godtomsatan Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hmm, The Black Angels? I think I've heard of them. Their Bloodhounds track sounds familiar. But alas, we'll probably still be at REM when they go on. Bummer. They're an Austin band. I'm sure they'll play again. Man, Blitzen Trapper sounds pretty sweet. If I manage to see The English Beat the night before, I'll be able to check these guys out. Of both bands I've been introduced to in 2008, these guys are my favorite. Grand Archives sounds way too mellow. I'll admit they are friends of mine and I'm shilling for them. I agree they are mellow, but for whatever reason, people dig the crap out of what their singer does (Carissa's Weird was his last band; did a lot on the 1st Band of Horses record).

They put out their own records and kind of do whatever the fudge they want. Plus the 9 year olds that totally dug them 10 years ago are 19 now.

Ah, maybe I've heard them (Black Angels) on the radio station here that plays a good deal of "local" music. Will report back on Blitzen and all others! If I see Grand Archives, I'll say hello for you. I've seen them as "grownups". They aren't exactly shabby. They put out their own records and kind of do whatever the fudge they want.

Clubfoothead Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 DeVotchKa Haven't been able to find any of them yet but liked Dr. Dog. Blitzen Trapper Blitzen Trapper I like that. Never had heard of them before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Haven't been able to find any of them yet but liked Dr. Dog. You should be able to find them on both iTunes and YouTube. In fact, I think CEO posted a couple YouTube links for them in this thread. Dude, I am totally amped for week after next. My sis is working on VIP tix for REM, there are a ton of non-SXSW shows that I'm really looking forward to, and of course the SXSW lineup is killer as ever. Definitely seeing Buttercup again. Should be able to fit San Saba County in (unlike last year). I don't think we'll be kicked out of any bars this time around, though. After all, St. Patty's Day is on Monday this year... last year's Saturday St. Patty's was a debacle. Anyways, wish ya could come down, but I know you'll be here in spirit (I'll have a in your honor.... OK, work with me with the graemlin, alright). Feel free to drop any more suggestions.

darin3 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 ^ Off to Houston today for a birthday party and then tomorrow's gonna be spent cleaning up the homestead and preparing for visitors. The film/tech stuff kicks off early in the week, and come Wednesday, it's time to pah-tay and listen to great music. Like last year, I'll be collecting various CDs at the shows and will probably download stuff off iTunes and the SXSW site of the good bands. I'll be putting together a collection CD, which I'll be happy to send on to my favorite Huddlers. This time it won't take 10 months. Some of the names I'm really looking forward to include: Ice Cube, REM, San Saba County, Nada Surf, Hanson , POTUSA and The English Beat.

darin3 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 +1. . I'd be happy to pay for shipping. Last year, ChuckB had posted a thread asking for donations for a bowling charity event and I asked that anyone that wanted a CD donate $5 or something in lieu of shipping costs, etc. Perhaps there'll be another deserving charity event or something that will pop up here in a few weeks that I can do something similar with.

darin3 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 First day/night in the books. Totally ignored the "schedule" and just walked around downtown. Listened to a couple bands and mainly just hung out. Found out that Helmet is playing a free show today... so I'm gettin' myself ready for that. Full day/night of music and today. Picked up some promo CDs that I'll be burning. Best songs will go on a compilation CD that'll be available to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 MGMT is playing tonight and tomorrow night. I'd recommend them if a Ween+Flaming Lips+Prince combo might strike your fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my sister is all pumped up to see them, so we'll probably check 'em out. We'll have to see the Mother Truckers (awesome alt-country for those that like that style) another time, as they play at the same time tonight. I can't believe I'm about 3 hours away from seeing Helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I can't find any coverage on Comcast except a news special, and the closing ceremonies on IFC, but I doubt that is music focused. Although... in OnDemand, if you go to Music > concert.tv you can find performances by Drive By Truckers. Wow, they actually added a lot to the OnDemand music lineup. There's now an A&R Channel that has little known bands. Cool. It's like SXSW for people too lazy to get off the couch! Well, no it's not. Dang.

darin3 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Day/night #2 in the books. Missed Helmet. But did see a few real good shows, including Clubfoothead favorites (and darin3 favorites) San Saba County and Buttercup. Heading down in the afternoon again today to meet up with some buddies. Going to see Clay Jeffrey (an acquaintance of mine) and Puff Puff and the Receivers today. Weather forecast calls for temperatures in the 90's. Should be another awesome day.... but tomorrow's the "big" day (High Times party, Ice Cube, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
