Because if they had begun on time, I would surely have missed the incredible show that DIANA put on to open the night. After freeing up from an appointment run long, I arrived at Mohawk about three songs into DIANA’s set, gleefully surprised that I hadn’t missed the band I badly wanted to catch.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DIANA_091313-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10279" alt="DIANA_091313-2" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DIANA_091313-2-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DIANA_091313-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DIANA_091313-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DIANA_091313-2-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>At center stage, lead singer Carmen Elle commanded the attention of the crowd, leaning out over fans as she swayed dazedly to the sexy sounds of her band. Alternating between a guitar slung over her shoulder and completely unadorned of instruments, Elle’s persona dominated the set as concertgoers danced to DIANA’s jazz-tinged arrangements. Elle appeared entranced by her own music, and so were we.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-2.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-10266" alt="Austra_091313-2" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-2-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-2-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Later in the evening, Austra took the stage surrounded by umbrella-like light diffusers illuminated in a ghostly blue. The silhouettes of frontwoman Katie Stelmanis and her band were backlit by panning LED lights that alternated between green, blue, and yellow. Austra has been garnering acclaim and fans for the past few months leading up to and following the release of their new album, <em>Olympia</em>. The band impressed concertgoers at The xx’s show at The Moody Theater earlier this year, but their show at Mohawk superseded that performance. As the headlining act, performing to an avid fanbase, Austra seemed more in their element and the night progressed to become an all out dance party. Stelmanis’s voice in a live setting loses none of the power that it possess recorded, perhaps clearest on fan favorites and singles such as “Lose it” and “Home.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10272" alt="Austra_091313-8" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-8-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-8-120x120.jpg 120w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Austra_091313-8-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>What’s certain is that Austra’s art pop built on powerful vocals, synths, and beats carries with it accessibility but remains fresh and distinctive. This is a band on the cusp of wider success. Tune in.</p> <p>All photos © Bryan Parker & Pop Press International.

I hadn’t seen Centro-matic in years, and the prospect of the show had me reminiscing memories from around the time I moved to Austin in 2001. As eccentric band leader Will Johnson ripped into the first chord of Centro-matic’s first song, pangs of nostalgia shot through my body and split my face in half with a wide grin.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Centro-matic-10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5904" title="Centro-matic-10" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Centro-matic-10-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Centro-matic-10-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Centro-matic-10-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Johnson and his band proceded to rock out, sounding incredibly tight and polished. I guess this is the unavoidable result of making music your life and working together as a band for almost two decades. Not familiar enough with the band’s more recent discography, I couldn’t tell if any of the songs were material from the album the band purported has begun or will begin to work on very soon. What’s for sure is the palpable elation that surged through the crowd when Johnson tore into fan favorite “Calling Thermatico” from 2006’s <em>Fort Recovery</em>. The songs definitely claimed its spot as the set’s high point.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Frank_Smith-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5917" title="Frank_Smith-6" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Frank_Smith-6-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Frank_Smith-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Frank_Smith-6-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>Before Centro-matic performed their outstanding set, up-and-comers Frank Smith performed a solid set of their own. The band has always tended toward a country rock sound, but indications are that their upcoming album will eschew some of that twang and opt for a more streamlined approach. On Friday, at the Mohawk, Frank Smith proved as powerful and rocking as they ever have, ensuring that this band will continue to garner praise and gain notoriety. Previously, stalwart Austin rock outfit Moonlight Towers opened the night, performing a show for the first time in what seems like a long while. Although, I did hear a rumor that the band expect to beging to play out more often.</p> <p><a href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Love_Inks-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-5923" title="Love_Inks-3" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Love_Inks-3-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Love_Inks-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Love_Inks-3-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></a>With such a strong lineup, it’s hard to believe that the night wasn’t over when show on the outside stage came to a close. Electronic loops wonder Roger Sellers had already performed inside, swaying and dancing, clad in large headphones, and Love Inks was a few songs into their set when Centro-matic concluded. The aftershow is becoming increasingly popular in Austin, but it’s always difficult to predict exactly what the reception and turnout will be. Thanks to Friday night and a strong bill, the house stayed packed. Love Inks continue to get great gigs and grow in the Austin scene. We’re big fans of the band who recently played at the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Show Preview: No Play Music New Year’s Eve at Cheer Up Charlie’s" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2012/12/07/show-preview-no-play-music-new-years-eve-at-cheer-up-charlies/">No Play Music and Pop Press International sponsored New Years Eve show</a></span>.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5927" title="Onuinu-1" src="http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Onuinu-1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Onuinu-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Onuinu-1-50x50.jpg 50w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></p> <p>Onuinu closed the night with a great set by Dorian Duvall. I caught Onuinu <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Y△CHT Live at the Mohawk in Austin" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2012/06/15/yacht-live-at-the-mohawk-in-austin/">opening for YACHT</a></span> a few months ago and was surprised to find a full band. On Friday, Duvall came alone, but sounded no less full. Sometimes a modestly sized room is just what a show needs. Crowded but not packed, the room was permeated by the Duvall’s forceful bass and upbeat songs. With these six great bands all improbably playing on the same night, the Mohawk was the place to be on Friday.</p> <p>All photos below © Bryan Parker & Pop Press International.

I can still vividly recall the man at the center of it all, the prolific and unpredictable Will Johnson, sitting solitary in a chair on the small indoor stage at the old Emo’s as a tiny amp broadcast the sounds of his electric guitar. I’m looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow night at the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.mohawkaustin.com" target="_blank">Mohawk</a></span>. Centro-matic has been fairly quiet in recent months, but us lucky Texas residents are being treated to a handful of regional shows that come with the promise that Centro-matic will soon be back at work recording their next full-length. I couldn’t recommend going to this show more. Get there early and be there for the long haul. Opening for Centro-matic will be the excellent Frank Smith and Moonlight Towers. As if these three weren’t reason enough, the indoor after show features the outstanding pop of Onuinu and local acts <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Band Spotlight: Love Inks" href="http://www.poppressinternational.com/2012/12/19/band-spotlight-love-inks/">Love Inks</a></span> and Roger Sellers. Go to the Mohawk tomorrow! I will see you there. Streams from the aforementioned bands found below.
