About

Austin TV is an instrumental post-rock band formed in 2001 in Mexico City. Austin TV creates sonic landscapes with their music without lyrics. They have opened for groups like Yo La Tengo in Mexico and Café Tacuba in the U.S. leg of their 2007 tour, and have released three LPs, one EP and appearances in many Mexican independent bands compilations. Like The Residents or Devo, the group usually performs on stage with masks, disguises and uniforms. Concealing their identity in this way personifies their motto: "Your face is not important. The truth is inside".

Austin TV has shared the stage with many important bands of the Mexican scene, as well as international bands such as Mogwai, Tristeza, the Album Leaf and Incubus, among others. They have played at very important festivals like Vive Latino, Zero Fest, Motorokr Fest, SXSW, Personal Fest in Argentina, Manifest, Festival Cervantino, LAMC in New York, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and recently at the Rock al Parque Fest in Colombia, and "Quitofest" in Ecuador. They have also opened at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

After reuniting in 2022, they released their fifth album, Rizoma, on September 28, 2023.

In 2024, to mark the 21st anniversary of La última noche del mundo, in addition to releasing remastered versions of the album, the band played a series of five shows at the Foro Alicia in Mexico City, performing the entire album and a few other songs from their other albums, depending on the day.

In 2026, the band released a series of singles from its album MA. The album was not made available in its entirely on streaming platforms and material form it was scheduled to be performed at intimate concerts in the United States, Europe and Mexico.

Austin TV est un groupe mexicain de post-rock, originaire de Mexico. Il est formé sous le concept de Tú cara no importa, importas tú, un slogan avec lequel le groupe a cherché à encourager le public à ne pas prêter attention à l'apparence, mais à regarder à l'intérieur ; par conséquent, les musiciens qui composent le groupe ont gardé leurs visages anonymes en portant des masques.
