It’s officially the right time to catch Mockjaw, who’s one summer into impressing Red River indie rockers with bustling jazz jams, polishing a debut single, and fresh off a Local Live recording with collegiate tastemakers KVRX. Not to mention, this show’s free on the Patrizi’s pasta-assisted Butterfly Bar stage. Guitarist/vocalist Sloan Hill, drummer Collin McCord, and keyboardist KindKeith (known for their own enlivening soul/pop project) all met in UT jazz school. Busy Austin bassist Tanner Hoyt joins the snappy, twinkly new effort. Embodying their mellow genre linkage, Keith promises a cover of Aussie art rockers Jaala’s 2018 “Good Circuit” via text: “We love playin jazz and fusion music and that’s most of what we write, but we’ve been covering […] this weird indie rock song that’s been fitting into the set really well.”
