“PICTURES: Red Bull Locally Thrown at the Mohawk, December 10th, 2009″

Last Thursday, we headed out to the Mohawk for Red Bull’s Locally Thrown, an event the had some of our favorite Austin DJ’s remixing some of our favorite Austin bands.  If my excitement didn’t come out in our interview with DJ Manny and the Riverboat Gamblers, then let me make it clear: OMG! I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS PARTY!!!

Since the DJ’s were mixing their remixed trax throughout the night, we got there early so that we could hear them all. The beats were pretty intense-like wobble your body fat phat beats. Each DJ had a very diverse style, so it wasn’t really a surprise that the remixes ranged from dub-heavy to house.  And when the crowd heard an Austin band’s song, there was a celebratory WOOOO that sorta emerged from the dancers.

For me, this party was so cool because not only did I get tot HEAR my favorite DJ’s playing my favorite bands, but I got to SEE them all in one place. I mean, at one point I was standing in a circle with members of The Black and White Years and The Story Of-they were taking shots for each remix they hear.  Then I shared a drink with the Riverboat Gamblers, only to turn around and hear Yvonne from the Octopus Project singing a Japanese pop song.  It was FREAKING AMAZING!!

By the end of the night, the Mohawk’s courtyard was like a giant dance party!  Anyone and everyone was dancing.  My memory is a little fuzzy, but I swear I saw Fadi from the Riverboat Gamblers drop down into a headspin and then roll up into some kick-a flares! It was nappy!

SEE: After the jump, check out pictures (click to enlarge) of some of the people we ran into at the event, and watch a 45-second video snippet of the dance party.

OH YEAH: Don’t forget to nominate these Austin bands and others for our Austin music awards, the Roaries.
