Megafaun @ Mohawk on 4/10/2012

As just mentioned on BrooklynVegan (where you can also download two tracks), Field Report is the project of Chris Portfield, the remaining ex-member of DeYarmond Edison who didn't go on to form Bon Iver or Megafaun. Field Report made their live debut at SXSW in Austin, where they played Hotel Vegan (pics of that HERE) and followed it with a tour with Megafaun. That tour brought the band back to Austin on 4/10 for a show at Mohawk with Dana Falconberry. More pictures from that show, below...

Dana Falconberry @ Mohawk on 4/10/2012

Dana Falconberry, who played a "secret show" last night (4/24), opened for Field Report and Megafaun back on 4/10 at the Mohawk, the same venue she will play with Father John Misty & Har Mar Superstar in May. Meanwhile catch her play a free show inside Stubb's after Timber Timbre and Feist this Thursday (4/26). Check her site for even more tour dates.

Here are some pictures from her 4/10 Mohawk set. More of them and a video (that will allow you to hear her sweet voice), below...

"Who knew @Megafaun would be the highlight of Super Bowl? Didn't see that coming. Big smiles." - Kathleen Edwards

Megafaun @ Bowery Ballroom in 2011 (more by Ryan Barkan)

North Carolina psych-folk band Megafaun (not to be confused with Megafauna who are playing Mohawk Tuesday night) are playing Mohawk on April 10th, with Field Report. Advanced tickets are are on sale.

Though they're playing shows around Europe now, Megafaun will be back in the states in March, with the Mohawk show toward the end of their 2012 North American tour which also includes a quite large NYC show at Highline Ballroom and FESTIVAL EN EL BARRIO in Tucson with CALEXICO, GRUPO FANTASMA, SERGIO MENDOZA Y LA ORKESTRA, AND MORE.

And even while they're overseas, the band is gaining stardom in living rooms across the U.S. Though most probably didn't recognize it (like Ryan Matteson did), their song, "Hope You Know", was used in a Toyota commercial which aired during the Super Bowl last night.

Too bad their Austin show isn't later in April because they could maybe have met up with their friend and former bandmate, Justin Vernon, as Bon Iver is apparently set to do a taping for Austin City Limits on April 25th.
