Stalefish (SXSW)

4.3

Head to Low Down Lounge for an epic night with Stalefish (OFFICIAL), Austin's own 6-piece rock/pop powerhouse shaking up the scene!

This official event promises badges, wristbands, and priority access for the ultimate fan experience. Fresh off their 2025 EP 'New Pop Experiments Vol. 1', the band is wrapping up their 3rd LP 'Bueno', recorded live in early 2026 to capture that raw, electric live energy with minimal overdubs.

Meet the trio of lead singers and songwriters: Dalton Hausman, Jake Magee, and producer Sam Franklin. Their tunes dive deep into love, heartbreak, infatuation, loneliness, and a cheeky skepticism of today's music world, all wrapped in '90s/'00s rock vibes complete with synthesizers, saxophone, glockenspiel, killer guitar solos, and funky odd time signatures.

Inspired by legends like Ween, Wilco, Spoon, Teenage Fanclub, and Dinosaur Jr.
Dubbed the "hardest working slacker rock band" with a fierce DIY spirit
Now aiming for national and international stages
