Date	4/12/13
Location	Mohawk
Doors	9pm
Tickets	$10 @ Frontgate/$12 @ Door

As we previously mentioned, this week of shows, or even month, is insane in this town. I mean, this is why we all live here right? Well I feel like this one going down at the Mohawk on Friday night might be flying so far under the radar that people are forgetting about it. On the loaded bill you get lady rockers Bleached, Hunters, and Fleshlights. It just seems like something you should be doing.

SxSW 2013: Day Party Pics

April 4, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

No, I am not done yet. This one and a gallery of the showcases is all that is left. If I can muster it, I’ll do a best of post. Best-ofs are easier well removed from a festival because lasting memories help define what really got you going.

Anyway, this giant gallery of daytime show goodness includes some candids and portraits from around the conference during the unofficial events. Highlights include Wax Idols, Nobunny, The Soft Moon, Criminal Hygiene, Bleeding Rainbows, that band Thurston Moore is in, Delorean and so much more.

Click through. Play a game of “oh yeah, I was there.”

Show Preview: Shivery Shakes + Tiger Waves + She Sir + Shrines @ Mohawk (4.4)

April 4, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Date	Thursday, April 4th
Location	Mohawk
Doors	9 PM
Tickets	$6 at the Door

If you’ve looked at the upcoming shows listing for Austin, April is about to get really crazy ya’ll, so why not start things off right by spending an evening with some of the best local bands Austin has to offer. We’ve raved about all of these bands for a long time, and I know that at least three of the four acts are working on new albums/singles, so you’re bound to hear some fresh tunes. Shivery Shakes are tighter than ever. Tiger Waves, I love them. She Sir make smart pop that I adore. Shrines I haven’t seen, but to be on this bill, you know they’re rad. Seriously everyone, it’s a cheap show, so come out and support local music. Here’s some jams from the Shakes, the Waves and the Sir in case you needed convincing.

Show Review: Efterklang @ Mohawk (3.6)

March 7, 2013 nathan.lankford One comment

Danish powerhouse Efterklang had a difficult task when they came to town on Wednesday night, which was more or less, SXSW eve. It’s hard to entice people to a show when their racked with anxiety about scheduling and/or hiding from the masses. Sure, it wasn’t sold out, but all those in attendance were treated to a joyous evening set by the group.

Read on for our thoughts on the show, and photos from B. Gray.

Show Preview: Efterklang @ Mohawk (3.6)

March 5, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Date	Wednesday, March 6th
Location	Mohawk
Doors	630 PM
Tickets	$12 from Frontgate

We know that you all have your eyes on the prize. Sure, SXSW is a few weeks away, but starting Wednesday night, we’re all going to be treated to a long week and a half of great music here in town. Why not start things off with Efterklang? The Danes have been crafting brilliant orchestral pop tunes for quite some time, and as a person who has caught their live set multilple times, I can attest that you won’t leave this show disappointed. Oh, and if you need another reason to go, Nightlands are also on the bill. Dave Hartley, who works by day in War on Drugs, has just released Oak Island, his personal bedroom recording project. It’s got a broader, more extravagant, sonic pallette this time, so you’ll need to see him perform too. Opening things up at 7:30 will be My Empty Phantom…from here on out there’s a rad show every night of the week, so if you’re skipping the hullabaloo, at least make it to this night of joy.

Show Review: Unknown Mortal Orchestra @ Mohawk (2.20) + Tiger Waves

February 21, 2013 nathan.lankford 6 comments

Rainy weather won’t keep us down, especially if we’ve got rock n’ roll on our minds. The Mohawk gradually swelled to capacity with Foxygen and Unknown Mortal Orchestra having a huge draw in town, both touring behind pretty solid album releases in 2013. I even stuck around to watch our friends Tiger Waves do their thing on the indoor stage afterwards.

Read on for brief thoughts and Brian’s rad photos.

Rad Music Thursday — In Austin That Is

February 20, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

It’s a weird world in Austin building up to SXSW. We get some good shows, but a lot of traveling acts just postpone the inevitable of a week of belligerence and loud tunes. Luckily, Thursday night has all kinds of great shows you can skip around to, or catch in full, all featuring promising acts that us folks at ATH adore. Here’s a brief spotlight on where you can head if you’re into live music. Read more
