March 13, 2012: Day 1, Tuesday
Day 1 of the 2012 edition of unofficial southby... I was off to a slow start this year and only went to two venues and saw six bands: Ichi Ni San Shi, Dikes of Holland, Dahling and Teenage News @Trailer Space and then finished up @Spider House for the Sons of Hercules and TRMRS. I have seen a LOT of Sons of Hercules shows and this was one of the best ever!
