Holiday parties and shopping may be taking up more of our time as we dive headlong into December, but don\u2019t let that distract from the great music coming our way. Let\u2019s take a peek.<\/p>\n

Thursday, Dec. 11<\/p>\n

ST 37, Hickoids, The Manson Family Band<\/p>\n

ST 37 are Texas noise-rock royalty, and the group\u2019s 1987 vintage means it\u2019s been around longer than some of its fans. For the uninitiated, the band\u2019s sound draws on sonically provocative acts ranging from Austin\u2019s Butthole Surfers and 13th Floor Elevators to Krautrock luminaries Can. Indeed, drummer Lisa Cameron played with Roky Erickson before joining ST 37 and is now a preeminent practitioner of improv music. $10, 8 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerosesa.com. \u2014\u00a0Bill Baird<\/p>\n

Kansas<\/p>\n

Casual fans know Kansas\u2019 \u201cCarry On Wayward Son\u201d for its continued dominance on classic-rock radio and \u201cDust In The Wind,\u201d which remains a constant in pop culture thanks to its use in movies such as Old School. But the band forges ahead in creating new sounds, as evidenced by a couple of solid releases over the past decade. $72.59-$224.50, 7:30 p.m., Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-5700, majesticempire.com. \u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/p>\n

Friday, Dec. 12<\/p>\n

Vanita Leo, DJ Lucha, DJ LA Pacha<\/p>\n

This showcase is a third-anniversary celebration for Homegrown record label Vinilious, which focuses on Latinx and female-fronted musical acts from across the globe. A labor of love by founders Celeste Cadena and Kristen Ibarra, Vinilious has undertaken the arduous task of independent promotion and bringing acts from across the globe to the Alamo City. Cumbia-pop princess Vanita Leo, DJ Lucha (Luz Elena Mendoza from Y La Bamba) and DJ La Pacha will bring the party atmosphere. $10, 7 p.m., Lighthouse Lounge, 1016 Cincinnatti Ave., instagram.com\/thelighthouselounge. \u2014 BB<\/p>\n

Sat, Dec. 13<\/p>\n

The Lemonheads, Erin Rae<\/p>\n

Evan Dando and the Lemonheads are touring behind the release of Love Chant, their first new album in 19 years. Best known for their catchy cover of Simon & Garfunkel\u2019s \u201cMrs. Robinson\u201d and the groovy ballad \u201cInto Your Arms,\u201d the group was a \u201990s alt-rock dynamo. Fittingly, the new album features collaborations with peers from the era, including J. Mascis and Juilana Hatfield. $34.79, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., papertigersatx.com. \u2014 DC<\/p>\n

The Point, Combo Cosmico, DJ set by Double Vision<\/p>\n

The Point is one of the more astonishing bands active in Austin right now, fusing Turkish psychedelia, Saharan guitar music, cumbia, Thai funk and jam band sensibilities. The act\u2019s new album Maldito Animal further showcases this eclectic synthesis the members call the \u201cuniversal beat.\u201d Often rocking a militant beret in concert, you could say organist Joe Roddy has music in his blood as the son of Austin rockabilly and roots music mainstay Ted Roddy. Guitarist Jack Montesinos was also brought up in the city\u2019s blues scene. Dubbed \u201chomegrown prodigy rockers\u201d by the Austin Chronicle, Roddy and Montesino met in middle school jazz band class and started jamming after school but didn\u2019t become a trio until they encountered French drummer Nico Leophonte, who introduced elements of Algerian and West African music to the group. Rounding out Saturday\u2019s lineup is Combo C\u00f3smico, a spaced-out San Antonio band that explores cumbia\u2019s African roots. The night is further complimented by eclectic selectors Double Vision on the ones and twos. $14.91, 9 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerosesa.com. \u2014\u00a0Stephanie Koithan<\/p>\n
