Very cool event going down on Friday night at the Seaholm Power Plant present by KVRX, Texas Travesty, and Canvas for a Cause.  For only $10, you’ll get great comedy from Mike Macrae, John Ramsey, and Bryan Gutmann along with music from locals Ume and Ringo Deathstarr.  Apparently drink specials, art work displays and other fun whatnot will be going down as well.

Date 4/29/10
Location Stubbs
Doors 7pm
Tickets Sold Out!

Hopefully you were paying attention a few months ago when tickets went on sale for the Phoenix show at Stubbs since it’s now sold out.  Don’t give up hope though… You can always try craigslist or scalping from shady fools outside the venue.  Opening support will be provided by Two Door Cinema Club.  Also stick around after Phoenix wraps up their show for a set on the inside stage by locals The Laughing.

Roky Erickson w/ Okkervil River @ Paramount (4/24)

Leave a comment

Date 4/24/10
Location Paramount Theatre
Doors 7pm
Tickets $37 @ Protixk

Hot off the release of his long awaited new LP, Roky Erickson joins Okkervil River on the stage for a show at The Paramount Theatre on Saturday.  The price may seem just a tad high, but not really when you consider what you’re getting out of the deal: a legend in this town along with one of our best bands of the last decade.  Deal.

Austin Psych Fest Preview

Leave a comment

In 2008, Austin Psych Fest was just a one day event meant to display the collision between the visual and musical.  Two years later, the fest has grown into a three day ordeal.  It still holds to its mission of gathering bands that are pushing the envelop of expanding your mind on various levels, which makes it more than just a festival of great music.  It will take place this Friday thru Sunday, and it features some incredible bands we know you’ll love.

Friday features great acts such as The Raveonettes, Warpaint (so good live) and Indian Jewelry.  Saturday you want to get there to see local favorites The Black Angels.  Sunday’s line-up is ridiculous: The Black Angels, The Dutchess and the Duke, Warlocks and Yellow Fever.

Be Sure to go and grab your tickets and spend your weekend at the always enjoyable Mohawk.  Keep it local, keep it rocking.

Waited too long and can’t seem to find a ticket for that Beach House show on Thursday?  Fret not friends, for Mohawk has an answer with a great local lineup for cheap.  Up and coming locals Sunset, Morakestra and New Roman Times are all a part of this stacked bill.  Support  your local musicians people!

Contest: Local Natives 7″ and Secrets!

11 comments

This should be a show post about the killer evening of tunes over at Antones Friday featuring Local Natives and Suckers (2 of our favorites this year).  But, instead, we’ve got something for you.  We’re running a little contest to win a free Local Natives “Sun Hands” 7″.  All you have to do is leave us a comment telling us what your favorite album of the year is, besides Local Natives (as that should be near the top), and don’t forget to leave a valid email address in the email portion of your comment.  We’ll pick the winner by tomorrow morning and take care of the rest.

Oh, and our top secret spies tell us that the first person to buy Gorilla Manor starting today at Waterloo Records wins two free tickets.  Get over their now.  And be sure to show up early as you’ll love the Suckers too!
