Shapes Have Fangs, Smoke & Feathers, & The Ripe play (free) at Mohawk 08.06

This show, "Curated by: The Black Angels", at The Mohawk this Saturday night for free (with RSVP here) will include Austin's own Shapes Have Fangs, Smoke and Feathers, The Ripe.  This will be a night of free, local, southern psychedelic folk/rock from musicians you have no choice but to go check out and listen to whether you heard of them or not. (It's free so why the hell not?)

Vice Magazine and Vitamin Water have teamed up to present "Uncapped Live" at The Mohawk, with an open bar of Corona's (9pm-10pm), after making a Dallas stop & 13 other cities across the country. Other cities included in the tour were/will be Cincinnati, San Francisco, San Diego, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, Gainesville, Philly, New York, and more. Curators included The Thermals, The Black Lips, Against Me!, The Love Language, and The Soft Pack.

Shapes Have Fangs, signed to The Reverberation Appreciation Society (Austin Psych Fest artists), have been a local favorite of mine for 3 1/2 years now. I love their 50's throwback sound that reminds me of psychedelic surf rock. I am excited to see they are headlining this small showcase and will be thrilled to hear Smoke Like Feathers and The Ripe. Give me obscurity and droned out psychedelic sounds.
