SXSW Review: Voxtrot, March 14, Mohawk

During their set at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase on Friday night, Voxtrot singer/guitarist Ramesh Srivastava thanked the longstanding blog for giving them a big boost in the early days that probably helped to cement their reputation as one of the quintessential bands of the blog rock era.

Voxtrot has long been a Panic Manual favourite. We caught the band a few times back in the day, but after releasing a handful of EPs and just one full length album, they broke up, Ramesh started a solo career, and it seemed like that would be it for the band. But no, they got back together a few years ago and we were lucky enough to catch them at Stubb’s back in 2023. Now two years later the band was back at SXSW and playing another legendary Austin venue, Mohawk. 

Taking to the stage following an intense and heavy set by UK punks Maruja, Voxtrot started things off strong with “Raised By Wolves” and kept the good vibes going from there with more classic tunes like “The Start of Something” alongside a handful of newer tracks that the band have released over the past couple of years. As longtime fans, this was one of our most anticipated shows at SXSW this year and Voxtrot did not disappoint. And the fact that there are new Voxtrot songs being released is a good sign that there’s a chance of them putting out a new album at some point. Could this be … the start of something? Let’s hope so.
