There's not a lack of things to do tonight in Austin, but we'd be remiss to overlook our local darlings in Shearwater. After a busy 2008 touring the U.S. and abroad to support their latest Matador release, Rook (along with a jaunt opening for Coldplay), the ornithologically-obsessed Meiburg & Co. perch (sorry, couldn't help it) on the outside stage tonight at the Mohawk. They'll be joined by Black Before Red, who appear to not be on their unofficial hiatus any longer. Recent addition Brian Cassidy (ex-Okkervil) will perform with the group, as will Shearwater's Kevin Schneider. We look forward to hearing new material from them, as well as Brazos, who are apparently not broken up anymore. It's a fun night of emotive Rhodes-drenched modern folk and pop rock tonight on Red River, and everything starts at 9, so be prompt.
