Made it back from SXSW in one piece…Talk about an intense and quick few days.
Highlights were Rhett Miller, Black Angels, Sleepy Sun, and a band from San Fran called Soft White 60′s. Jack White’s showcase had a 3 hour line down 6th st, so missed that one.
Best of all, we made some friends and ran into old and new music contacts. The music business is A LOT different these days, and we’re looking at things from a different angle. Still, there is no substitute for a good live rock show!!
And I have to say, most every band we saw had their act together; song wise, performance wise , attitude, the whole deal. If you haven’t been to SXSW or its been a while, try to make it next year. It has changed a bunch….for the better and worse. But there’s a ton great bands to be discovered…who knows, you may run into us.
Black Angels. A few feet from the stage, these guys were loud and tight.
