You mean fashion can be more than tight jeans, plaid shirts and Ray Bans?  Whaaaa?  That’s right- come check out the Austin equivalent of all those shows on Bravo this Saturday at the Mohawk as Team Fabrication brings about their SIXTH installment of the music and fashion together in one big hot mess. In addition to a easy on the eyes runway show check out the tunes of some of the best acts Austin has to offer including Artifact Workshop’s own THE LAUGHING! Try and find something better to do on your Saturday night.  We dare you.

“Word on the street is that the Car Stereo (Wars) and Hood Internet show in Barry Obama’s home court of Chicago (Get it?  He loves basketball… and change) went splendidly and that the two acts complimented each other as expected; extremely well.  Houston- tonight is your chance to see ‘what it do’ and hear all your favorite drapped up and dripped out lyrics with the likes of MGMT and Of Montreal underneath them.  Know what I’m talking about?  Then Austin- you are next tomorrow night at Beauty Bar.  Opening the Austin show is the one-man-instant-electro-yacht-rocking party himself Neiliyo! So, come out early and stare into those dreamy old school Ray Bans.  The Hood Internet is a real treat to get to see live in the lonestar state so come out and show them some love.”

Pick up the Car Stereo (Wars)- full length album the Bandit HERE.

The Laughing opened for the Ting Tings at a sold out The Parish last Sunday the 19th. The Austin American Statesman was there and took these photos.

The Laughing played a crazy show with Monotronix last Thursday at the Mohawk.  Yes, they all survived the fires, sweating and beer pouring that went along with a wild and crazy show of that caliber.  They are headlining an Emo’s show this Thursday (October 16th) along with the Ovenbirds (ex Zykos and Gloria Record) Mike and the Moonpies and the War Against Sleep.  Be there for that.  Then get your Ting Tings tickets for Sunday night (October 19th) because the Laughing are opening that show!  This will be the band’s first time to play with an artist that has been nominated for a MTV video of the year award and probably not the last.  Buy your tickets in advance HERE!  (also- the photo was taken from recovering lazyholic’s flickr page)
