The Movement in Austin

The Movement are a Danish mod-punk trio formed in Copenhagen in 2002 by singer and guitarist Lukas Scherfig. Their music draws on punk, ska and soul, and they are known for the albums Move! and Revolutionary Sympathies, as well as songs including “Control Your Temper” and “How Come?” The Movement have toured clubs and punk festivals across Europe. Their concerts use a three-piece guitar, bass and drums lineup led by Scherfig, and the band has also performed in Japan.

Mike Love is an American reggae singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Oahu, Hawaii. His roots-reggae songs draw on vocal harmonies, beatboxing and layered acoustic instrumentation; he is best known for “Permanent Holiday” and the album The Change I’m Seeking. A Sugarshack Sessions performance of “Permanent Holiday” documented the live-looping format central to his shows, as he builds parts from voice, guitar and percussion in real time. He has also presented the repertoire with a full band and performed at California Roots Music and Arts Festival in Monterey and Rototom Sunsplash in Benicàssim.
