Known for its gorgeous Alpine countryside, its intellectual and artistic pursuits -- and of course, its pastries -- Austria is also historically and currently home to an active music scene. This embassy event, co-sponsored by Professionals in the City, celebrates that movement with a screening of Vinyl: Tales from the Vienna Underground, a documentary exposing that city's cutting-edge experimental and electronic music scene. That's followed by a live set by The Happy Kids, an Austrian indie band featuring Boy (Al Bird) on fuzz organ and girl (Ana Threat) on surf guitar. Guests will also enjoy a dinner buffet of the country's favorite dishes -- with apple strudel for dessert -- along with an open bar of Austrian wine and other non-alcoholic beverages. Learn More

Description
Jaguares originally formed in 1985 as Caifanes but due to a legal dispute in 1996, the band changed its name to Jaguares. Jaguares has released 11 albums and sold more than 15 million copies to date. Since their inception, the band has collaborated and/or toured with many artists including Morrissey, The Rolling Stones, Tigres del Norte, Peter Gabriel and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jaguares released their highly anticipated new studio album 45 on September 2008 to critical and popular acclaim. 45 was certified gold in February 2009 and, on November 5th, Jaguares won two Latin Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album by a Duo or a Group with Vocal.
As Latin alt-rock's most durable gods, Jaguares have found poetry in darkness, strength in musical mystery and in Mexican tradition. Jaguares is a band that plays with the same passion and devotion for 120,000 fans in the Zócalo of Mexico City, a small club in Paris, a cultural event in Oaxaca or an amphitheatre in Los Angeles. The band has proven time and time again that they can sell out venues without a new single on the radio or a new record in stores. With virtually no radio airplay or TV exposure in the U.S., Jaguares continue to tour the states and consistently perform to capacity crowds across the country.
Jaguares make music born of the present but rooted in the spirits of the past, music that when performed live is far more than a concert—it's a communal ritual between thousands of singing strangers. The candles are lit, the priests take the stage and in the space of a single evening, the concert becomes a holy rock-and-roll ceremony.
