Austin TV is an avant-garde instrumental rock band hailing from Mexico City, known for their unique blend of post-rock, experimental sounds, and visual artistry during live performances. Formed in 2001, they have carved out a distinct niche in the alternative music scene by weaving intricate sonic tapestries that eschew lyrics for a more abstract, emotional storytelling. Renown for their theatrical stage presence, frequently performed in elaborate costumes and accompanied by carefully curated visuals, the band creates an immersive experience for their audience.

Over the years, Austin TV has produced a body of work that is both critically acclaimed and beloved by a cult following. Albums such as "Fontana Bella" and "Caballeros del Albedrío" showcase their ability to juxtapose intense guitar-driven melodies with sweeping, ambient landscapes. The band's exploration of conceptual motifs is exemplified in releases like "Rizoma" and "Ésta Es la Razón," which delve into the interconnectedness of the universe and personal introspection, respectively. Meanwhile, "Lotería! y ahora no..." and the live performance "Tupac Martir's Nierka Part II (Live at Peacock Theatre)" affirm that their art extends beyond the studio and into the visceral realm of live storytelling. Austin TV's dedication to pushing the boundaries of what instrumental rock can be continues to resonate with listeners seeking an experience that transcends conventional musical norms.
