While we're on the subject of local bands putting on massive shows in May, another Austin-based indie-rock band, The Midgetmen, is celebrating EIGHT years as a band by throwing a badass party at Mohawk on Saturday, May 8th and it's sure to be a great time. Why?
Well, let's start with beer. The party is being sponsored by Pabst, so you know what that means…you'll be drinking FREE PBR all night. Also, Austin's favorite barbershop, Bird's, will be on the scene handing out vouchers for FREE haircuts. Go get your faux-hawk razored! Or you could just get a regular haircut too.
And there's still more! The Midgetmen has a great local lineup playing including Ringo Deathstarr, La Snacks, and The Gary, plus they have a special performance collaboration planned with members of La Snacks, The Gary, Treaty Oak, Calm Blue Sea, Team Fabrication, and Hard Proof Afrobeat. And word is The Midgetmen will also be debuting some new songs!
In addition to all of this, The Midgetmen are super-cool people and have done an amazing job of putting together this Anniversorry shindig. Eight years is quite an accomplishment, so if I were you, I wouldn't miss my chance to congratulate them with a celebratory PBR.
A whole weekend of local shows and big parties? What could be better?!
