SXSW Sendoff Bash at Neumos

March 1st, 2010

I suppose in these parts we all know what SXSW is, the revered and glorious musiclal festival down Texas way, down in Austin where no bands of mine have ever played, though I did go to a wedding there once. No worries on not ever playing there though. I don’t think any bands of mine have ever even applied to SXSW. Perhaps we’ve been lazy. I suppose it’s like what they say about the lotto, can’t win if you don’t play, or rather can’t play if you don’t fill out said application with said application fee. And well, it seems a few of the local musical groups have done just that. And they won! I’m envious. As much as I like recording and studio work, live is the thing, live is where we strike the chords that set nights on fire.

And well getting back to SXSW, this weekend at Neumos there is a SXSW Sendoff Bash featuring Visqueen, Hey Marseilles, Mash Hall (formerly known as They Live!), and Fences. I haven’t seen the other bands, but Visqueen alone is worth the price of admission. I saw them at Easy Street Records in Queen Anne, and even on the horrible PA there they were a little pop, a little punk, and a whole lot of fun. I don’t suppose they’ll talk about That Great Gig at Easy Street, but they may just do so of Neumos, or if you’re in the mood for a serious road trip, SXSW.
