From The Mind Of Adi #88: What Next?

From The Mind Of Adi Residency Series Update

As announced previously, From The Mind Of Adi kicks off its residency series next month at The Mohawk. She Sir will headline both dates in March -- they will be supported by Spoiled Royals and Persian Wars on the 3rd, and by The Authors and Smoke and Feathers on the 31st. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for these early shows, with bands scheduled to take the stage at 7, 8, and 9 respectively. Bryan Keplesky’s poster art will be displayed at the kick-off event on the 3rd; Dániel Perlaky will showcase his designs on the 31st.

uLOVEi has partnered with me on this endeavor and will be filming the show on the 3rd. We’re planning on doing a short video recap with performance footage, interviews, and any other fun stuff we can catch on tape. You’ll want to get there early for complimentary Lone Star courtesy of Birds Barbershop and food from Frank. In addition to the all the fabulous drinks they typically offer, The Mohawk bar will be serving up some intriguing Daily Juice fueled concoctions. I’m also glad and grateful to have the support of my friends at Austinist as I get ready to launch this new series.

Be sure to connect to FTMOA via Facebook for news and updates.

THE FREE WEEK 2010 LINEUP IS HERE

So goddamn excited about this years Free Week (Notice how I capitalized "Free Week" and not "god?" It's THAT amazing a week!).

I started this bad boy some years ago (maybe 6 or so?) at Emos as a way to get people to come out during the slow time of the year when nobody was touring, as well as just bring something fun to do when everyone was still off work and the kids out of school for the end of the holidays. It grew from there within Emos, but for some reason, other clubs never really tried to do it. When I left Emos after being there almost a decade, I kept the ball rolling and started doing it at a number of venues, including some of Transmission's main rooms: Mohawk, Red 7, Club Deville, etc. Emos, of course, had continued to book it themselves and do their own version of Free Week and a few other clubs did a few free shows last year, but THIS year it seems like everyone has jumped in feet first, which is killer. Parish said they're doing free week, Stubbs mentioned maybe doing their inside room for free week, Beerland is doing some as well, Beauty Bar is free all week (djs AND live music), our rooms (Red 7, Mohawk, Deville) and others are all participating and now it really IS becoming our local version of Sxsw with all local bands playing up and down the street. You can pop into one room for an hour and run to another club to catch another band. Red River and beyond has become ground zero for the live music lovers of local music in town and it's a great way for them to showcase themselves and clubs to showcase their space as well....all with NO cost to the fans. It's a giant party and everyone is invited, which was always the points and really cool to see it happen this way! This thing seems unique to Austin. The same way 1st Thursday on South Congress and other sort of organic event happen in Austin around local businesses, press and artists, without the support of the city or support of a big business, this continues to keep happening in Austin and the reason we all move here and stay. Shit I was born here and still see no reason to leave. Events like this are part of that...

We thank the bands so much for donating their time and hopefully they'll have as much fun doing it as everyone else will. See you guys Jan 1st through Jan 10th!

The Aesop Rock show scheduled for tomorrow (Friday) is going to be postponed.  Good news is, people won't be standing in the snow and ice storm watching a band, bad news being no Aesop.

Let's please spread the word and also, let folks know that now have nothing to do, that Mohawk will still be open inside and we'll now be having a FREE show with the local openers that were scheduled to play: Starving Martyrs and Glitterbillies!  See ya tomorrow in the toasty inside room at Mohawk by the fireplace or near the stage.
