SXSW 2008


I bricked bad on putting up suggestions for shows and whatnot, but I am knee deep in the beast itself at the moment and I'll have some recaps up next week. So far I've seen 10 bands in 24 hours and have had more free lonestar than I can count. Early on I've been impressed by three local acts (Zykos, Sea Legs, and Muchos Backflips) and a few from elsewhere (We Barbarians, The Shout Out Louds, Frightened Rabbit, Jason Collett). If anyone sees an exasperated looking 6"5" guy in a Yankees hat drinking free beer, that's probably me. Come say hi.

New Centro-Matic / South San Gabriel


Head over the Myspace pages of either Centro-Matic or South San Gabriel to hear some new material from their upcoming split double album (one disc Centro-Matic, one disc South San Gabriel) Dual Hawks. Will Johnson is a song writing genius, plain and simple, and these tracks should not be skipped. Oh man these are just too good. 5 songs up on each page, go, go, go!
