SXSW 2011 Saturday
Woke up too late to do all the things I was supposed to do. Made peace with myself and headed out to the KVRX show outside of Domy Books. This one was really awesome. Thank god I made it in time to see the last song Robert Ellis performed. He’s a kid from my home town who moved to Houston and became a sort of local legend. There’s even a drink named after him at Mango’s, a cafe/venue. His music [...]
SXSW 2011 Friday
I was feeling pretty lazy due to yesterday’s injury combined with hospital prescribed painkillers. But I got over it and rode my bike to the Victory Grill on 11th Street, where KVRX was having a punk show. I got there just in time to see the epic last song of Female Demand’s set. Unstoppable Death Machines joined them on drums. Basically, three dudes were playing percussion instruments and one was hunched on the floor making experimental wailing sounds with electronic [...]
SXSW 2011 Thursday
Clearly thinking negative thoughts will bring negative consequences. This week is literally trying to kill me. Thursday morning I was hit by a car. Nothing too serious but so scary. Have you ever rolled off of anyone’s windshield before? It’s oddly comical. I escaped with minor bruises/cuts and one sprained knee. Although bicycle is the best form of transportation during the festival, don’t leave your safety precautions at home. Please wear your helmet no matter how dorky it makes you [...]
SXSW 2011 Wednesday
I woke up feeling awful probably due to my 5am bedtime. This week is clearly going to kill me. At around 12:30pm I rode my bike to Waterloo Records to catch Morning Teleportation. They’re a young band with a lot of heart. For some reason they’ve got that psychedelic thing going on mixed with a style of folk punk. Isaac Brock from Modest Mouse signed MT to his label, Glacial Pace. Across the street from Waterloo is Whole Foods, so I [...]
SXSW 2011 Tuesday
After a couple relaxing hours of gardening, I decided it was time to venture into the craziness that is South by Southwest. First on today’s agenda was to attend the Ice Cream Man party at Club DeVille. Rode my bike over to experience free ice creams and great sounds provided by Screaming Females. There is only one female out of the trio, Marissa Paternoster, but she does scream. It’s more like a really intense high-pitched growl. She’s got mad shredding skills and is probably [...]
