Now I know the site has been quiet for sometime but that’s because we only fire this thing up for special occasions, i.e., SXSW ACL, FFFFest, etc. And the Anniversary of one of Austin’s best bars is right up there with full on drunk-fest festival. And let me tell me you they way they serve here rivals the B.A.C. levels during any one of t

So far Day 1 of the music portion of SXSW 2011 was a success. Started the night off at the British Music Showcase at Latitude 30. The band that played was Wolfgang, they were fun a kind of dance rock with a british twist. Next on the list was 512 Bar, and let me tell under normal circumstance I would never set foot in this place. I prefer my bars dark and falling apart, but none-the-less the two bands we caught there, Mazes and Getty lane, were pretty good. Mazes is this kind of lo-fi, low key rock, and Getty lane is a drone-y shoegaze-esque two piece. Finished the night out at palm door/Beauty bar where we met the guy in headliner photo. He had stickers and underwear on, smelled of menthol, piss and pabst. Which leads me to my last note on night one SXSW Music. Pace yourselves people, we still have three days, and the locals don’t take to being accosted by a foul smelling drunk wearing nothing but stickers.

Mmmm crazy Japanese bands, and their devoted crazy fans. Between Dj orion and the insanity that is Peelander Z, Beauty bar had one hell of a SXSW 2011 kick-off Party. Okay, now that things are updated it’s time for a nap, stay tuned for more SXSW updates.

It’s South by SouthWest here in Austin, and let me tell you, I am so damn tired and hungover. The worst part about today is I have absolutely nothing to blog about and only two shows to update on here. From what I remember the party 4 the people was quite awesome, thanks to the mohawk for putting on such a great party.

Ah another year, another crazy holiday party at The Side Bar, life would not be complete without the debauchery of this yearly event. Thanks to everyone who came out. Cheers to Trey, Soo, and the entire Side Bar staff for keeping up the yearly tradition of awesome service, proper drinks, and just being all around awesome.

4 years later and still going strong, last nights party was Awesome with a capital “A”. The house was packed, the tequila was flowed, and the money-makers shook. It was one hell of a night, and did I mention it was also Cinco de Mayo? Yeah that parts kind of minor, but oh so important for next year. You’ve been warned, now clear your schedule for the weekend and call into work sick for monday because we’re just getting started. Enjoy the photos after the cut kids.

Whoooooooooooooo! Saint Patrick’s day! Oh wait, it’s also the start of SXSW and Christ can you kids party. The night started off with Music Hall of fame Rock-a-billy Singer Wanda Jackson @ the Palm Door. I know what you’re thinking and yes I had no idea who she was either, but then my friend google filled me in and now I know, and knowing is half the battle. What I’d really like to know is who took my left sock while I was passed out at Beauty Bar last night, but that’s a whole other mystery to solve. Munch Munch and Diamond Rings closed last night out and Frankie Chan, Toxic Avenger, Shout out out out and The Very Best will be on hand tonight to bump the house. So if you have a wrist band, a badge or some cold hard cash be there, or don’t your loss.

Wow, to be a stick of gum at Beauty Bar on Valentine’s eve. Hot girls, strong drinks, crazy bands and Car Stereo Wars, what more could anyone want? Oh, right  cab fare, a half pie of pizza and some tylenol for the hangover. Well all is well that ends well, if you weren’t there to get down with us for the pre Vday celebration you can’t miss out on next weekend’s raucous bash.  Thanks to infamous austin for the photos, Swift for playing an awesome show, and we’re always glad to have Car Stereo Wars in the house. Peace.
