Emo's is a prominent nightclub located in Austin, Texas.[1] Emo's got its start as a Houston punk club in 1989, with the Austin location opening in 1992.[2] The Houston location closed its doors in September 2001.[3]

Emo's is an official South by Southwest Music Festival venue, during which the club consists of four stages.[4] The annual Emissions from the Monolith festival relocated to Emo's in 2007.[5]
