Great song

I just used Shazam to discover Rubin & Cherise by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Friends. http://shz.am/t317736946

Jessica Lamb rocks

Stumbled across Jessica Lamb while exploring NoiseTrade.  I am a sucker for the off the common road, singer song writer artists.  I'll throw in a link to Jessica's web site.

Breakfast Sunday Morning

Finishing off South by Southwest with breakfast at Cafe Crepe, then back to the hotel to get our bags and hit the road.

Torres at SXSW 2015

I'm Seeing Torres at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS32154.  I didn't think I would like the angry chic rock, but it really settles in well. Loved the first song. And that's a wrap for SXSW 2015. Get to go to bed after this show.   Night all.  See you in 2017 at SXSW!

Amason at SXSW 2015

I'm seeing Amason at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS31432.  This is the second to last show of the day.   Think 60"s electronic Swedish band.  Very swirly and happy.  I like the sound, but the stage performance was timid at best.  This band has a great picture posted on the SXSW site.   However, their overall appearance is less than dramatic.  Now, I'm not one to judge a book by its cover and I am certainly don't want to imply all bands must be decked out in their finest.  But, the  curly hair and baseball cap gives off the "hey we just got out of bed" look.  Sorry don't dig it.

Boxed In at SXSW 2015

Caught the last act of Boxed In at SXSW 2015 ttp://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS32010.  Lots of energy....unlike me at the moment.

Blacklist Royals at SXSW 2015

I'm Seeing Blacklist Royals at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS31319.  Third to last show of the week.  A punk rock sound.

Springtime Carnivore at SXSW 2015

I'm Seeing Springtime Carnivore at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS29361.  Very upbeat sound. Another awesome set of songs!  I love this band and will have to get one of their albums!

Lowell at SXSW 2015

Exploring the arts and crafts genre by seeing Lowell at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS31832.



Very ethereal and clever. She speaks into the mic and mixes the sound back while she speaks or sings over herself.  Very cool effect.

Sam Outlaw at SXSW 2015

Trying to find something before the 9:25 show and stumbled across Sam Outlaw at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS32180.

Verite

http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS30095. I'd write more but my lower right back is soar.   We couldn't get in the venue.  The place was packed tight.

X Ambassadors at SXSW 2015

I'm Seeing X Ambassadors at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS33212.  YAY X AMBASSADORS! But please stop swearing at the audience this is a family show.

Cilantro Boombox at SXSW 2015

Thought we were seeing Cilantro Boombox at SXSW 2015 http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_MS32596, but this drum band and dance brigade is here instead.



Interesting, bug where is Cilantro Boombox?   Later, we found out this drum band was stalling for Cilantro, but I can't verify that.

Elliot Brood

Elliot playing at the Toronto Day Party at the Canada House. A great upbeat country rock sound.

Grounders

Swung back over to the Toronto Day Party to catch the Grounders.  Sounds a little Elvis Costello like. But that's only after l listen to the last 5 minutes of the last song. 

Arrows of Love

Arrows can be used in war, for shooting apples on top of people's heads, or they be used for love.  Arrows of Love does just that, with driving guitar rhythms over loud boat horn-like keyboard cords.   While I don't love their title track, they have a lsound that seems retro, new wave, punk.

Whitehorse

Whitehorse is playing at the Toronto Day Party.  Kind of a cross between Melissa Etheridge and the B52s. No wait, Georgia Satellites and Loretta Lynne. Or maybe Gordon Lightfoot and the Backstreet Boys. Oh heck, I don't know but they are really good.

The People The Poet

Hey everybody, put your hands in the air and wave them like you don't care, because it's that new country rock Brit sensation from Wales, The People The Poet!!

Houndmouth

Late start.  We grabbed breakfast at a BBQ food truck on Red River St., then headed to our first show.  Houndmouth had several official shows, but we kept running into conflicts and timing issues with other bands. So we finally caught them at the Tumblr IRL party.

Buck 65 at SXSW 2015
