There’s several strong local shows featuring friends TV Torso and Great Nostalgic, and some punk rock to boot. Read more for a nice list, and some songs. Read more

It really is a weekend for checking out local music isn’t it? Tons of bands that we really dig are playing this weekend at great venues on the cheap. Saturday at the Mohawk is one of those great places to stop by while making your weekend plans. The lineup consists of three awesome local acts in the form of Black Books, Sad Accordions, and Royal Forest. It’s also a special night for Sad Accordions as they are celebrating the release of their new EP The Colors and the Kill. You’ve got some tough choices to make on which local show you end up at on Saturday night, but this one should certainly be on the short list.

Those looking for some solid local shows this weekend have a lot of good options and one can begin their quest with a set by Balmorhea at Mohawk on Friday night. The show has local support provided by The Eastern Sea and Danny Malone. It should be a great weekend to be outside for a show on this incredible outside venue.

Indie superstars Deerhoof are making a stop into Austin at Mohawk on Tuesday night. The show is getting kicked off pretty early, with a start time around 9:30 for the headliners, so you working stiffs should still be able to make it out. Opening support is provided by Ben Butler and Mouse Pad, Fingaar Bangaar, and Nervous Cop. Those looking for even more music should stick around for the after show inside with local music provided by Zorch, Cartright, and Sunset.

Those crazy bastards known as Monotonix from Israel are making a stop into Mohawk on Saturday night. Joining the punk rockers and opening the show up are our local favorites The Strange Boys. I’d recommend the Boys finish and get out of the way so as to not get a butt cheek in the face. I’m sure this show will be just as nuts as all their other ones.

Hipster kids favorite hip-hop group Cool Kids are making another stop at the Mohawk in Austin this Thursday evening. You’ll be getting a huge bang for your buck with Lee Coretta, Gobi, Roosh Williams, Napalm, and Kydd all providing short opening sets leading up to the headliners. It’s a slow week in the live music world kids and this looks to be one of the best options for Thursday night.

The man who sometimes calls himself Black Elvis, or Kool Keith to some of you, is stopping into Austin for a special show on Saturday night at Mohawk. Joining Doc Oc on stage is fellow lights out performer and big booty shaker Big Freedia. For that ticket price, this is a must see for any fans of hip-hop and a good time.

At first, I was looking forward to an outdoor show at Mohawk in January. Then the forecast kept getting colder and colder. I wasn’t worried as being near the stage for pics meant carry over heat from the pit. Instead, promoters moved the show to Red7. The openers had issues, the speakers were giving up, but No Age killed. Follow the jump for more.
