It’s a free show Wednesday night at the Mohawk outside for those over 21. And, unlike most of the bars on and around 6th street, they shouldn’t need a barker to shout, “Live music! No cover! $2 shots!” (We can’t vouch for the third one). It’s going to be a free night of electro-freak indie fun.

First up, The Laughing. A great name for a band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Bringing the art rock with synth, glockenspiel and some sax solos by way of sleeveless shirts, popped collars and even a mask or two is either them having a laugh or their super-eccentric way of expressing their inner whatever. Either way, it’s pretty amusing. They also have a few videos on Myspace that feature their teary-eyed white tiger emblem that are really pretty funny.

Then, it’s on to Loxsly, who are still in the process of releasing their latest album in all its indie pop glory, no doubt supported by playful electronic ‘beeps’ and ‘blips’. They even do a cover “I Don’t Want to Get Over You,” a Magnetic Fields song off Volume One of their 69 Love Songs album. From then until the wee hours of the night, it’s headliners Sound Team with a whole mess of pretty and persuasive indie rock.
