Young the Giant played two nights of sold out shows at Stubb’s. Their newest album “Home of the Strange” took center stage, but they made sure to show love to classics from their first album, like “Cough Syrup” and “Apartment.”

On Thursday night, established folk punkers AJJ played the outdoor stage at Mohawk.

The fog slowly cleared, hushing conversations and revealing a dimly lit figure on the stage of Emo’s Austin. The sea of attendees craned their necks to see if this figure was the promised opener or Nicolas Jaar himself.

California quintet the Neighbourhood returned to Austin on Tuesday to play at Stubb’s, in support of their latest album, 2015’s “Wiped Out!”
