exene at the yard dog/bloodshot records showcase
friday of sxsw 2011, we picked up brady and some of the guys from the bus and had lunch at guero's, cindy wasserman also joined us. we went next door for exene's show at the yard dog for bloodshot records.
brady jumped on stage and they got right to it.
exene seemed pleased with how everything fit, explained this was the first time they'd all played together. the crowd was appreciative of the effort put out for them.
maggie bjorklund on the steel guitar and brady blade keeping time. it was crowded in there so I had to take all the pics from one location.
we all went to guero's outdoor stage area for margaritas after the set. some band that I won't mention was playing as hard and as loud as they could. sort of made me appreciate silence and seemed ironic under that big peaceful oak tree. so we left.
we all went to threadgill's to catch dave alvin. they had texas swing band outside under the oaks and it was real crowded inside. scott crompton, jerry (rock/roll bus driver) and I took the chance to get a moment of relaxation out there. I caught a small bit of the dave alvin show, exene later stated that his was one of the best she saw at sxsw.
brady picked up my camera and fired off a few rounds, cmoore driving and jerry the professional driver take the opportunity to not watch the road. then brady turned the camera on me.
I ducked out early, went home and made dinner for my family and enjoyed the weather by eating in the screen room. cmoore, brady and co went on to see the north missisppi all stars and steve wynn at momo's.
