N.E.R.D. ***Fader Fort ***03.13.o8 ***The Chad and Pharrell show was the finishing touch on what was already an epic day. To follow up a Lou Reed tribute was going to be impossible. So why not have some party starters hit the stage and light it on fire. N.E.R.D. – She Wants to Move [mp3]
Saul Williams ***Fade Fort ***03.13.08 *** I have to say that I liked his spoken word performance years ago when he opened up for the Mars Volta years ago. I haven’t listened to Niggy Tardust, but after seeing him perform various cuts from the album, I am curious. His cover of U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday…
Birdmonster ***Fader Fort ***03.13.08 *** I just going to put this out there. Birdmonster is the most photogenic band I’ve ever shot. Okay. It’s off my chest and I feel better. Not that that’s going to take them very far, but their new material will. It’s a little more folky than what I’m used to…
Constantines ***Emo’s Proper***03.13.08 *** The early day conundrum. Eat lunch and sacrifice going to some early amazing shows, or fast until you have seen what you needed to see and eat something on the fly.

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. Yeasayer is probably one of the most electric groups around right now. These kids take their art seriously and it shows…
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. First , a well received album, and two, their stellar , yet trippy performance, that would have given the Kool-Aid tests back in the day a run for their money.The Ruby Suns-Tane Mahuta [mp3]
The Kills ***Fader Fort ***03.12.08 *** I missed the Kills last time they were at SXSW with their debut album. I was determined not to miss them again and they did not disappoint. It’s crazy but I always think that lead singer Allison Mossheart is in a permanent state of sedation because of how stoic…
