Thursday - Free Mohawks

Thursday started off at a nice little Austin treasure- Birds Barbershop. There motto is something like Walk In and Rock Out. They specialize in 'rock' haircuts, and for their day show were providing free music, free beer, and free mohawks. And there were plenty of takers at the event.



We saw quite possibly the best 'find' of the week thanks to a recommendation by my buddy Royce. Bishop Allen was fantastic, and hopefully we'll see them again in the near future at Southgate House.


We also caught Mando Diao at Antone's, and the Annuals, before heading out for the evening showcases.

After dinner, we headed to the Lava Lounge Patio to see Austin Blues local Black Joe Lewis, who rocked out, and then caught some of the Sundresses, who had a great set. Also ran into Kari Wethington from CinWeekly at the show. She has a great review of the show, and some video footage on her blog.

We called it an early night after that and got ready for Friday and the always awesome Bloodshot Day Show at Yard Dog

Thank you Royce! Bird's was great. Not only did they have great music (Bishop Allen who has promised us they'd come to SGH), but also, they had a perfect setting. Bird's was a 'cool' place. And, kudos to their crew for selling t-shirts for a high school radio station.
As for the later shows...I dug Joe Black Lewis and it was great to hear a WHO DEY from the Sundresses. So, Cincinnati, but who cares, right?

ps. i am blogging on here b/c joe woudn't let me be a 'guest blogger'
