But I Just Like Music

Another band that sounds way better live than recorded. Unknown Mortal Orchestra are seriously bringing it. Great way to close the excellent Brooklyn Vegan day parties. 8/10

Third time seeing these guys and they ALWAYS bring it. So good. 8/10

Finally catching last year’s SXSW buzz band for their last SXSW show. Natalie Bergman’s voice is stellar. It’s got tinged with blues and jazzy goodness. The buzz was deserved. Wild Belle is fantastic live. Just got the chills! So good. These guys will get big. 9/10

Only caught one song but was very impressed. As they say in corporate, lets circle back on this one. INC

I swear, it seems that no matter who I see at SXSW, the music will be good. So the joy is in finding a showcase curated by someone with good taste and discovering the new bands. TEEN is another of those discoveries. 7.5/10

What a treat! Seeing Depeche Mode at SXSW with only a few hundred people in the venue. Played a mix of old and new material including live debuts of material off their upcoming album. Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence were the crowd pleasing hits of the night. 10/10

Funky beachy groovy tunes. I like. 7/10

Friends have been raving about this band from Brooklyn for years. Finally got myself out to see them. Man are they good. High energy, tons of different instruments. Too bad they could only play 4 songs. 8/10

Man these girls can rock out! Listened to their recorded material before SXSw and was expecting more of a Lo-fi sound. This was straight up guitar heavy rock. Impressive set. 8/10

Shredded. 8/10
