    HONKTX! Winter Fundraiser Ball w/ Moon Tower Brass Band, Minor Mishap Marching Band, the Numbers, Yes Ma'am Brass Band

    The local community street band’s big, free hoopla isn’t until the end of March, but the brassy crew is looking to raise some funds to make sure it’s up to their particular (and often peculiar) standards. Dress up (not formal, just let your freak flag fly) and get treated to four bands that add a healthy dose of eccentricity to their signature sounds. Kids are free, students are $5, and everyone else is on a sliding scale, but be generous to this Austin institution that makes “weird” look effortless. – James Renovitch
    Sun., Feb. 16, 6pm. $10-$20 sliding cover. $5 for students w/ ID. Kids 9 & under enter free.

    Chat Pile, Nightosphere, Gouge Away [outside]

    “Hammers and grease;” “more screaming than you’d think” – Raygun Busch opened Chat Pile’s 2022 debut God’s Country with exactly the type of gnarly imagery you’d expect from a sludge metal quartet. October follow-up Cool World isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, of course, but the pseudonymed OKC rockers did infuse the LP with catchier melodies, especially on indie-leaning track two, “Shame.” As guitarist Luther Manhole explained in a press release, “I wanted it to sound like you’re at a party during the apocalypse.” Dismal current events in mind, that’s an apt description. Gouge Away and Nightosphere open this timely Mohawk get-together. – Carys Anderson
