Show Preview: Here We Go Magic @ The Parish (5.25)

Date Wednesday, May 25th
Location Parish
Doors 800p
Tickets $11 from Frontgate

Honestly, I feel sort of like Here We Go Magic are becoming a local band; those kids play here all the time.  That being said, we’ll gladly have them back any time, as long as they continue to give us great liver performances, and killer music like the recent January EP. They’ll be sweeping through town on Wednesday with another Brooklyn act in tow, giving us all a pretty solid reason to head out to the Parish midweek.  Caveman and Shells (up-and-coming Austin band) will both open the evening, just before we get to the nitty-gritty jam-core of HWGM.  You in? You better be.

Show Preview: Midgetmen 9th Anniversary @ Mohawk (5/20)

Date 5/20/11
Location Mohawk
Doors 8pm
Tickets $8 @ Door

It’s been a great week so far for local shows, and we see no reason not to continue the Austin artist fun at Mohawk on Friday night.  Headlining and putting this whole thing together to celebrate their 9th year together are Austin’s very own rockers The Midgetmen.  Never the type to half ass anything, the boys have a stellar local show lined up featuring La Snacks, San Saba County, The Blistering Speeds, The Pons, Shells, Through the Trees, and The Sour Notes.  Also expect some tasty free beverages provided by Treaty Oak Rum and Graham’s Texas Tea.  Be there Ausinites!  While we’re at it, here’s the opening number “Beer’s Gone” to the Midgetmen’s new album Loud Enough.
