BOOM TOWN

Named after Billy the Kid's reputed last words (and the subsequent gunshot), Austin quintet Quien es, Boom! are relieved that debut LP Cast Your Burdens Aside is finally out, mainly because they're already fretting about its follow-up. "It's been sitting on the shelf for a while," says Jeremy Butler, who started the group a year and a half ago with songwriting partner Dabney Dalle and various friends. "You just want it to be released so people know what you're up to." Now that it is, Butler is still struggling with how to describe it. "Those are our very first songs we ever wrote," he says. "It's a strange mixture of traditional songwriting mixed with a little bit of electronics. ... I'm horrible at this. I don't know what it sounds like." TCB would venture ambient folk or acoustic anti-pop, but find out in person Friday at the Parish with the Glass Family and Brothers & Sisters.
