After Geannie Friedman played in a hardcore band called Kite Flying Society in Florida in the early 2000’s, and leading twee-pop bands named Saving Twilight, The Weak Ends, and the Wonderers; Semihelix was formed in 2012 in Austin, TX. They’re a dream pop/psych 90’s fuzz and delay collaboration, with melodic yet loud sounds including influences of The Kinks, Black Tambourine, Sebadoh, and Sonic Youth. The songs speak of love, resilience, overcoming hard times, systematic oppression, living in the present moment, acceptance, and gratitude. The band released their latest full-length “Recoil”...

About the Venue
The Sahara Lounge is a spacious and inviting East side spot with a relaxed, eclectic atmosphere. We offer live music nightly, from Indie, to African, to Blues, and everything in between. Formerly the historic TC's Lounge, the building and decor haven’t changed much, and offer a rich and timeless feel: that of a Texas juke joint with a twist. This is the kind of place where you can while away the hours dancing to the music, sipping Lone Star over a game of pool, playing chess with a fine wine in hand, or writing poetry on the antique Underwood typewriter. We offer a full bar, seasonal drink specials, free parking, and The Sahara Smokehouse serves up delicious West African dishes and BBQ.
