Austin Sound

Only caught the last song at homeslice, but looked fun. And the tambourines attached to bamboo sticks is awesome! PS beer tips go to Austins Urban Roots project!

Even though The Story Of only got to play for fifteen minutes yesterday, (fourteen, if you ask vocalist Christman Hersha) it was the most solid and powerful fifteen minutes since SXSW kicked off earlier this week. These guys wasted no time getting the crowd to kick up the dust [...]

Actually, we can answer this - because the bands are always horrible. Every year they put this thing on right downtown, and it’s awful, a monstrosity of sound in the middle of SXSW. Oh well, at least it’s for a good cause.

This is the loudest show I’ve ever heard, ever. These guys are hard as diamonds and as epic as Homer on crack. You don’t deserve to hear this band.

Not the band- two tesla coils unloading scuzzed electric rhythms. There’s a band playing along too that must feel bad being upstaged by static. Apparently it’s all called ArcAttack

Never seen the room so packed, and shearwater is bringing it. Turning from tremulous to torrential on a dime.

Within in the span of about a minute, I walked passed two different girls nearly sobbing and yelling “I’m Done! I’m Just Done.” Wimps!

Thao with the get down stay down has packed Momos. Though it seems very much a local crowd brought out by KUT
