyrics lean into identity and modern love. That new-wave side is where the 'weird' comes in, so it's not just straightforward indie pop; there's a bit of a twist to it.

The show is presented by Girl Guitar, which is the same name as the venue. It's a Saturday afternoon set, so it's one of those things you can catch before the evening really gets going. The music runs from 3 PM to 5 PM, and it's $5 at the door. You'll find it at 8701 S. 1st St., Building 2, Suite 220, in the 78748 zip code—deep in South Austin, so give yourself a little time to get down there if you're coming from the north side of town.
