It was quite a night for Team ATH at The Mohawk earlier this week. Nathan is Emo kid. Hashtag child of he nineties. I relate. He gets excited about The Get Up Kids like I get excited about The Cure. That was the outside show. The inside show later was Diet Cig, a two-piece that has been heaped praise upon by us and much of the intarwebs. Turns out, they got in early to hang out and watch their openers, heh.

We have tons of pics from the night and a few notes. Get ready for Josh Berwanger, Hotelier, The Get Up Kids, Rose Selavy, Pleasure Venom and Diet Cig and then click read more…

Show Preview: Get Up Kids + Diet Cig @ Mohawk (9.16)

Those of you who consider yourself fans of emo, old and new, will want to be on hand at the Mohawk on Wednesday night. You’ll be treated to the legendary emo godfathers, The Get Up Kids, playing their 20th Anniversary Tour. They’ll be playing with Josh Berwanger and Hotelier; I can tell you that the last time they came through it was nothing short of a 2 hour long singalong.

But, I also implore you stick around that night and watch Diet Cig, who’ve released a couple of endearing EPs via Father Daughter Records. Honestly, there’s not a better way to celebrate the genre, or just good music in general, so make you have it on your schedule. Pleasure Venom will open the evening for you.

Blast from the Past: The Return of Josh Berwanger

August 22, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Admittedly, I went through a pretty intense emo phase (by that I’m talking 2nd wave). One of the acts I got really into was the Anniversary, which interestingly appealed more to me with their second album, as it grew much like I did. Here we have Josh Berwanger, one of the band’s primary songwriters returning. It still has some of that country twang to it, though the Josh’s usage of combining male and female vocals is still evident here. It’s a pretty casual track, but I’m not going to pretend like the harmonies don’t make their way into my heart. He’ll be releasing his debut album, Strange Stains, on October 1st via Good Land Records. I’m actually looking forward to what he comes up with this time around.
