Carcass, Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich, Creeping Death [outside]
With all due respect to groove metal rabble-rousers Sacred Reich, crossover keg-standers Municipal Waste, and British goregrind legends Carcass, I’d like to dedicate this space to Mohawk lineupmates Creeping Death. John Darnielle couldn’t have realized it in 2002, but the Mountain Goats’ track “The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton” prophesied the absolute triumph of these DFW-area riff warriors. Tossing pit-ready hardcore breakdowns, buzzy Gothenburg guitar tones, and the slam-happy gallop of mid-tempo thrash together in one blood-soaked bender, Creeping Death might be the best ever death metal band from Texas, full stop.Mon., April 3, 6:30pm -

Camiba Gallery: discards vessels fragments
This noteworthy new exhibition at Camiba Gallery features the works of 1) Jason Webb, an Austin-based artist who spends his Sundays driving through unfamiliar neighborhoods and photographing once private possessions now publicly disowned, then painting individual piles isolated against white backgrounds; 2) San Antonio-based Benjamin McVey, whose new paintings of vessels represent the artist’s search for quiet space, simplicity, focus and purpose in today’s increasingly complex post-pandemic world; and 3) Austin's own Rebecca Rothfus Harrell, who documents states of flux across the country, reinterpreting remnants of structures that have a history but no longer serve their intended purpose.Through April 15 -
