Dan Lurie – Vanessa and I flew into Austin late Wednesday night and immediately hit the hay so we’d be in peak form for Thursday’s SXSW festivities. We woke up feeling spry and began our day with Pete’s Original Breakfast Tacos, followed by a steady stream of bloody marys and Pabst Blue Ribbon at the Red Eyed Fly.
Mike Spine – Ahmed and I walked a hot mile into town yesterday from the sleeping spot and caught a goofy Austin band called Wicked Pro Wrestler on a porch. Then we caught a bit of a Swedish showcase that didn’t move me while waiting for San Diego instrumental metalish band Earthless with special guest J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr.
Mike Spine – Since I left you yesterday afternoon, I saw a free show at Red 7 with Tennessee workhorses Lucero and Twin City via NYC rising stars The Hold Steady.
Greetings race fans. My name is Mike Spine and for the next five days I will be doing my best to offer you my perspective on the legendary music festival in Austin, TX known as South by Southwest.
Matt Ashworth – Holy smokes are we excited about this kids. Somehow, the fine folks at NadaMucho.com talked their way on to the planning committee for this year’s South by Seattle showcase, and with March just around the corner, it’s time to start spreading the word.
