Ain't no party like a Fleshtones party! The Fleshtones (with help from the Ugly Beats) got down @Uncle Billy's on Lake Travis, of all places. The afterparty was The Ripe gig @Emos. "Good times" doesn't even come close to describing it.
I got carried away and I took a lot of video that night: 7 Ugly Beats vids, 7 Fleshtones vids and 2 of The Ripe

October 14, 2011: Fleshtones Party!
March 17, 2011: SxSW, day 3
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.
