SXSW Night #4: Band Review
Rollo Tomasi @ Latitude 30
Lurple says:
Only caught one song. Very loud, screaming metal with a female singer (screamer?).
Sky Larkin @ Latitude 30
Lurple says:
They started their set by explaining that they had “shit out their livers last night”. The lead singer/guitarist has a forgettable voice and their sound is a bit sloppy. I’d probably have more fun drinking with them than listening to...

SXSW Night #3: Band Review
My Latest Novel @ Latitude 30
Lurple says:
Generic British folk/pop with a violin. Low-key and bland. Nothing you haven’t heard 100 times before. They’re technically sound there’s nothing wrong with their music, but I’m not inspired to write any more about their music, or seek it out. They looked like they’d been awake for days, and I can empathize with that.

SXSW Night #2: Band Review
James Harries @ St. David’s Episcopal Church
Lurple says:
A solo singer/guitarist. Very low-key performance, and I’ve got to say it was a nice break from the faster-paced shows and general SXSW hustle and bustle, and I enjoyed it. This is the only show I’ve attended so far where I’ve felt comfortable removing my Etymotic earplugs. He’s got a good voice, and he’s got passion. Look for his songs...

SXSW Night #1: Band Review
Zolof: the Rock n’ Roll Destroyer @ Maggie Maes
Lurple says:
Fun, upbeat rock and roll. The lead singer (Rachael Minton) is more charismatic than talented, but the show was still a lot of fun. Bonus: they have a pirate song. Second most enjoyable band we saw this night.
StickyC say:
Total 80’s girl band feel, which is right up my alley. I totally fell in love with Rachel (then again,...

And then I lost steam, but the rest of the crew carried on…
Pecan Street Lofts
After three years, hotels in prime locations seem harder and harder to come by. This year we stumbled on condos for rent right on 6th street.
Although I’m pretty sure that someone is going to have an accident on that staircase by the time we’re through — so far the condo looks like it will work out just fine. Hopefully the rest of the crew agrees.
Let's get ready to party!
I’m not quite packed yet, but soon I will be on my way to Austin. Who’s with me (besides Crab Goalkeeper)?
