Saturday was another great day of sx'11. Started off with Gentleman Jesse and his Men @Mess With Texas party, then headed over to the Grackle to see Gringo Star and the Golden Boys. After that, it was back to MWTX, where I saw two bands I didn't know (City and Colour, and Dodos) while working my way to the front for OFF!. I went over to the tent stage @MWTX to see the Fresh and Onlys while waiting for Dávila 666 to go on. At that point, I needed a break, so I went home for a while. Then I ended the night @Spider House with Shannon and the Clams, the Shrapnelles, Mickey and the Flesh Lights! Saw 12 bands in all, so that was a nice warmup for Sunday...
Another relatively slow day in terms of number of bands seen, but they were all great. And I got to see one of my favorites twice! After dropping one of the out-of-towners off at the airport, I hauled ass downtown to try to catch the first band of the day. They'd already started, but luckily I caught a good portion of Wounded Lion's set @Shangri-La. Next, it was off to Spider House to see the Woggles, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Bass Drum of Death and Dávila 666. After a short break, went to Cheer Up Charlie's and saw Wounded Lion (again!) and Personal and the Pizzas. Finished off the evening @Legendary White Swan with the Damn Times and the Sons of Hercules!
Screw it.., I'm just uploading the jpeg versions for now. No time to convert the .raw files. Maybe I'll upload those versions later. Anyhoo, it was a relatively mellow sx Thursday. I only saw 9 bands. It would have been more, but the out-of-towners wanted to eat at a sit-down restaurant and, being the consummate host, I accommodated them. Can't really complain though 'cause I still got to see... @Spider House: 1) The Chevelles, 2) the muhfuggin' Ugly Beats, 3) Grand Atlantic, 4) Level Spirits, 5) Dom Mariani Trio and 6) the frickin Fleshtones! Then we saw three more bands @Trailer Space: 7) Unholy Two (not sure if I got the name right), 8) the Onions and 9) Mickey. After that, we got some grub at Kerbey Lane and called it a night.
