Concert by the psychedelic rock trio King Buffalo at The Mohawk in Austin.
King Buffalo play The Mohawk on Saturday, November 14, 2026. It's a single-act bill, so the whole night belongs to them.
They're a psychedelic trio that formed in September 2013 in the classic format—guitar, bass, and drums. The sound they've built around that is expansive and thunderous, and they describe it as a powerful concoction of heavy psych, blues, and stoner rock. If you're familiar with those labels, you have a good handle on what to expect: the heavy psych brings the long, winding jams; the blues provides the melodic root; and the stoner rock adds the weight and the low-end rumble. It's a combination that works best when it has room to stretch out, and a single-act bill gives them plenty of it.
Since they've been playing together since 2013, they've had over a decade to settle into that trio dynamic. That's a fair amount of time for three people to get on the same page, and it shows in how they build their songs—starting from a groove and layering on until the sound fills the room. The heavy psych side of things usually means they aren't afraid to let a song breathe and evolve rather than sticking to a tight radio edit, so the set will likely lean into those longer, more atmospheric stretches.
