Ringo Deathstarr Setlist

Austin shoegazing band Ringo Deathstarr just came through town at the Turf Club last Wednesday, July 29th.
Opening up the show was Brilliant Beast, featuring siblings Hannah and Jordan (who was apparently a massive Morrissey fan). They recently released a split EP with fellow Minneapolis band Fury Things, but they did mentioned that they have new songs ... currently in the middle of mixing it, but should be available in early Fall (and probably will be released by Guilt Ridden Pop).
Hannah was pulling double duty, as she also played in Vats, but as of July 31st, they've decided to changed their name to The Cult of Lip.
I know their setlist shows eight songs, but in reality, I believe they only played six songs because the singer admitted, "I still can't read the set list."
All these bands, including trio Ringo Deathstarr (guitarist Elliott Frazier, bassist Alex Gehring, and drummer Daniel Coborn) were heavily influenced by My Bloody Valentine or The Jesus and Mary Chain. In the case of Ringo, I can also hear similarities to BRMC... so if you like those bands, you'll find a lot to love with Ringo Deathstarr.
Ringo Deathstarr requested the lights to be turned down to dark blood red... so photos didn't turn out so great. Everyone who came to the show knew the band, and if the band didn't know the audience, they made themselves available to meet and greet everyone who wanted to say hi.
The first part of their set had familiar songs, "Kaleidoscope" and "Fifteen", etc., but the second half of their set was basically new songs, which Alex said was going to be on a forthcoming album, available in December 2015.
Although the new songs were unfamiliar to fans, that still did not keep them from trying to mosh to their latter songs.
The band played about an hour of music and we thought they were coming back for the encore, but instead, the show was cut a little short.
Looking forward to hearing more of Ringo Deathstarr's upcoming album... in the meantime, if you live in Austin, check out some of their upcoming show - including Alex's birthday party this August 6th.
