    Local Music Is Sexy at Mohawk Patio

    Always a useful barometer of what's happening in Austin music, the pre-festival placement of Austinist's semi-annual Local Music Is Sexy showcases also serves as a reminder that there's exciting live music in town every weekend of the year. This eighth edition spreads the Red River Class Of 2009 across Club de Ville and both stages of the Mohawk, offering headlining spots to the fuzz-and-jangle of TV Torso, noir-ish desert wanderers The Low Lows, and lo-fi pop savants Watch Out For Rockets. Beautiful Supermachines' slack pop, the faux-British Invasion sounds of Black Before Red, and The Authors' razor-edged post-punk fill out the lineup at de Ville, while the night's ebb and flow is set in motion early at the Mohawk via choppy International Waters, The Distant Seconds' moody elegance, noisy post-rock from Air Traffic Controllers, and Silent Land Time Machine's evocative, layered instrumentals.
