SXSW
Diarrhea Planet have arguably the worst and best band name at SXSW 2014, but one things for sure, if you see them this year you won’t forget their live show. We kicked off our 2014 SXSW experience with Diarrhea Planet at Hotel Vegas on the East side of Austin and they set the bar high […]
Thanks mostly to Stereofly, more South Carolina bands than ever will be playing unofficial showcases at this years South by Southwest. The one South Carolina band officially playing the conference is Charleston’s Stop Light Observations who play in Austin Thursday night and then make the long trek back to Columbia to play the St. Patrick’s […]
I was at a peculiar point in my drunk where my steps advanced ahead of me without my prompting- I was running automatically, careening along a hastily charted course through crowds of comparatively sluggish festies. ‘We’re gohna miss it,’ my brain slurred, but ‘no,’ my brain responded, ‘Weggan do it allll!‘ Stopping so abruptly I […]
By Terrence Richard of Junior Astronomers Right now I’m tucked away in the van driving what to me seemed to be a Tornado in Florida. Its been some time since we left Austin but it feels like only yesterday I was hungry and sweaty all over. Searching for free booze and new tunes. This is […]
We decided to ease into Day 1 of the Music portion of SXSW, but we probably went a little harder than originally planned. After checking in and getting all our credentials, we set out to find some free drinks and food before the night started. We wound up at a boathouse at the Tumblr + […]
Alright Austin… We’ve stretched, prepped our google doc schedule, RSVP’d to every party, packed some snacks, charged our cameras and booked our post-sxsw pedicures for next week. We’re ready to drink all of your Shiner and eat all of your chips and queso. We’re excited to do this again, and of course see a bunch […]

Delta Spirit played 16 shows total at SXSW in 2012, these photos coming from their last one at Stubb’s BBQ. The full lineup for this showcase was fun., Delta Spirit, Of Monsters and Men, Milo Greene, and some British guy that gave me a headache and jibjabbed and looped his guitar for 45 minutes. The […]

One of the more awkward moments of the Thursday day-show at Stubb’s BBQ came before The Alabama Shakes hit the stage. More than any band in town, all the buzz surrounded The Shakes. People were piling in as The Punch Brothers took the stage. As the local radio host introduced progressive bluegrass veterans Chris Thile […]

One of our must see acts at SXSW this year was Madi Diaz. And even though she played five times, catching one of her shows still proved to be a challenge. Finally, on Friday afternoon we had our chance to see her play, and right after one of our other favorites, Good Old War. It […]
