Austin Music Monkey

Rockin' dance techno and leather... Aw yeah.

Note to dumbass venues: if you're going to host sxsw shows, get fucking competent sound people. Eternal screwed the sound and Annie spent half her set trying to cover for their incompetence.

Good ole blues

Soul-y and funk-tastic

Time to leave the comfort of south austin and venture into the world of music.



Plan for this evening is thus:



red river day shows till 8. 8pm- New Mastersounds @ Caribbean Lights, 9pm- Sean Costello @ Creekside or maybe special guests @ Parish or Love of Diagrams @ Dirty Dog, 10pm- New Pornographers @ Stubbs, 11pm- Belle & Sebastian @ Stubbs and Lesbians on Ecstacy @ Elysium, 12am- k-os @ Antones, 1am- Go Team @ Exodus or Birthday Massacre @ Elisyum

Here's a starter list of international acts that appear to be worth a look (hit read more). More tips and schedules coming soon.

Soon the music will play... getting the live posting from the Treo working.

Year 20 for South by Southwest is here and the beginning of the music festival is nearly upon us. With 1300 bands having official showcases and more day shows and parties than you can spit Pearl at, the hangover is sure to be profound.

I'm going to try some field reporting this year, so stay tuned to the homepage here at Austin Music Monkey for live coverage from throughout the music festival.

i'll start talkin' again when i've got something to say — Blaze Foley

39 bands in 4 days from 7 countries at 21 venues with 3 Canadians and one ATL refugee, leading to a hangover that'll last until ACLfest
