I Love (Austin, TX) — Morning Reflections

By Austin Sound • Mar 18th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

Recouping after a night of Andrew W.K. (pt. 1) at Buffalo Billiards upstairs. Anklebones hurt from all the jumping and yelling, but man can that guy put on a party. Some may not be into blatantly simplistic party rock, but some people also like Kid Sister, so people can do unexplained things for unexplained reasons, I guess. He was there with a full band for the second night (one previous showing in NYC) and everyone seemed in pure form — ugly, ugly sonsabitches, with one leotard 80s monstrosity dancer/singer. It was awful and wonderful at the same time, aesthetically abhorrent and magnetic at the same time.

Earlier, Terp2It confused and entertained a crowd at Karma Lounge. Chris Trew a.k.a Terp2It brought his own breed of nerdcore hiphop to the small club, chest emblazoned with a gold “World Heavyweight Champion of the World” wrestling belt. Highlights included ‘readstyling’ (as opposed to freestyling) a rote recital of someone’s sxsw welcome pamphlet and creating an impromptu fashion/dance aisle down the front of the crowd. Come to think of it, both shows I saw at the end of last night had people in neon leotards. I hope this isn’t a continuing trend.
