SXSW Music Day 1
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.

Party 4 the People @ The Mohawk
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.

SXSW Day 2 – Beauty Bar / Palm Door
Lonestar, boots, and an awesome performance by Shout out out out’s; what do these things have in common? SXSW and beauty bar, that’s what! Last night was insane, between Deer Tick, Frankie Chan and Toxic avenger I just about died in the massive crowds. Beauty Bar and Palm door have really stepped up the game this year in terms of showcasing awesome SXSW acts, and tonight is going to be even more crowded. Rye Rye, Giver, and Golden Triangle will be on hand to blow the roof off the joing. Get there early or get stuck waiting in a line that doesn’t move.
