New Build (members of LCD soundsystem + hot chip) at urban outfitters and Midnight Cowboy modelling/cocktail lounge
I will NOT forget ear plugs for sxsw next year. ears still bleeding from this show.
NEW BUILD (members from LCD soundsystem and hot chip)
I often say, "if your band's drummer sucks, your band is gonna suck too". now I can add, if one awesome percussionist is good, three will surely kick ass!"
I love that moment, when the band realizes the show is going well. the sounds is good, they are playing well together, the crowd is responding and we are all creating a great memory together. it’s great to see a band that seems to enjoy performing to a live audience.
then we headed downtown for some drinks and eats.
kat enjoying her vintage top she got from the yelp sxsw party.
had some apps at garrido's then we had reserveations with friends at a new cocktail bar...
this place is not easy to find. they did remove the "Midnight Cowboy MODELLING oriental massage" sign. the long lived brothel was finally shut down. and some quick thinkers turned it into an upscale cocktail lounge and kept the same name. this lounge is by reservation only, and there is no real bar. just a few booths and a private room. entry is gained after finding the unmarked door and ringing a buzzer.
we had the private room.
the place is only 11 ft wide. looks like they only have 8 booths (four on each side) and the one private room.
we had a curtain for privacy, and a switch that illuminated a red light to indicate when we needed service.
some of the drinks are mixed (performed) table side via this rolling bar cart and mixologist.
the room itself is dark (also very very humid and muggy)
the oriental massage and girls are gone, but we brought our own oriental models. we entertained ourself with photography and using an iphone flashlight app as the light source.
it was after ten when we jumped back onto sixth street. I've never seen it so packed and lively!
and kat found her best wurst cart.
and this band set up in the middle of 6th street. they had a HUGE marimba... laser light show over the street... it was wild.
