We were at Plush last night (617 Red River St, near 7th) for the "Yeast by Sweet Beast Experimental Music Fest" and heard some really good live ambient music by Carlos Villarreal along with visuals by Paul Baker.

Plush has a very good but not too overpowering sound system, and the people that run the place are into sound - unlike a lot of the venues this week where there aren't enough sound guys to go around and many of the smaller clubs have sub-standard sound.

Come out tonight to Night Two of (617 Red River St., Austin, TX). Ralph White and Aurora Plastics Company headline.

Tuesday night the festivities move from the downtown area to the Salvage Vanguard Theatre (2803 Manor Road) and include a sound installation by Alex Keller in the outer gallery.

More about Yeast by Sweet Beast Experimental Music Fest 2008 on MySpace, and a review from Austin 360.

There is more electronic music scheduled throughout the week at Plush, so if you're burned out on guitars and want some synth sounds, Plush or Karma (on the other end of downtown, 119 W 8th Street, a block from Congress)
