The Mohawk - Austin Town Hall

My New Best Friend, James Murphy…

April 13, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

We are pretty lucky to live here in Austin. Friday night, the wife and I started out at the friendly confines of The Mohawk, caught a kick ass set from Flesh Lights, chilled at a picnic table, had beer, whisky, and Topo Chico with good people that also love our music scene.

Red7 played host to a DJ set from James Murphy thanks to Learning Secrets. The wife got tix and that means that we became besties with the leader of one of my favorite things, LCD Soundsystem.

SxSW 2013 Pics: Iggy and The Stooges @ The Mohawk

March 20, 2013 brian.gray 2 comments

My SxSW overload begins with a show that happened at my favorite venue, The Mohawk. It was a limited entry kind of deal, badge and wristband only, no wristbands even got in – Iggy Pop and the Stooges with Japandroids.

I had requested access to the NPR showcase featuring Nick Cave and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. To think, SxSW has become the kind of event where seeing Iggy in a thousand person venue is a backup plan? Odd.

Show Review: Starfucker @ The Mohawk (3/7)

March 8, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

Another show on the eve of SxSW we had to attend was Starfucker at The Mohawk. They always throw down the jams and recent IT Department favorite Blackbird Blackbird were opening.

It was severely sold out and though I did not witness it, I am pretty sure there were more than a few that managed to sneak in. By the time Blackbird Blackbird took the stage, the entirety of the lower area was jammed. Impressive crowd, they came to dance.

Read on for thoughts and a ton of pics including backstage stuff with furries, a spaceman and Gumby.

Thr!!!er Is Coming

February 12, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

Naming your album Thr!!!er is a bold move chk chk chk. Or !!!. Or whatever.

If you want to get a sample of the goodness that awaits, you can download the track “SLYD” for the low-low price of your email address. It is a dancy sample driven groove, shocking right? To pair with this new track is the announcement that they will play The Mohawk on May 25. Tix go on sale later this week (2/15), so get on the for sale page and start refreshing.

Channeling my inner-Al Czervik – “LET’S DANCE!”

Show Pics: ONUINU @ The Mohawk (2/1)

February 4, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

After the rock and roll outside, the crowd built inside and the beats started to flow. I was able to catch a bit of Love Inks and took in ONUINU‘s one man show. Merch was stacked, hands were marked.

I was really curious about the one man show act. We all know how horribly wrong things can go. Spoiler alert, it was good.

Sometimes I just want a rock show. This was the perfect lineup. No antics, just songs. Good songs.

It was a long night at The Mohawk, a few shots from ONUINU pending postage. Part one of the pics cavalcade will be for the show on the outside stage with Centro-Matic, Frank Smith and Moonlight Towers.

Show Preview: Centro-Matic/ONUINU @ The Mohawk (2/1)

February 1, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

Date	2/1/13
Location	The Mohawk
Doors	8pm
Tickets	Mohawk @ Frontgate

Double bill of diversity.

First up, Will Johnson blows the dust off of Centro-Matic playing the outside stage. Hoping to get some new tracks out of this deal. Doors are 8pm, show at 9pm with Frank Smith and Moonlight Towers opening. I really enjoy Moonlight Towers for some just plain rock, got to hang with James at EAR studios during SxSW a few years back, super good people. Should be a lovely evening ($13 doors/$15 will call). A lil Centro-Matic action to put you in the mood.

Things double back and head indoors for ONUINU on the inside stage. Portland based Dorian Duvall brings his show to town so you can dance. Love Inks and Roger Sellers open up ($8 door/$10 will call). Here is some ONUINU to get you in the mood, or if you fill AV, go here to see and hear the latest..

Show Review: Ty Segall @ Mohawk (1/25)

January 28, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I don’t know how he does it, but Ty Segall just keeps pumping out good albums, and with all those good albums usually comes a nice trip down to Austin. Of course, our city must be like a home away from home, as the Mohawk again sold out for the evening.

Show Pics: Tiger Waves @ The Mohawk (1/22)

January 24, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

Tiger Waves is an ATH fave. We are fans and you should be to, the fresh vinyl pending on ATH records.

We have your interest piqued? Well, you won’t get to see them for a bit as they just hit the road. To send them off, they played the Purity Ring after show. It was pretty damn crowded, despite being a Tuesday night. Love it.

Show Pics: Purity Ring @ The Mohawk (1/23)

January 23, 2013 brian.gray Leave a comment

As the set time sheet at The Mohawk read, SOLD THE FUCK OUT. Three ticket agents were sitting out front asking for extra tickets. Guess the ticket agents are big Purity Ring fans.

Doors were at 7:30, but that was a last minute change from 6:30. That meant a giant line in for both doors and rail campers right away. I knew it would be a challenge to move through the masses, but I was ready to get smooth electro bounce BUZZ jams on in full effect. Young Magic started the night.
