But I Just Like Music

Another band I’ve been wanting to see for awhile. Also up to my 21st 22nd (and probably last) band for this weekend. I feel like a broken record, but this is another great set. Bass Drum of Death are bringing it today. Great garage punk sound. I do wish I could see them at a [...]

What is this? Sounds like instrumental post punk rock. High energy for having no vocals. It’s like Explosions in the Sky if they rocked out more. Also a mix of Battles, !!!, and others. They’re from Ireland. That’s cool. Had no idea what to expect going in, but I dug it. Will check out their [...]

White Mystery is appropriately named… They’re very white. But what’s the mystery? Grungy grunge grunge. Vocals are way drowned out. But does it matter? This is all about the guitar and drums.

Great band. Put on one of my favorite shows last year. Will be interesting to see with the new lineup. Are they playing new material? Sure sounds like it. They always know how to get the crowd moving. Just said they really dig The Men. The crowd agrees. Shout out to Soviet! Nice. I think [...]

Going to be honest. Hospitality is a big reason I came to Brofest today. Looking forward to this set. Digging so far, even if the sound inside Dada is subpar. Yep, glad I came for this. Hospitality is really good. Dada is about 1/3 to 1/2 full – at SXSW, there’d be a line to [...]

As if the past two days at SXSW weren’t enough – bring on the tunes! Made it back to Dallas in under 3 hours – just enough time to hit Brofest from Parade of Flesh at Dada. Solid lineup from a handful of bands I hoped to catch at SXSW, but missed. First act is [...]
