A Rage Against the Machine tribute show featuring Austin alt-rock acts Neapolitan and Mimiclou.
The Battle of ATX is playing Mohawk on Saturday, August 29, and they're bringing along Neapolitan and Mimiclou. The headliner is a Rage Against the Machine tribute, so the night is built around that sound.
What makes this one a bit more than a standard tribute night is the lineup. The show is billed as a reunion bringing together Neapolitan and Mimiclou, two Austin acts that have their own history in the city's alt-rock scene. Neapolitan is described as the city's original alt-rock powerhouse, and Mimiclou is called Austin's original 90s alt-rock revival act. Both bands come from the same side of the fence as the music they're playing, so the whole bill stays in that loud, guitar-driven territory.
Between the two of them, you've got a good chunk of the city's alt-rock lineage on one stage. Neapolitan brings the powerhouse side of things, and Mimiclou leans into the 90s revival sound, so the night should hold together well from start to finish. The Battle of ATX takes the lead with the Rage Against the Machine tribute, and the other two fill out the bill.
