Hey there, superstars!
So while most of us cant be in Austin ODing in music and Shiner Bock during next weeks SXSW, you can still get your music fill at the Knit. Sure Austin gets to shine and put on A LOT of shows for a brief period, but we put on 4300+ bands a year in NYC alone. Thats about 86,000 bands in our 20 year history. Wow!

Finnish Moosic Tour featuring: KTU (Pohjonen, Gunn, Mastelotto), 22-Pistepirkko, Lodger, Disco Ensemble
Main Space 7:30 PM
"KTU (pronounced K2") . avant-accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and drummer Pat Mastelotto and guitarist Trey Gunn from King Crimson. Their debut 8 Armed Monkey , recorded live in 2004, is a robust tumult of Northern Lights sparkle, white-wolf guitar wail and rolling knotted thunder. Pohjonen is a wonder unto himself: animating his wind song with pedals and processing; attacking the bellows with the ecstatic fury of Jimi Hendrix. When I saw KTU play in Europe recently, they were as powerful and transgressive as the current killer Crimson (without, of course, Robert Fripp). But I was stunned to discover, after the show, that KTU have yet to get an American gig, because, Gunn said, promoters are afraid of the word "accordion". People, look at it this way: Pohjonen plays the ultimate in air guitar. Now hit the phone." (David Fricke, Rolling Stone)

OOIOO (featuring Yoshimi from the Boredoms) I.U.D. (featuring Lizzie of Gang Gang Dance) )
Main Space 8:00 PM
As OOIOOs lineup evolved over four previous albums, so did its sound. New-wave poppy grooves gave way to chaotic plateaus and psychedelic freakouts on albums like KILA KILA KILA and Gold & Green. OOIOOs current manifestation has derived a rhythm-based sound scapes, spacious, spiritual and elevatory, intended as communication with the Earth and motivated by nature.
