Yesterday was our first gig at SXSW.
We got up and had breakfast, and headed out to downtown Austin.
The gig was around eight o clock so we had plenty of time to hang out and check out Austin.
We decided to go and see some friends of ours i Casiokids who is also playing here.
Then the backline situation. We were lucky enough that the band The Hundred Days is in town so we got to borrow a much needed amplifier from them to get through our show.
Looking forward to hang out with them more this week.
After collecting the amp, we got in the car to get to the venue called Trailer Space Records, a really neat record store. Simon was drooling over the rich array of rare punk rock vinyl stored there. The show went great apart from the PA system being a bit limited.
Then we went to get some food and checked out more of the parties that went on downtown.
Austin without a doubt the colest town in Texas, the texan answer to Haight Ashbury in San Fransisco perhaps. A liberal and cool chillout town with a lot of great people.
Loking forward to the next days in Austin.
