Great show going down Wednesday night on the inside stage at Mohawk featuring up and coming indie band Gardens and Villa. Opening support is also legit with Motopony and Invisible Inks both on hand for live sets. It should be a good one.

Austin’s Weird Weeds have been knocking around our town for quite some time, and they’ve built up a pretty decent following. This means you’ll be in for some good times, along with some great music at the Mohawk on Saturday evening. Also, you have to get their early to catch one of our favorite acts Sleep Good, still riding high after the release of their latest album, Skyclimber. Lean Hounds will be the first act of the evening; another good act. With a slew of shows going down over the weekend like Iron and Wine and Joanna Newsom, you’ll get more bang for your buck by ending up over at Mohawk.

A recent ATH discovery Yourself & the Air have a show planned for the inside stage of Mohawk this evening. The show is completely local after that and features young upstarts Magnificent Snails, Royal Forrest, and Searching for a Signal. The local talent alone should get you there and the headliners will hopefully impress a few of you people.

One of the great acts that made a musical resurgence during the 00s is Mission of Burma, and since returning to the fold, they’ve kept it going. Their musical catalog is extremely song, and they’ve written perhaps one of the greatest songs ever in “(That’s When I Reach for My) Revolver.” I could play that song again and again, and it’s still brilliant. If you dig the song, and aren’t familiar with the band, a great place to start is A Gun to the Head, which is sort of a compilation. Also on the bill at Mohawk are Austinites Ume and Daniel Francis Doyle. Should be a great place to start your evening.

Local ATH favorites The Calm Blue Sea are headlining a show at the Mohawk tomorrow night. The show is all local and also features great Austin talents The White White Lights, The Couch and Watch Out For Rockets. A better lineup with some of Austin’s best up and coming talent can’t be found on one bill. Do it.

One of my favorite discoveries of the year, Nashville based fuzz rockers Paperhead, are making a stop into Austin at the Mohawk tonight. I’m willing to bet that most of you have nothing better to do on a Monday night and this is a great chance to see an up and coming band on the cheap. Joining this promising new group on stage are local promising talent Rayon Beach. Get out there people and discover some new tunes.

Local kids the Strange Boys are about to embark on a cross country tour this summer, but have a show at Mohawk this Friday before they head out. Opening support is provided by Spiked Punch. Concert goers should also stick around after the Strange Boys for an inside midnight show by Grand Champeen. With not a whole lot of solid shows this Friday, sending our Austin friends off in style is a must.

Old ATH favorite John Vanderslice is making a stop into town this Tuesday at the Mohawk in Austin. Joining this incredible singer songwriter on the stage to provide opening support is Daniel Hart. You may not get a better chance to see such a talented guy in an intimate setting like this.

While praise has been mixed with the last couple of Of Montreal releases, no one will ever argue that the band put on one of the most extravagant, not to mention creative, live shows. Thus, this is where you should be on Tuesday night when the group rolls into the Mohawk. I’m thinking that since the Mohawk has a small stage, you’ll get a little bit more of a musically focused production than some might expect, but I promise you, this is a good thing. Opening up for the group is Painted Palms, and if that’s not enough you can stick around afterwards to catch one of our favorite local acts, One-Hundred Flowers, though we heard Kevin is DJing over at Elysium. You’ll be happy either way.

Most people might not recognize the name Junip, as it hasn’t quite become a household name, but surely you’ll all recognize one of the principle songwriters in the band, Jose Gonzalez. The Swedish group is coming to the Mohawk to support the release of their recent Fields LP, a collection of beautiful songs that quietly sank deep into the souls of every listener. The likelihood of a cool Spring breeze blowing into town as the band takes to the stage only makes this opportunity for music all the more special, matching the music with its seasonal counterpart. Not only will you fall in love with Junip, but you’ll also have a chance to see Acrylics, the NYC band steadily building themselves their own reputation. Just another great night of music in Austin.
