Free music? Because nothing in life is actually free, especially not the 'Miley Cyrus' clone performing at this shitshow. Brought to you by some rich guy with an ego. Line up, normies!

Watch Al West sing about his cowboy hat, DJ Vee Vee scratch their armpits, Ghost Wolves howl at the moon, and Islands of Pear folkin' mumble. Loteria! You need a diversity visa to get into that. What the hell is Middle Satire? Perreo Club, where chaps get lap dances from their moms. And Sunspite shines bright like a flashlight in their eyes.

Hot Summer Nights: Where the Local Losers Gather

The Red River Cultural District, in a futile attempt to infuse life into Austin's dying music scene, is rounding up 14 desperate downtown venues for a three-night orgy of mediocre music and cringe-worthy karaoke.

Kicking off on July 18, this tragic Hot Summer Nights festival will unleash a torrent of untalented artists and their delusional followers onto the unfortunate streets of Austin. And the best part? Entry is free, because who would pay to endure this torture?

Participating venues include the usual hipster haunts: Cheer Up Charlies, Elysium, and Mohawk, along with Stubb's Bar-B-Q, which will sully its once-great name by hosting a sanctimonious "gospel brunch" on Sunday. Valhalla, a faux-metal dive bar, will be ground zero for neckbeards and their neck tattoos.

But wait, there's more! The festival also features a night market, because what says talentless hipster nonsense like overpriced homemade soy candles and "vintage" clothing that should've stayed in the past? And let's not forget the daytime fitness and lifestyle programming at Waterloo Park, where the privileged poseurs will flaunt their yoga pants and organic smoothies.

Without further ado, let's meet the "performers":

  • Al West: Sounds like he should be a cowboy, but he's probably just another whiny singer-songwriter with a guitar and a trust fund.
  • Alexalone: Edgy name, bro. Go cry about your problems alone in your room like a true incel.
  • Ampersand: This band is probably as unnecessary as the symbol they're named after.
  • Artless Jab: Their music is definitely a jab to the ears, and a blatant assault on art itself.
  • Arya: A girl? In a band? Is she going to sing about her periods and how mean boys are? Hard pass.
  • Banged Out: Either a metal band or an STD support group.
  • BB Ding & Hexxxgf: BB Ding sounds like the noise my mom's car makes when she backs into something. Hexxxgf is probably his Cathy with a neck tattoo.
  • And the list goes on... with a medley of forgettable names and untalented "artists" who will subject innocent bystanders to their aural diarrhea.

If you're still reading this, you're either a masochist or have no life (or both). In any case, beware: Hot Summer Nights is coming, and the incel army is ready to roast.
