On October 30, Grupo Fantasma celebrates fifteen years together with a show at the Mohawk, which also doubles as an album-release party for the Austin band’s phenomenal new record Problemas. And KUTX is celebrating Grupo throughout October as the Artist of the Month. Get a free download from Problemas here and catch the band live in Studio 1A on Tuesday, October 20 at 9 p.m.
