Date	Tuesday, April 10th
Location	Mohawk
Doors	900p
Tickets	$10 from Frontgate

In a busy week for our rock n’ roll community, this seems like a great place to start off with previews, unless you catch ATDI. Megafaun has quietly been making a name for themselves with their gentle brand of folk rock–and we’ve love every bit of it. Their self-titled album from the fall of last year received some great praise all over the Internet, and it should say something that they’ve been chosen to pack Mohawk right after the Hold Steady finishes. Also on the bill for the evening is Field Report and Dana Falconberry, designed to perfectly whet your appetite for the Faun. Come on, it’s time for us all to get out and take in the great music we’re so privileged to have come into town.

Show Pics: Best of Day Parties @ SxSW 2012

March 29, 2012 brian.gray Leave a comment

SxSW 2012 will not go away. It refuses to be ignored. It boils rabbits (that is a movie reference before anyone gets mad at SxSW).

I have a mess of pics from the day parties. This is a hot mess. I am still doing forensics on who and where based on when. I have a rough idea of where I was, but add in an occasional adult beverage, the fact that these were taken five days into my SxSW and I have a lousy memory, you can understand if the details evade. Regardless, these are some my favorite shutter clicks from the unofficial that has become official.

From MWTX to The Fader Fort presented by Converse (professional obligation there, you can thank Converse for saving Fader Fort), I got all kinds of bands performing in daylight. Yech, daylight…

We’ve already talked about some of the great shows this weekend, such as Islands and Los Campesinos, but there’s a solid show going on over at the Mohawk with a bunch of local groups we love. Wiretree is headlining the night, and On After Dark are opening, but you should definitely get there to check out Whitman, as the band will be premiering a lot of their new album on the evening. The record’s titled Weekends, and it has some gems for you, so be sure to support our local scene and show up for all the acts of the evening.

Lost In Austin: A Lull

February 7, 2012 RayRay One comment

We’ve really got our thing going now with these Lost in Austin videos filmed by our good friends over at Guerilla Waltz. We started with quite a few local bands, but recently decided it was time to expand to touring acts since we get so many incredible bands through town. Our very first such video features electro-pop group A Lull. Follow the jump for a set up and video.

As the music season starts to head into full-steam here at the end of January, the Mohawk has a nice little show to offer you this Monday evening: A Lull. The constructionist pop outfit is bring their excellent effort, Confetti, to the live setting for all of you to enjoy, and I promise you that the band’s got a great deal to give in the live setting. It’s similar to the work Animal Collective has done, just a lot less spastic, and a touch more sentimental. Opening the show will be Deleted Scenes and Tape Deck Mountain, so get there early to enjoy all the musical tastiness.

As the year draws closer and closer to wrapping up, we’ve all got to take advantage of the great traveling shows that are trickling into our town. Thursday night’s show over at the Mohawk isn’t just a show to attend because it’s one of the last of the year; it’s a solid show featuring one of the most hard-working musicians Eric Bachmann and his band Crooked Fingers. They’re touring in support of their most recent album, Breaks in the Armor, which really grows and grows. Opener Strand of Oaks will be opening, and they’ve got a solid set lined up for your listening pleasure as well. If you’re in the mood for some mellow indie rock, get out and keep warm.

Fresh off their stop into town during Fun Fun Fun Fest, Future Islands are back in Austin this Tuesday night at Mohawk. The Baltimore based group will be supported by Ed Schrader’s Music Beat and Austin’s own The Sour Notes. With Thanksgiving going down on Thursday, you won’t have many options for music this week so you better be at this one.

Those still looking for a great show to attend on Friday night, for a good cause I might add, should point their attention to the show going down at Mohawk benefiting the Texas School For the Deaf. The lineup includes a plethora of ATH backed Austin bands in the form of Freshmillions, Dark Water Hymnal, Gold Beach, Great Nostalgic, The Pons, The Sour Notes, One Hundred Flowers, and Anam Milá. We also hear that some great merchandise will be on sale and games will be going down as well. More information on how you can support this great cause can be found over on the TSD Foundation website. Count me in!

Show Preview: Mark Sultan @ the Mohawk (11/15)

Alright folks, you’ve got to get on this show! The rock n’ roll season, at least for traveling bands, is winding down quickly. In a week full of great shows, this is definitely one that requires your attendance. A lot of you might know Mark Sultan as BBQ, who used to play with King Khan, but he’s just put out his own sweet little record, Whatever/Whenever, which actually came in a lot of great formats. It’s classic garage rock; it’s the sort that kicked off the whole revisiting of the genre, filled with hooks and dirty guitar playing. Also, you’ll get a chance to see a lot of great local acts like A Giant Dog and Simple Circuit. It’s definitely a better choice than Morrissey.

It’s an electronic-indie fans dream Wednesday night at Mohawk. The show features huge bands in the genre Phantogram and Reptar so you’re late night electronica pop wet dreams are coming true. If I wasn’t still majorly hungover from the Fun Fest dust storm, I’d totally be there.
