First day of SXSW and the Hickoids were at the White Horse with a bunch of really good bands. Of course I didn't see them all...
I got there around 10 when Jon Langford went on. What a great set, no crap, just sweet sweet music. They did a bunch of Mekons stuff but it wasn't too punky it had more of a Waco Brothers feel. Really nice. Of course knowing half of the band makes a show infinitely more exciting.
We went on at Midnight and we showed that crowd why we are Austin Music Hall Of Fame winners!!!! Of course we won that a few years ago... don't know if it still counts... and we had an amp crap out on us in the middle of the set so there was a big pause in the action.... It was a Hickoids show. When we were playing the crowd was really in to it and we gave them everything we had.
Zeros were last and they kicked it! Well they kicked the first half of the set, I headed home after that...
Next up for me is Bigfoot Chester at Shangri La, Friday 7PM.
