Concert featuring The Suicide Machines, a Detroit hardcore and ska punk band, performing alongside Bad Operation at Mohawk Austin.
The Suicide Machines play Mohawk Austin on Wednesday, September 2, with New Orleans band Bad Operation opening. The Machines come from Detroit, Michigan, and they've spent their career blending punk and ska into something they describe as energetic—which is a polite way of saying they're a loud, fast-moving live act. If you've followed them, you know the sound: the driving pace of punk with the horn-driven swing of ska running through it. It's the kind of music that works best in a room like Mohawk, where the energy can build and the floor can actually move.
They aren't coming alone. Bad Operation opens the night, a band hailing from New Orleans. That gives the bill two cities on one stage—Detroit and New Orleans—and two different flavors of high-energy music to work through before the headliner takes over. Between the two, you've got a full evening of punk and ska, so it's a good night to get in early and catch both.
