Austin TV, One of the most hardworking and self-promoting bands of the mexican indie community was formed in 2001 by Chato who plays guitar, Chavo who also plays guitar, Pasa on the bass, and Xna Yer playing drums and Kaoss pad, later Chio San joined the band by playing samplers and synthetizers.

Their music is a fresh amalgam of progressive psychedelia, heavy sounds and dream pop, all these following a totally-instrumental policy, influenced by bands like Sigur Rós, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Yo La Tengo or even That Dog.

On September of 2002 they released their five track-EP entitled Austin TV, the EP’s only vocal sounds are samples of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “Fando y Lis” and Richard Linklater’s “SubUrbia” showing us their intense love for movies. On November of 2003 they delivered their first album: La Última Noche Del Mundo (The Last Night Of The World), this 8 track LP consolidated them as a powerful band, the music here is great, especially the sublime “Ella No Me Conoce” (She Doesn’t Know Me). Next year, on March, Pasa left the band to concentrate in his career, and Ratón took his place on bass. On August 2004 they compiled and issued a limited edition album of B-sides and live tracks with the name of Asrael, the album quickly went out-of-stock, and it is now a rarity. Along these releases they’ve participated in several movie soundtracks including: “Más Que a Nada en el Mundo“, “Temporada de Patos” and “American Visa” among others.

Their latest release is a free DVD of a live acoustic show recorded on the winter of 2005 at IMER studios in Mexico City, the DVD Temblaban Con Sonata Solitaria (They Trembled With Solitary Sonata) was directed by Project Mayhem and sponsored by Vans, it contains 9 finely achieved acoustic performances by this outstanding DIY-band, whose future looks bright and very promising.
