A Very Smooth Indieroke: A Yacht Rock Hoot Night [That's What a Fool Believes]

In the grand tradition of Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac and Christopher Cross, Austinist is proud to present a very special Indieroke, featuring local bands covering their favorite smooth tunes. We'll still be doing karaoke as usual, but the list will be an abbreviated version, comprised of only smooth music.

On Wednesday, May 27 at the Mohawk, we'll be there costumed and all, ready to serve you up with the finest the gentle have to offer, complete with prizes ($1 bin records, t-shirts, boat shoes), a photobooth to capture your amazing costumes, drink specials (Never Ending Story is MD 20/20 shot, Gold Dust Woman is a Goldschlager shot, Don't Stop Believin' = Red Bull & Vodka), and of course, some Yacht Rock on the projector. Mark your calendar: this one's going to be a doozy.

• Are you in a band that's hankerin' to wow us with your version of "House at Pooh Corner"? Feel like the smooth movement should be represented by your rendition of "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)"?
• Are you a karaoke addict who wants to make sure we'll have your song for you when you get there?
• Do you have a suggestion for a really smooth drink special?
• Have you won a previous Indieroke contest and want priority sign-in privileges?
• None of your roommates will listen to you cover "Why Worry" anymore?
