Experimental rockers Akron/Family and Warpaint put on quite a performance last night at The Parish in Austin, TX. Opening up the show, LA's recently signed Warpaint, a female quartet, took the audience on a trip into psychedelia as showcased by “Set Your Arms Down.” Akron/Family joined in on percussion during the song before they took the stage, and their unique, folk-inspired style got the audience revved up and moving, which was somewhat surprising considering hipsters abounded. Check out a short clip of “Phenomena” and the set closer “Happy Birthday,” sung for Warpaint drummer, Stella Mozgawa, and celebrated with an on-stage piñata bashing.
