South by Sunday is always the best!
I spent most of the day at Uncle Doug's Chili Dog Fest @Side Bar and stepped over to Beerland for a few bands.
Here's the breakdown:
Carletta Sue Kay @Beerland;
Freshkills, Golden Boys, Purple Stickpin, Air Traffic Controllers, Hot Cha Cha, Kay Leotard, Zoltars, Melissa Bryan, Doug Gillard, Drunken Prayer, Jon Langford and Chums, Aaron Blount, The Ripe, Forever Changes, Crack Pipes @Side Bar;
Vockah Redu, OBN IIIs @Beerland;
December Boys, Church Shoes, Hex Dispensers, Kingdom of Suicide Lovers, Ugly Beats, A Giant Dog @Side Bar.
And that's it! I think there were another band playing after A Giant Dog, but their set was so good that it was the perfect way to end the week.

June 9, 2011: Was it a rocking weekend? Sheeeeeee-it! (Pt. 1)

This Thursday kickoff to the weekend was one bad muhfugger! I did 5 one-way trips between Skinny's Ballroom and Emo's, so this fatass got his sweat on both during and between the bands' sets. And although I didn't get to see their set, I got the Planets cd (with a little help from my friends...Dan, I owe you 2 bucks!) and I am thoroughly diggin' it.

The Beta Rhythm - "The One"

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.

Feb. 18, 2011: The Ripe @Club DeVile; Sons of Hercules @Beerland

The Ripe returned after a few months away due to injury (their drummer Nick had a broken arm) and played a cool set @Club DeVille. The Sons of Hercules kicked ass @Beerland.
