Friday Night Show Pick: T-Brid and the Breaks with Brownout!

 

T-Bird and the Breaks

Dear Austin,

It is time to get some soul in your life with a splash of funk. By Friday you will have had a long week.  You will be in need of some good back ground music to compliment your alcoholism. The best thing to do for yourself this Friday night is head to Antone's for T-Bird and the Breaks and Brownout. Trust me, only a lack of a pulse will keep you from enjoying this show. These are two of my favorite Austin groups. I own the Learn About It album from T-Bird on vinyl and it is in regular rotation during my commute around town. Enough said. Take a listen to the new T-Bird single right here on this widget.

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.

Brownout

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?
