About Annabelle Chairlegs

Annabelle Chairlegs began as Lindsey Mackin’s alter ego in a college rock band and has since grown into her most personal project. After moving to Austin in 2013, Mackin began writing and recording songs that quickly found their way onto the city’s biggest stages. With self released albums including Watermelon Summer (2017) and Gotta Be in Love (2020), and a 2020 Austin Music Award for Best Music Video (Outside), Annabelle Chairlegs has carved out a reputation for audacious songwriting and a magnetic live presence. With roots in the industrial heartland of New Jersey. Mackin's music fuses gritty, dark, mechanical textures with a playful and whimsical spirit. The band has shared bills with The Zombies, Lucy Dacus and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, while lighting up festivals including Austin City Limits, SXSW, Levitation, and Austin Psych Fest. On her newest release, Waking Up (set for early 2026), Mackin is joined by Nick Cornetti on drums and Derek Strahan on bass. Produced and recorded by Ty Segall in Topanga, CA- this marks Chairlegs’ third full-length album—a bold new chapter for the Austin mainstay.
