The Austin-based Latin DJ collective Peligrosa is hitting the east side once again Friday at Frontier Bar. The relatively new destination bar opened doors in July 2011 and has made its imprint on the local music scene with everything from free shows to giant water slides. We also remember something about a giant dragon. Not kidding.

Peligrosa parties and events are always a crowd pleaser, drawing Latinos and hipsters from all walks of life. Their mash ups include hip hop, soul, funk and electronic dance music mixed with traditional music from Latin America. Along with frontman DJ Orion, Peligrosa members Manolo Black, and King Louie will be spinning Friday night.

Frontier Bar is located at 2421 Webberville Rd. Doors open at 9 p.m. No cover for 21+. $10 for under 21. Visit the official event post on Facebook here and on Do512 here.

New York City-based Outernational is one of those rare bands that come around once every few years that makes music that truly crosses borders and musical genres. Their sound is an eclectic mix of The Clash-style punk rock with a little Gogol Bordello swagger. Add some socially conscious lyrics and you have the self-branded “future rock” sound that is Outernational.

The band is currently on tour in support of their new release, Future Rock. The Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave) produced EP is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed Todos Somos Illegales. The Austin tour stop will be this Friday night, August 10, at Lambert’s with DJ Manolo Black of Peligrosa.
