Austin: Show Me the Body at Mohawk
October 7 @ 6:30 pm - 10:30 pm
$61
Show Me the Body bring their raw blend of hardcore, noise, and NYC grit to Mohawk in Austin on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, with doors at 6:30 PM. Tickets start at $61 for a night with one of underground rock’s most confrontational live acts, joined by WHISPERS and JIVEBOMB.
Formed in New York City, Show Me the Body built their reputation on a sound that fuses hardcore punk’s aggression with banjo, industrial noise, and hip-hop-adjacent rhythm — a combination that’s earned comparisons ranging from Suicide to Dead Kennedys while still sounding like nothing else in the current underground rock landscape. Albums like “Dog Whistle” and “Trouble the Water” have made frontman Julian Cashwan Pratt and the band’s DIY-rooted collective, Corpus, touchstones for a new generation of hardcore fans.
Mohawk’s indoor room, with its stage-level pit space, is built for exactly this kind of high-intensity show — expect a packed floor and a set that leans hard into the band’s reputation for chaotic, physically demanding live performances.
Beyond their own records, Show Me the Body has built a broader platform through their Corpus collective, spotlighting emerging hardcore and noise acts, and the band has become a fixture of festival lineups like Sound and Fury and Roadburn. Fans planning a full night out can also check out Stubb’s Bar-B-Q, another well-known Austin venue with regularly touring national acts.
Beyond any single show, Mohawk has built a reputation among touring artists and fans alike for pairing serious sound quality with a laid-back, unpretentious East Side atmosphere — the kind of room where a big production can still feel like a neighborhood show. The dual indoor-outdoor layout gives visitors flexibility to catch the full set from the stage-front crowd or hang back on the patio with a drink in hand, and the venue’s sound team has earned a name among touring crews for dialing in a mix that works for quiet, intricate songwriting and full-volume rock alike. It’s one of the venues most closely associated with Austin’s East Side music renaissance over the past two decades, and a regular stop for both emerging acts and established headliners passing through the city.
Doors open at 6:30 PM ahead of a 7:30 PM set. This is a standing-room, general-admission show with an active pit expected, so dress accordingly, and the venue’s outdoor patio bar offers a place to regroup between sets.
