July 29, 2011: L-C, KOSL, SA @29th St Barroom

Lola-Cola, Kingdom of Suicide Lovers and Strange Attractors ran wild in the Barroom at the 29th St. Ballroom! Yazzie on a stage that's practically an extension of the bar...either a brilliant idea or a terribly, terribly bad idea.... Anyhoo, it was great fun!

April 29, 2011: Strange Attractors and Tia Carrera

Strange Attractors record release show at Trailer Space. In the grand tradition of Austin record release shows, the physical record is not available yet (but if you preorder the vinyl, you can get the download). Tia Carrera was also releasing a record that day. I don't know if they had theirs on hand. The Wolf played first, but I only got to hear their last song.

March 20, 2011: SxSW, day 6

For SouthbySunday, I figured I'd just chill out at Uncle Doug's Chili Dog Fest all day and listen to some of my favorite local bands, while occasionally popping over to Beerland for a couple of bands, just like last year. And that's pretty much what I did, but it was even better than I hoped. I heard/saw all or part of 18 sets of music (17 different acts!) with a very nice mix of local and non-local bands. Here's how it went down, more or less... @Beerland: 1) Burnt Ones, 2) Carletta Sue Kay, 3) Brainstorm, 6) X-Ray Eyeballs, 10) Dominique Young Unique, 11) Vockah Redu, and 13) White Mystery; @UDCDF: 4) Quin Galavis, 5) Guadalupe Plata, 7) Strange Attractors, 8) Beta Rhythm, 9) Serious Tracers, 12) The Ripe, 14) Til We're Blue or Destroy, 15) Ugly Beats, 16) A Giant Dog and 17) Cynics. Then I walked over to Emo's to see 18) Vockah Redu again. Much love to Doug for putting on Chili Dog Fest again. I know I say this a lot, but it truly was a beautiful thing.
