    HONK!TX day one

    Dozens of local, regional, and even international brass bands marauding through some of Austin finest parks filled with families, students, and Austin musicians might as well be called Pied Piper Fest for its loyalty among homegrown music freaks. Totally free and unfailingly funky, it’s only weird in that it doesn’t occur in every city from here to Manitoba. Ascending ATX crew Big Wy’s Brass Band – led by Chronicle senior ad rep Jerald Corder’s son Wyatt – can already be considered HONK!TX veterans.: “Our first honk experience was in 2015, when we were still seniors in high school and played at the Snack Bar on South Congress and in Pan Am Park as well,” writes in Wyatt. “We didn’t know what we were getting into, since we had never played a festival before, let alone a hippie DIY brass band festival. It was a real culture shock to how quirky people can be.”: Brass bands, too, seeing as Big Wy’s horn blowers were soon covering Dr. Dre classic “The Next Episode” for a small throng at Saturday’s main attraction in Adams Park (out back of Spider House), where crews round robin all the grass corners.: “I love hip-hop and rap, and have always tried to integrate that influence into Big Wy’s,” explains the trumpet-bearing bandleader. “HONK!TX is really special because every band is comprised of people that are playing music just for the love of it, and all of the volunteers working it are really down-to-earth people that are happy to help. I’d say for the first-time attendee to keep an open mind and mix and mingle with some of the most wackiest and genuine people in the world.”

      North American Space Ritual day one w/ Alan Davey's Ace of Spades (Motörhead tribute), Spaceseed, 3rd Ear Experience, ST 37

      South by Southwest dominates spring in Austin, but March also hosts a mini festival of a very distinct bent. Organized by Athens, Ga., superfan Matt Callen, North American Space Ritual 2019 presents members of Hawkwind and related acts for two days of space rock mania, including former ’wind bassist Alan Davey and his Motörhead tribute band Ace of Spades, Austin’s own ST 37, and more. Most significantly, the event boasts headliners Moonhawks, a mothership tribute starring Davey, ex-Hawkwind saxophonist/Space Ritual principal Nik Turner, and science fiction author and ’wind collaborator Michael Moorcock. “Those guys are the spirit of Hawkwind from the days we would rather do a free benefit gig than take a paid TV gig,” the British-born, Bastrop-based Moorcock emails. “I loved the feeling of those good times – the best of the Sixties and Seventies ethic – [with] a strong sense of equality between band and audience. Very similar to the Grateful Dead gigs.” Moorcock, who’s been a musician since the Fifties, became acquainted with Hawkwind “pretty much from the start,” his most collaborative project being 1975’s Warrior on the Edge of Time. “I went into the studio and performed some of the material I’d do onstage when [Hawkwind leader Bob Calvert] couldn’t do it. It took me half a day, one take for each number.” Saturday’s Moonhawks show will be Moorcock’s last live performance: “I’m in my 80th year and I have serious neuropathy, so can only play harmonica, but I bet I can belt out a few of my favorites – like ‘Sonic Attack’!” Read the full Michael Moorcock Q&A at austinchronicle.com/daily/music.

      Grupo Fantasma (album release), Tomar & the FCs, Bourgeois Mystics [outside]

      “I, too, am America,” wrote Langston Hughes, and Grupo Fantasma echoes the sentiment on American Music Vol. VII. Proving cumbia every bit as American as apple empanadas, the seventh album from the near-20-year vets finds the brassy Austin ninepiece mixing funk, salsa, merengue y más, more sophisticated than ever. Soul providers Tomar & the FCs – whose frontman joins Ozomatli, Locos Por Juana, and Jaime Ospina of Superfónicos as LP guests – open in support along with art-funk weirdos Bourgeois Mystics.
