This is fine.
Admittedly, I’ve always been fascinated by the bands that joined up to exhilerate the crowds on this past Monday night, but I can’t say it’s the kind of music I listen to continuously. However, this show at the Mohawk probably changed that for good.

Great show going down tomorrow night at Lambert’s featuring a dual headlining spot by Peter Wolf Crier and Milagres. Both of these bands have been readily spotlighted on ATH over the years so we are obviously pumped for the show. I’m not seeing any word about opening support so I’m not sure if you’ll get one of those or not.

I’ve already caught one amazing show over at the Mohawk this week, but even that might not compare to the gloriousness that will be this Toro y Moi show. Chaz has been putting out effortless pop tunes for some time, and lately he’s been playing with a full-on band, which always entertains. As if that wasn’t enough to get you there, new indie darlings Unknown Mortal Orchestra will be bringing their quirky pop jams to the stage just before, getting you a chance to see one of the new “best” bands around. Oh, and did I mention that my favorites, Bass Drum of Death, are going to kick the whole night off? Well, you gotta be there; there’s not another option.

Plenty of shows getting thrown about these days, this was the end of a three night run. Cymbals Eat Guitars headlined with Milk Thistle and Hooray for Earth.
The nostalgic feelings grow with each show at Emo’s. I found myself taking more pics of the place for the archive. There was ice in the urinal. No pics of that. Milk Thistle shared crafted Indie-Pop, Hooray for Earth battled technical difficulties and Cymbals Eat Guitars played a perfect set.
A few more thoughts and plenty of pics after the break…

Several awesome shows are going down this evening in Austin, and one of them that’s sure to generate a lot of buzz is going down at Mohawk with Braids and Pepper Rabbit throwing down together. San Francisco based Painted Palms round out the all indie lineup and provide opening support. This one is a hipster bloggers wet dream.

It really is a crazy night in Austin with tons of shows for you to choose from in a variety of styles. The show getting down at Lambert’s featuring indie-pop hit makers Nurses should definitely be one of the sets on your radar. Joining the band to co-headline this show is fellow indie buzz band Dominant Legs. Rounding things out and opening up the show you’ll get locals Boyfrndz.

I know, I know, Taking Back Sunday is playing Monday night, but this show over at the Mohawk is going to be far better, I promise. Some of the most creative indie music being made is coming to our town tonight courtesy of Gang Gang Dance. They’re fresh off the summer release of their album, Eye Contact. Their known for extravagant shows, and lets hope this is no exception. But, you get twice as lucky if you come early, as opening band Prince Rama are a force to be reckoned with in their own right. From what I know, PR brings one of the best live acts to town, so you couple that with Gang Gang Dance and you’re left with one brilliant show that’s a can’t miss. Pretty killer way to start off October with our friends at the Mohawk.

We caught up with our good friends Colourmusic, who opened for Colour Revolt. Texans Dignan kicked off the night, Colourmusic brought the noise, and Colour Revolt left everyone happy.
And when we say Colourmusic brought the noise, we mean it. Colourmusic was about as loud as we can remember anyone ever being at Emo’s, and that is saying a lot. Earplugs were complaining to the management. It was awesome.

As if your weekend didn’t have enough choices, let’s go on and add a sweet show at Emo’s going down Saturday night featuring indie rock stars Cymbals Eat Guitars. Also make sure that you are on time for the openers Hooray For Earth and ATH fave locals Milk Thistle. Should be a solid option for musical plans on a Saturday night.

Red 7 has a great lineup put together by the Disastronauts Foundation on Saturday night. Those unfamiliar with the recently formed foundation, should know that their mission is to help out the musicians affected by the tragic wildfires that consumed Central Texas recently. All proceeds from the minimal door fee AND a percentage of bar sales will be donated directly to those musicians in need. As if bringing some good karma your way isn’t enough, a stacked lineup featuring local legends Octopus Project, Reagonometry, Bangaar, Party Wizard, and Her Space Holiday should entice you even more.
This one also hits home for the ATH family, and Marc from Her Space Holiday, as the park in Bastrop where Marc filmed our first Lost in Austin video was destroyed by the fires. Makes the song “Anything For Progress” that much more special doesn’t it? Get out and support people.
