Daiistar (SXSW)

4.6

Head to Valhalla at 710 Red River for the official DAIISTAR show, where Austin's own alt-indie psych rockers bring their neo-psychedelic vibes to life!

Formed in 2020, DAIISTAR blends 80s and 90s influences like The Jesus and Mary Chain and Spacemen 3 with modern synths, heavy guitars, and infectious hooks for a narcotic mix of noise and melody. Their debut album Good Time, produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels, dropped in 2023 on Fuzz Club Records—catch the vinyl or digital vibes! They've rocked stages at ACL, SXSW, Levitation, and toured with legends like The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

  • Expect fuzzy guitars, bouncing bass, and spiraling jams that pull you into a dreamy haze.
  • Official event with badges, wristbands, and priority access—perfect for psych fans!
  • Indie rock subgenre with shoegaze and noise-pop edges for an unforgettable night.

The Venue

Step into the lively spirit of Valhalla, where classic dive bar vibes meet the unique energy of Austin’s legendary Red River Cultural District! This neighborhood gem brings together locals, music lovers, and game enthusiasts for an experience packed with fun and character.

  1. Live music takes center stage regularly, featuring a mix of rock, metal, punk, and special themed nights that showcase both touring acts and Austin’s own talent.
  2. The atmosphere is laid-back and upbeat, with a vintage jukebox, eye-catching local art, and friendly staff serving up craft drinks and great food.
  3. Adult games are everywhere—from pinball and pool to shuffleboard, skeeball, air hockey, and foosball—making it the perfect spot for some playful competition or relaxed hangouts.
  4. Dive-bar prices mean you can enjoy well-crafted drinks and beers without breaking the bank.

With its welcoming crowd, small stage for up-close shows, and a reputation for being an “Old Austin” favorite while still keeping up with the city’s energy, Valhalla is the go-to destination for anyone craving authenticity and a good time.
