What Next?: Austinist Indieroke One Year Anniversary + Car Stereo (Wars) (New Year's Eve @ The Mohawk)
The previously advertised Austinist Indieroke, scheduled to take place last Saturday the 27th, has been moved to New Year's Eve! Join us on Wednesday starting at 9 p.m. and sing all your favorite ditties, and then head to the dance floor for some fine mash-ups courtesy of Car Stereo (Wars). All for $5! Champagne at midnight to boot.

2008 is coming to a close. From SXSW to Fun Fun Fun Fest, the Transmission community has been there for you all year. If you’re anything like me, the Red River district has served as a place to pacify your problems, party with your people, and otherwise let go. So why not ring in the New Year with some real friends and family – your drinking buddies and the bartenders who fuel you.

Austinist celebrates one year of Smiths and Sebadoah sing-a-longs at Mohawk. Indieroke inside, Car Stero (Wars) ouside. $5 gets you entry to the entire club and obligatory champagne toast at midnight.
