Day 3 Tokyo Police Club Diesel Party NO WE CAN’T!!! I don’t know if the guys had sound checked, but they sounded not so good. Everything was off. Vocals, sound, delivery. Name it, it happened. Very uninspired and a huge disappointment. I don’t know what happened. I saw them in Austin over ACL last year…

Day 3 Matt & Kim Diesel Party Talk about stirring up some teenage riot. My favorite of last week. Hands down. No question. I saw them twice to affirm this statement. The wild kids upfront started dancing so hard, that I felt that I was in a mosh pit of days past. But the thing…

Day 3 David Vandervelde Diesel Party I’m sorry, am I missing something. Maybe I was in the wrong environment. I don’t and can’t understand what the buzz is all about?! I would like to listen to this album in the comfort of my own home to make a more formulated response. David Vandervelde-Feet of a…

Day 3 Illinois Diesel Party One of my top favorites at this year’s SXSW was Illinois. I had zero expectations and had no idea what I would be instore for me, and that’s when I spotted me a banjo of sorts…..ahhh, yes, a banjo…..that’s something people don’t know about me, I luv me some pickin’…

Day 3 Amy Winehouse Fader Fort/Rehab There was wide speculation that our songstress friend was going to cancel yet, another show, however she pulled through to give a hohum performance sans the full band….When she hit the stage, the photographers swarmed the stage like white on rice….CRAZYY!!!

Day 3 Office Fader Fort The city of Chicago can do no wrong right now. They are pumping out this insane amount of jangly pop bands at the astounding rate that Joss Stone is pumping managers…..that said, Office is no exception, further reinforcing that Tripwire had put together a great lineup for the day…. Office-The…

Day 3 Youth Group Fader Fort Youth Group makes the kind of music that makes you feel alive. Very energetic, campy, upbeat, and always quick to the punch!!! Youth Group-Catching and Killing[mp3]

Day 3 Kings of Leon Spin Party Stubb’s BBQ All the industry types found time to fit in some KOL during the party. The Followhill Clan had the attention of everybody at Stubb’s, and for good reason. Their new album sounds amazing, but even better when you’re getting free Marg’s and ciggs….mmm….Margs…. Kings of Leon-Charmer[mp3]

Day 3 Fujiya and Miyagi Pitchfork/Windish Agency Emo’s Jr. Space Rock. In fact, if this group were any more Space Rock, the Jetsons would join them on stage. Fujiya & Miyagi – live on KEXP from SXSW (MP3)

Day3 Mew Spin Party Stubb’s BBQ Mew has hit the big time. They went from opening up for Bloc Party to a slot on the coveted Spin Party lineup… Their album speaks volumes, and they sounded as anthemic as they did the last time I saw them, even though half the crowd was on their…
