This group comes in second for the amount of shows played during SXSW, the first being the Vivian Girls. Despite the frequency of shows during the week, I didn’t catch them, but I didn’t despair because they’ll be here soon. Despite the janky operation that was being run here, the group persevered playing to a…
Handsome Furs ::: Fader Fort ::: SXSW 2009
Call me selfish or spoiled, but I loved the performance from the band, but the fact that it was played at 2:15 in the PM (that’s Post Meridiem) outside made me a bit grumpy. The group nailed their performance. The energy created by the duo is remarkable and I’ve always said this, but will reiterate…
Here We Go Magic ::: Gorilla vs. Booze ::: SXSW 2009
Brooklyn weird kids brought their bag of tricks to GvB’s SXSW day party, and based on their album, I had no idea what to expect. Well, maybe a little. I was expecting a rambunctious lot from emerald fields. What I got instead was a talented group of kids that lived up to my hopes of…
Harlem ::: Gorilla vs. Booze ::: SXSW 2009
Harlem equals raw power, or should I say raw power equals Harlem. Either way, the trio couldn’t be contained by the small confines of the Peacock, nor would they be denied. The Austin psych-band proved that you can still have style without having to compromise your music, say, like, unyielding guitar chops and screeching yelps…

School of Seven Bells ::: P4K/Windish Agency Party ::: SXSW 2009
Of all the shows I was fortunate to catch last week, I can pinpoint this one as my favorite. The bass being pumped inside Emo’s Jr. was a bit overwhelming, but the trio delivered in a hot steamy sauna that had their beats cutting through the humidity as fast as our government is spending our…
