Hey @southbysuzie and @texastoasted – thanks for joining! Suze, it was nice chatting with you as well! The creative industries expo at the Austin Convention Center is so cool. It’s like a country fair for technology. I definitely plan on getting back over there today. Just having a slow start this morning. SXSW is quite the marathon!
Just wanted to list off all my favorite acts from yesterday. Don’t have reviews ready because I’m about to head back out for the day, but I saw a lot of great music yesterday.
Gran Moreno @ Vaquero
Greg Freeman @ Cheer Up Charlies
Ringo Death Starr @ Hotel Vegas
Flags @ Volstead Lounge
Font @ Hotel Vegas
Die Spitz @ Hotel Vegas
Sextiles @ Hotel Vegas (i think that was their name, someone correct me if I’m wrong)
To answer your question TexasToasted, yes, I did see Die Spitz last night. Pretty sick band! My buddy was telling me that they are like the most renowned local band in Austin right now. Hope to catch them again later this week, as well as Greg Freeman. That shit was some dope, genre-less rock music!
Also shoutout to the Gray Market for playing some JGB on the street and serving up a delicious lunch for me yesterday.
Getting ready to head back out the door again here shortly. Maybe I’ll run into y’all out and about today! My initially planned schedule went almost completely out the window, which I guess was to be expected.
