Space is the New Japan

After this years SXSW, I have the distinct impression that Space is this years Japan. A few years ago it was all about the Scandinavians, then it was japan, and this year I say its space. I was lucky enough to see the She Creatures who hail from Venus by way of the UK. The bass Player Also played a theremin. Most times she was playing it while she took a break on the bass but on occasion she played both instruments at the same time.




I did make it out to see at least one Austin band. The always excellent Hex Dispensers.





Overall I hit some good free Beer and BBQ and saw some good bands. I plan on hitting up a new podcast this week.

Cheers.

SXSW

As usual there is a lack of Austin punk band promotion during the SXSW Music Festival. There was a good bill at Beerland Last night. Super Secret/Mortville Records. I did not make it. :( It was not an official SXSW showcase from what I can tell. Anyway, hitting some free day shows today and tomorrow.
I am going to try and catch the hex dispensers at the Longbranch Inn tomorrow. I'll also be playing at MYXYY ( 96 Lyyn St. ) @ 7 PM on Friday with a band called the Saltworth Sundries. New podcast next week.


Cheers
