Holy Fuck

By Austin Sound • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

Holy Fuck is unleashing an assault wave of beats and noise. Definately has the crowd warmed up. Even the blaring car alarm on the street is folding into the mix pretty well!



Yellow Fever at Cheer Up Charlies

By Austin Sound • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

It’s too cold out here, but seems appropriate for the minimal chords of Yellow Fever.



This is your drummer…

By Austin Sound • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

A lot of poppy oh oh ohing from Finn at the Tender Loving Empire party at Liberty, but this drummer deserves some credit for going shirtless. Maybe.



Some Bounce at Mess with Texas

Big Freedia couldn’t show, but she sent some of her dancers, which is what it’s all about anyway. Pretty awesome

Japanther

Japanther took forever to set up for duo, and sound rough as hell out at a cold Mess with Texas fest. Extra points for this banner though!



Party Hard with Rachael Ray!!

Andrew WK. Enough said.



Demolished Thoughts

By Austin Sound • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

Andrew WK a no show for the Thurston Moore, J Mascis supergroup. Not that it matters - this is just a hilarious assault of one line punk barrages.



No Age

By Austin Sound • Mar 19th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

No Age is pummeling the fuck out of Red 7. Not a bad lead in to Demolished Thoughts. Curious how that supergroup will hold together



The Smith Westerns

By Austin Sound • Mar 19th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

These kids are young, but man do they sound good. A bit like a garage- ier Bowie. One of the better “new band” sets so far.



The Bare Wires barely have a crowd..

By Austin Sound • Mar 19th, 2010 • Category: SXSW2010 Live Blog

.. Which means you’re all missing Oakland’s finest power punks at Soho. Look, I know the venue sucks ass, but this trio deserves more than 25 people watching them. Frantic power pop meets punk rock with ridiculous hooks. Yes please!!
