Remember that moment at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Indy has to pick the Holy Grail out of a sea of treasures? He picks the plainest cup in the room, and he hits the jackpot. Shows at Mohawk Place bring this scene to mind and, at its 15th Anniversary Party, you can celebrate this ordinary-looking club’s small stage, humble bar and infectious personality. It’s not flashy, just down-to-earth and full of energy, much like the bands that perform there. If you’re the kind of person that likes discovering new music before everybody else catches on, the ’Hawk is easily the best source in town. The anniversary show is jam-packed with local favorites, including The Irving Klaws, Wolf Tickets, The Missing Planes, Mark Norris and the Backpeddlers, The Old Sweethearts, The Rabies, Doombuggy and Semi-Tough. At least for a night, I’d suggest ditching the bright lights in favor of this little club off the beaten path. Take a lesson from the movie: If you’re like Dr. Elsa Schneider and value superficial things, you’ll fall into an abyss and die.
Sunday, November 27 at 6pm. Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. (855-3931). Free.
