So its been a few weeks but the following are the most memorable photos from SXSW and some explanations behind them…
bff reunion, austin style!
Austin in the moonlight
Jules found the drummer from motorhead
The biggest drink I have EVER seen!
note the position of Jules' straw..it's at this point that Austin probably regrets letting us crash at his place for SXSW!
the streets of Austin after all the bars closed at 2am
the next day at a record showcase at Red 7
evergreen terrace playing. the line to get into the venue was super huge but andrew got us in, yay!
some random band that pays more attention to their hair styles than their music
the streets of Austin in the daytime
yes, there is a death metal pizza place in Texas!
trash talked played a free show at the death metal pizza place
more trash talk, look at lee's pretty hair
just chilling with the rad Kellen
touche amore. i'd never seen or heard them before that night and they were SO amazing
more touche amore. the crowd were actually lifting him up.
i can't wait to see them when they play with Converge in a few weeks at Santos Party House
there's so much happening in this photo
the last touche amore photo, i promise
trash talk twice in one day, who would have thought that could happen?? also, beerland is a super rad name for a bar!
whoever wrote this on the bathroom door is super bitter...
the big drink seemed to become a nightly tradition...
i only posed with this for the photo, i totally shared the rest with mayan!
this is Gizmo, Austin's dog, i think i was trying to imitate him
this building was so pretty, i love the way it looked like a cloud with the reflections of the real clouds
it really is the city of music!
just hanging out at the new england metal handcore festival showcase in the emo's annex
defeater. definitely another new favourite band find. thank you sxsw.
this is mayan. she was the first person i made friends with when i moved to new york.
jules and i really wanted to go to this but we have to work that weekend 😦
the dude in the costume is from gwar, they were actually walking around Austin like that. kinda scary
a real american house being built
the awesome jelly party venue!!! it was a bit of a walk outside of downtown Austin, but totally worth it!
i think this was yacht. whoever it was, they were pretty good.
at the time i thought this undeniably proved i was in Texas
don't remember who this band was, but like the last one, they were good
just chillin' at the jelly party
FREE VODKA REDBULLS!!!
kristina is awesome, she got us wristbands so we didn't have to wait in line to get into the party
still happy and the sun is going down
i can't remember what we were laughing at...
bff's!!!!!
a cool looking tree
it started to get a little bit cold
we had a hotel party and it got crazy, in the morning some dude was asleep in the bathtub!
adam is from california, heaps funny and says 'art' funny
at the AP magazine showcase: cymbals eat guitars, or maybe it was cymbals eat guitarists?
this is ruiner, they seemed super angry that they had to play this showcase
we were at a warehouse show where title fight, defeater, touche amore, ruiner and more played. i was so exhausted and cold though i went and slept in la dispute's van. i missed ruiner but i felt so sick i didn't mind.
back at the jackalope!
Austin might look better in my sunnies than me...
i'm guessing that a jackalope is a cross between an antelope and a jack rabbit??? its my new favourite animal!
random house party with crust gutter punks turned into one of the craziest afternoons/nights ever!
the van was the bone zone, super awesome name
sitting in the gutter on a sunny Texas afternoon
plastic cups are the greatest invention EVER
the party guests...note the huge paper mache skull in the tree - apparently it was filled spray paint cans that they were going to make explode later on
so much fun!!!!
yes, that dude is dressed in a skin-tight leopard suit
the paper mache skull
what, you mean people don't do bmx tricks off vans in your street??
Jules, what are you doing???
meet our new friend, Justin
it's not like the house didn't already have graffiti on it...
