House of Rock

It’s only fitting that music has taken YunPeng Zhao (violin), Guillaume Latour (violin), Franck Chevalier (viola) and Pierre Morlet (cello) around the world with performances across Europe, around Asia and stretching North America to South America. After all, Diotima Quartet’s repertoire spans not only time but various continents, running from baroque and classical (Bach, Haydn, Mozart) to French composers (Franck, Debussey) to modern works commissioned for the quartet. Friday, Diotima Quartet plays at House of Rock before their show Saturday at Wolfe Recital Hall at Del Mar College.

Ticket packages are available for couples and discounts are available for students. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Individual tickets can be purchased at our online box office.

On Passafire’s fourth album release, Start From Scratch, the Savannah, GA-based rock outfit is truly starting from scratch. Injected with energy from a new member (keyboardist Mike DeGuzman), a freshly formed band-owned label (FlameGuy Records) and a new producer, Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers, Sublime, Meat Puppets), the band have made their best album to date.

Trekking down to Sonic Ranch outside of El Paso, TX, where Conor Oberst, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Sublime and many more recently recorded, they expand their sound from their previous releases; deeply honing guitar tones, exploring synth sounds, and laying down tracks of harmonica and banjo.

Passafire was formed in 2003, by students attending Savannah College of Art and Design. Throughout the years they have become a perpetually touring band, playing hundreds of shows a year with bands like 311, Pepper, Rebelution, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, The Wailers and many more.

Support acts for Passafire are Flatbroke and High-Bred Roots. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Disc-Go-Round, House of Rock and our online box office.

Quiet Company’s ascent to being recognized as a breakout band on the Austin scene built quickly over a short period of time and then exploded like one of the indie pop-rock group’s anthemic songs. Bursting with energy and boldness, songs swirl with guitars, piano and soaring vocal harmonies around singer Taylor Muse’s heady lyrics.

Quiet Company’s efforts and music haven’t gone unnoticed — the band took home a record 10 Austin Music Awards in 2012 for the album “We Are All Where We Belong.” Their upcoming release April 9 is the group’s debut album re-recorded and titled “A Deadman on My Back: Shine Honesty Revisited.” Check out Quiet Company (www.quietcompanymusic.com) at two shows Wednesday at House of Rock. The group plays with Echo (Echo on Facebook) for Wednesday’s Working Class Concert Series.

Doors open at 5:30 and the show is over by 8. Get $2 off admission with work credentials or a name tag. Quiet Company will play a second show later Wednesday at 10 p.m. The Working Class Concert Series is presented by University of Incarnate Word and Classic Rock 104.5.
