Show Of The Week
If I weren’t going to be out of town on Saturday, I’d definitely be at the Mohawk for White Denim. Here’s why the band is playing.
“A couple of weeks ago we lost a dear friend. Scott Staab was a fixture in our creative community in Austin and was a very early White Denim enthusiast. We are honored to celebrate the man’s life with two amazing bands this Saturday at Mohawk. All proceeds go to sending his son Vic to college in 2029. We hope to see you there. This one is important.”
Go in my place! Not only is the band great live, but it’s for a good cause. Plus, two other excellent locals – Palo Duro and Feverbones – will be opening. Tix are $15.
PS – I’ve got another entry into the 93.7 KLBJ’s Sunset Series happening this Sunday out at Ernie’s On The Lake. Come see Quiet Company, Booher and Genuine Leather! It’s FREE! Music starts at 5pm.
