Saturday Night Show Pick: Brownout CD Release Show at Mohawk

Austin's Latin funk assassins, Brownout, will be bring the funk live tonight at Mohawk. Known to many as the little brother or side project of Grupo Fantasma, Brownout will be changing that perception after tomorrow. Their new album, Aguilas Y Cobras, is worth all the buzz it has been getting. Just yesterday afternoon I heard them on Horizontes on KUT. They mentioned that they will be going on tour out to the West Coast soon, so if you're in Austin you need to take advantage tonight. As great as their CDs are, the live show is even better.

As for the show tonight, Brownout will take the stage around 10:00 PM, with Pong as the opener. The Mohawk is located on 912 Red River, right on the corner of Red River and 10th. You can't miss it. Be sure to bring a little extra cash not only for the bar, but also to pick up your copy of Aguilas y Cobras. It goes on sale to everyone nationwide on September 15th. Go to the show, get it tonight. C'mon...when was the last time your Saturday night was this funky?

All The Funk You Need: Aguilas y Cobras by Brownout

Austin, Texas. What a great city for music. What many outside of Austin fail to realize is in between the madness of South By Southwest and ACL Fest, Austin has a plethora of locally based musical talent playing here on a daily basis. Austin is the city that is home to Spoon, Alejandro Escovedo, Black Joe and The Honeybears, The Sword, The Riverboat Gamblers and Grupo Fantasma just to name a few. Speaking of Grupo Fantasma, its funky little brother and Austin staple, Brownout, is releasing their new album this month. The follow up to Homenaje, the new Aguilas y Cobras album out does its predecessor by leaps and bounds.
