On any given night Mohawk Austin is typically good for a little rough around the edges local punk or indie rock but this Tuesday is going to be a little sweeter. April Smith and the Great Picture Show will converge on Mohawk turning it in to her own personal jazz lounge. Smith boasts ageless big band sounds with vintage, swinging, ragtime beats complete with a brass section infused with modern blues and a pinch of pop. Think retro like Christina Aguilera’s “Candy Man” but done much classier and with much stronger staying power–the album is laden with hits from start until finish. Songs for a Sinking Ship is bar none my favorite album of the year.
