Achachay! to open for Ben Kweller @ Rice University, Houston, TX

Achachay!

Austin band Achachay! will get fans shaking their hips at the kickoff event for Rice University's Willy Week, a campus wide picnic featuring live music from Achachay! and Ben Kweller.

This funk rock extravaganza is the first of many big shows for recent Rice grad Jordan Myska Allen and Houston born Ryan Greenblatt. They have eschewed the traditional work route to pursue a career as rock stars.

The unusual pair garnish their funk rhythms, rock guitar, and danceable electronic synthesizers with lyrical topics that range from existential crises to absurd and imaginary rock people. The thought provoking and danceable tunes have found rapport with like-minded young adults looking to make sense of the world in the midst of financial troubles.

Fortunately for coin counting Achachay! and Ben Kweller fans, the show - which takes place on the campus at Rice University in Houston, TX Monday, March 16, 2009, and starts at 5:15pm - is free and open to the public.

A large outdoor stage will be set up in the lawn outside the Ley Student Center, across the street from the Baker Institute for Public Policy. The show will move inside Student Center in the case of inclement weather.

Lead guitarist and singer Allen and drummer Greenblatt will be supported by Sugarland native Sam Powell on keys, and Nick Floyd on bass.
