On Wednesday, December 14th, I’m super stoked to present The Couch’s CD Release show at The Mohawk. You can check out their new single “The Way You Came” via BandCamp. The talented local outfit formed in San Marcos during the founding members’ time at Texas State University. Now based out of Austin, they recorded Old and Touchin’ Blue with Lars Goransson at Sounds Outrageous Studio.
They’ll be preceded on stage this evening by fellow San Marcos transplants Zlam Dunk and Little Radar. Doors at 8p.m.; cover is $6 ($8 for minors).
If love you dogs and Iggy Pop (and you should), come down to the 29th St. Ballroom on December 17th. I Wanna Be Your Dog II, a benefit for Austin Pets Alive, features a dog pageant hosted by Mike Wiebe, complimentary treats from Frank, and plenty of classic Stooges tunes as covered by a whole host of local bands. And hold off on your holiday shopping until you take a stab at the stellar items up for grabs in the silent auction. There’s also a raffle where you could win two wristbands to SXSW. Doors at 8 p.m.; chaperoned pets welcome.
