But that decision-making process isn't all that's going on at the Mohawk, as the opening acts are at least as intriguing as the headliner, if not more so. Frightened Rabbit, a promising quartet hailing from Selkirk, Scotland, bring a jangly and galloping sound that brings to mind American indie-folk band The Fruit Bats, or (for better or worse) Irish stadium-rockers and world-healers U2. Surely, though, they are catchy and enjoyable, and not afraid to throw in a few musical surprises mid-song.
Far more familiar than either of those bands, and starting the night off right, is the always-steady and satisfying Zykos. The joyous five-piece, whose energetic sound and sloppy vocals make them one of Austin's most well-liked groups, someday in the future may be widely considered the highlight of this lineup.




Frightened Rabbit are the highlight for me. They're also doing an instore at End of an Ear at 6 pm.
this show is going to be awesome!!
