March 19, 2011: SxSW, day 5

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...

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.
