Thursday March 13th, 2014 SXSW Music day two
I ran out of the house w/o my camera. iPhone pics is all I have to show for my day/night.
it all started at the GSD&M Bloody Mary Brunch. Free breakfast tacos and free Tito's Bloody Mary's... THIS is why I do day parties. not a big crowd, great music and it's all free.
Grace London
The Silver Palms (they listen to a lot of the stooges)
I thought they said this was James Fitz?, from Nashville. He was a surprise act, not listed on the schedule...
you probably already know I love PHOX.
I was glad to see Monica again. She assured me "Paul, I'm sure I'll see you at least eight more times this SXSW". But that didn't get to happen this year. This was the only PHOX show I was able to stumble across.
Melissa Etheridge! I wasn't really a fan before, but she put on a great show. She talked to the crowd and told us stories. I like her. She was good to us.
In The Valley Below at the Applauze Green Room
and then we made it all the way to the Under The Radar party , on foot we knew better than to drive.
The Mary Onettes (clever name!) from sweden
yeah, we really get THAT CLOSE! LOVE the day parties.
WE WERE PROMISED JETPACKS (from Scottland)
then we took off again.... one foot in front of the other... miles to cover.
brief photo reinactment from 20+ years ago in DC
Brass Bed, missed their set but had my pic taken with this guy. Kat noticed we have some similarities... he looked at me and said "people are gonna think we're related." You should check out their tiny desk concert over at NPR
The Defibulators at the Tequila Mockingbird Back yard bash (free beer and BBQ)
We got some food and saw "Dad-Jim" at the Hole in the Wall, and asked a friend to drive us home.
