Free Week at the Mohawk is featuring both the outside and inside stages will be packed with an army of bands. From psychedelic rock to turntabalism, the Mohawk should have you covered, and less money at the door means more for booze!
Psst: Looking for Emo's listings? Check here, and stay tuned for more free event listings downtown all week right here. For a condensed and comprehensive list immediately, check out the Ist List.
Tuesday:
The inside room continues hosting bands with excellent names, which inclues Frantic Clam and Perfect Pants, alongside Colour Wheel and Baby Robots. For whatever reason this night is billed as the “Mohawks, Mullets and Rattalis night,” so if you enjoy either terrible/terribly ironic haircuts or spazzy funk, this lineup has your number.
Wednesday:
Things take a turn for the loud and unruly this evening, featuring stompin’ three piece Tia Carerra, The Strange Attractors, the psychedelic sounds of The Tunnels, and Che Arthur. Droning space-rock fans, you are being paged.
Thursday:
On Thursday, free week again expands to both the inside and outdoor stages, with The Homopolice, Air Traffic Controllers and Dikes of Holland playing indoors. This is sure to be an intense show, especially given The Homopolices’ tendency for abrasive noise and live theatrics. And Air Traffic Controllers, with a line-up featuring Gerard Cosloy and King Coffee, is like a page out of alt-rock history. Outside, you can see the powerpop of Basic, Ripe and the head-turning garage of The Golden Boys.
Friday:
Outside is a weird-pop amalgam of talented bands, including the surrealistic Moth!Fight!, peppy and muscular Golden Bear, and, now with 100% fewer neon signs, The Laughing. DJ Richard Henry will also be on hand to sling tunes.
Inside, Lucy the Poodle is putting on her own show, with retro specialists The Ugly Beats, Death is not a Joyride, the Kinky Dans La Lune, and Many Birthdays.
Saturday:
Saturday is folksy outside, with Brazos, Frank Smith, and The Lovely Sparrows performing. Meanwhile a more footloose indie celebration takes place inside with School Police, Transmography and Moses and the Burning Bush.
So, plan accordingly, but no matter your preference, you’ll find a glut of talented local artists on any night.

Understatement of the year, thus far!!
Wednesday's lineup looks crushing.
Homopolice have to cancel their Thursday appearance due to "serious family health complications," according to a myspace bulletin, but will return Feb 13.
