SXSW DAY 2 - Ernest Gonzales

so i started the day off with the main intention of seeing Neon Indian at the Terrorbird / Forcefield day party, but i didnt actually stay there long enough to watch them. however i did get to see 3 other acts instead,

first was Ernest Gonzales, a local austin artist, with a weird but defo workable sound mix of guitars and heavy dance music. playing just off a laptop he was still very entertaining, and really enjoying what he was doing, as where the crowd. check out "Falling Asleep to Glow of the Television"

SXSW DAY 1 - bang bang eche

what a great way to start my SXSW free festival, late on tuesday night Bang Bang Eche took to the small "Friends" bar stage, which is in the front window of the bar. and they played their little hearts out! feel in love with this band after seeing them play The Freebutt, in brighton. just so much energy, and so much craft in the OZ fave's of mine. bring together a mix of danceable aggressive pop music that has been missed from my ears for a long time. with the table of samplers and pedals, things get very loud and very messy pretty quick. if you get the chance to catch them do so, cos at the moment there arent really many people doing what they do, as well as they do

enjoy
