Well, we tried to take the week last week and use it for recovery. That didn’t exactly pan out how we expected. This week we’re hoping to finally regroup and collect ourselves and get back on the ball with photos and bands and shows and stuff. You know, like the golden days. In our first attempt, let’s get alllllllll the SXSW photos out there in one giant post. How does that sound? Overwhelming? Yeah, well, suck it. We’ll keep it as chronological as possible, but take it easy on us – there’s a lot. We gotta say that, in all honesty, JEFF was the best thing we saw all week. We’re totally biased, but whatever. Other highlights include seeing Death [even though it’s not really the same at all anymore] hanging with baby PopJew, going to a house party where Andrew WK was playing and Bill Murray was watching, and hanging with our friends. The other best thing we heard all week was this, “Nashville is saving rock and roll.” We overheard someone say that after watching Natural Child and JEFF at the PopJew/Acid Marshmallow/Modern Country showcase. We couldn’t agree more and you’ll notice from our photos that it was hard to not see Nashville bands. As is the case with carrying lots of film — sometimes you lose a roll. This time we lost 2 FOUND ‘EM! SUCK IT! [JEFF and Death at the Panache showcase, and something else we can’t remember] All photos are courtesy numba on stunna Bekah Cope. We’ll have some more photos for you in the next couple days that include a Soft Pack instore and Nodzzz playing baseball. No joke. Here goes!!!
