Interview with San Marcos City Councilman Maxfield Baker ktsw899
By Avery Viers Local Music Director On day one of the whirlwind weekend that was LEVITATION 2022 I spoke with Donita Sparks, guitarist and vocalist of legendary hard rock band, L7. Sparks and band members Suzi Gardner, Jennifer Finch, and Dee Plakas played at Mohawk on Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, as one of the music festival’s final sets. With only twenty-four hours to prepare for my interview with Sparks, I […]
By Jake DromgooleMusic Journalist Ah, autumn in Austin, Texas. Where the temperatures rise and fall thirty degrees overnight, and sweater weather quickly becomes just plain sweat weather. Oct. 14 at the Mohawk was one of those warmer nights, made warmer by the few hundred bodies gathered to witness shoegaze/indie band DIIV’s return to Austin. DIIV (pronounced dive) took the outdoor stage at the Mohawk a little after nine o’clock after […]
By Jillian JacobsMusic Journalist On Sept. 11, 2019 a legend passed away. His name was Daniel Johnston. Johnston was a key figure in the Austin music scene. He made his debut to the town in the '80s by passing out his tapes to musicians not to gain fame but to share what was on his mind. On Oct. 10, 2019, World Mental Health Day, lovers of Johnston gathered together to […]
By Madisen Gummer Music Journalist Beach Fossils sound like spring, and Tuesday, April 23 they brought their warm and dreamy melodies to Mohawk in Austin to begin their US tour. I was personally excited for this show because not only am I a big fan of the headliners, but also the two openers. Why Bonnie graced the stage with a perfect mix of eloquence and grunge. Their set included some […]
By Clayton Chaney Local Music Journalist This past Wednesday, I was fortunate enough to attend an incredible show put on by some extremely talented local bands from the San Marcos/Austin area. I must say it was the most exciting Wednesday night I’ve had in a long time. Mohawk is a pretty well-known venue around Austin as they’ve hosted bands like Hippo Campus, Tom Misch, Mac Demarco and The Deer. If […]
By Aimee Huckeba Music Journalist South by Southwest is the premier festival for up-and-coming music, films, gaming and more that takes place across Austin for nine days. SXSW 2018 has come and gone, leaving Austin with a strong impression of the underground talent that has already started to surface. I had to go see the Chicago-based band Post Animal this festival season. Luckily for me, the band had numerous shows […]
Andrew Nogay Web Content Contributor This past Saturday, Destruction Unit played a show at the Mohawk in Austin. If they aren't the best band in America, they very well might be the loudest. This was the third time I've seen them live, and like all the other times it was an experience. They play an aggressive offshoot of psych-punk that uses noise to the point of disorientation, or tinnitus. It […]
by Sierra Schuette Web Content Contributor *KTSW consists of and respects varying opinions within its staff. Opinion articles do not reflect the opinion of KTSW as a whole. Shapescenes is an alternative rock band with a little electronic edge out of Austin, Texas. They draw inspiration from bands like The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, and My Bloody Valentine. I can see fans of indie rock really enjoying their music. The band […]
