South By Southwest 2009

What a week. SXSW has been the highlight of my musical career. We opened the festival with a Wednesday night showcase at a bar called Pangea. It was beautifully appointed and the thick low end was fantastic.

Austin was a great time. I have rarely felt so at home in a city. I know much of it was colored by my love of SXSW. We literally went from gig to gig, bar to bar, party to party non stop until we passed out.

Favorite new (to me) bands:

The Thermals
The Strange Boys
Thomas Junction

DEVO stole the show at the mainstage on Friday night. They were far and away my favorite of the whole festival.

We found out after the festival that NPR reviewed all the submissions from all the bands for SXSW, some 1,000 bands, and put Arms & Legs "No Prescription" in the top 100 songs of that list. Check it out.
