Shy Beast
Electro-pop five piece Shy Beast began in 2017, born out of the ashes of MCG, a much-loved staple of the Austin, TX scene. Shy Beast is the result of a natural maturation of the members that make up the band. Fronted by multi-talented vocalist Mariclaire Glaeser, Shy Beast tread a focused path towards pop artistry, combining elements of moody indie rock with danceable rhythms and unapologetically honest lyricism. The result is a sound that stands out from the shallow electro-pop bands that dominate the airwaves these days.

Austin, TX
Launderette
"I love Launderette. The decor is hip, bright, tropical and nostalgic. They have small shareable plates, great cocktails, and birthday cake ice cream sandwiches. Brunch there is a dream. I always order the pancakes that come with your own kitty-cat syrup decanter." — Shy Beast

Weather Up
"Weather Up, because of its quaint and elegant back patio, and it's intimate indoor bar decorated in gem stones and copper. They always have unique cocktails with a bit of a 'kick' to them, and the food is glorious." — Shy Beast
