Last day and Seth and Jenna are looking so good.
Austin water is really good.
Before we knew it the day was done and somehow we ended up in a car with Hisham from Soft Circle and Dean from No Age.
This is a picture from our upcoming split “birthmark” with Tyvek.
Second show, Strange Boys and a PIZZA BREAK!
Ready for day two and already so exhausted but still excited to play four shows.
First show we got to play with Finally Punk.
Last show of the day was our PPM showcase with Gun Outfit, Total Abuse, Soft Circle, Silk Flowers, and Abe Vigoda with guest floater Judy Garland Abuse, Soft Circle, Silk Flowers, and Abe Vigoda with guest floater Judy Garland
We played with this band we had never heard of called The Splinters. They are from San Francisco and really good! They are from San Francisco and really good!
Finally, we got to our first of eleven shows at Club 1808.
Luckily there was Internet for Seth. I wonder what websites he is trying to hide from us?
On our way to SXSW from El Paso, the weirdest town for sure. We ran out of gas.
Stopped by to see Black Lips with GZA. So crazy!
No Age had this really cool drawing that Spanky did in their room.
Got to say hey to Abe and Wavves.
And got to make out until next year.

Mika Miko kindly took us some behind-the-scenes shots of their time at this year's South By Southwest.

The LA five-piece played no fewer than 11 (!) shows, and went all the way to vindicating our selecting of them as one of ten SXSW bands to check out - click HERE for the full ten.
