You ever notice a name pop up more and more in a music scene, almost nearing non-stop status, and wonder to yourself, “sure just one person can’t squeeze in the time and energy for all this”…only to find out it’s not a sole person after all, nor even the namesake of one of its members? It’s more common a phenomenon then you might expect. And given the big year they’ve had so far, we suspect it’s happened thoroughly for new listeners of a certain Austin three-piece.
So let’s have a lil powwow with Parker Woodland. Named after the local intersection of Parker Lane and Woodland Avenue, this indie-pop-meets-punk-rock trio’s been on top of things since sharing their debut EP The World’s on Fire (And We Still Fall in Love) in early 2021. Already a certified perseverant standout of the Live Music Capital, this September’s set to start off an extra special era for Parker Woodland, as they power through a packed show schedule surrounding their debut full-length, There’s No Such Thing as Time.
Yeah, there’s no time like this week to seek out Parker Woodland in person; they’ll be palling around a VIP vinyl listening party tomorrow, enjoying an in-store performance and record signing at Waterloo Records on Friday at 5, and tearing into a two-part album release show at the Mohawk, 8PM that same sold out evening and again 2PM the next afternoon for a matinee multi-member birthday celebration. Oh, and did we mention the City of Austin’s proclaiming September 12th as Parker Woodland Day next weekend?
The hype isn’t just real. It’s fully warranted and well-earned. But if you haven’t heard why yet…well it’s time to climb up and face the music with the LP’s second lead single (and lyric music video) “Ladder At Your Window”. Major Go-Go’s energy on this one and major kudos to Parker Woodland for propelling themselves this far and presumably well past what’s set to the be the first of many more milestones.
