Yeasayer ***La Zona Rosa ***03.13.08 ***I usually don’t like seeing bands that I’ve seen just a couple of weeks ago. I have been known to make a few exceptions. This was one of them.

Chikita Violenta ***Fader Fort ***03.12.08 *** The Chilangos made their US debut that day. I wanted to catch them at IODA , but decided to stick it out at the Fader Fort due to the overwhelming line that snaked around the block and around the Levi’s protesters. My wait was not in vain and overwhelmingly…
The Ruby Suns ***Fader Fort ***03.12.08 *** New Zealanders , the Ruby Sons, came to Austin with good tithing’s.

The attention is well deserved. They ‘re no holds barred mentality and take no prisoners is as fierce as their sound. Beers all around. White Denim-Let’s…
El Guincho::GvB Day Party-Peacock::03.12.08:: These show reviews are going to be pretty brief, for there are like 100 of them. El Guincho’s beat were as hypnotic as those posters at the mall with a billion swirlies . The guy is a one-man wrecking crew. El Guincho-Kalise [mp3]
