I headed over the hill and through the canyon last night to check out my favorite South African imports the Parlotones- and as expected, they did NOT disappoint! Because at a Parlotones show you come to expect the unexpected, I showed up early to indulge in a little pre-show vice myself, and the Parlotones’ wine
One of my favorite parties from SXSW this year was the Hollerado nacho party served sizzling with plenty of homebrewed hot sauce and a side of extra chill vibes (damn I dig the Canadian music scene!) There’s no shortage of folk rock from these four Canadian kids and they’re semi-grunge infused tunes and tracks were
Friday of SXSW and I took a break from running back and forth across downtown Austin to make sure I was available to GPS my way on over for round 2 of Sideways Media’s Texas Tornado party! The entire lineup was totally kickass, but a couple groups stood out and A Silent Film was definitely
I swore up and down that I was going to take an entire week to recover for SXSW 6th street insanity- lay low, re-coup, etc. So that plan didn’t exactly work. In fact, I pretty much burned the paper with that plan written on it as soon as I heard Semi Precious Weapons were back

So day 198018 at SXSW and aside from wanting to amputate my feet from running back and forth between venues it couldn’t be better here in Austin!

Lauren here from the front lines of the insanity that is SXSW 2011, and lucky for me (and the rest of the Lustre Pearl attendees) Saint Motel gave us a sneak peek at some of their latest tunes and tracks, and aside from the expected pop rock audio awesomeness, their onstage acrobats made for one
So SXSW has officially kicked off- with mass amounts of music starting for all my fellow music fiends and friends alike. You pretty much know it’s SXSW music’s second day because most people are still thriving on redbull and out and about. Another indicative factor of SXSW is the lack of public transportation anywhere and
It’s Friday. You’ve been at SXSW for at least forty-eight hours now, and you’ve slept for about eight of them- in a non-consecutive manner. You’re finally getting ready to head to your 6th Street haunt, because the musical masochist in you is giving you a gentle reminder that you can sleep when you’re dead. So
