QUICK SXSW UPDATE, DAY TWO
Have been feeling not the best the last few days due to the fact that I'm only getting a few hours of real sleep (so I'm waking up exhausted/yet unable to go back to sleep).
Today's schedule looks like a lot of fun: two interviews (Asteroid Galaxy Tour and Honey Claws - yes, again!).
Since my legs & feet haven't had this kind of usage in a long time, it was hurting pretty bad yesterday (especially with trying to make it to too many places). So I thought it would be a good idea to just settled into one place and just check out random bands while waiting for other things.
Highlight of the day was interviewing Solid Gold, yes, they are from Minneapolis and, yes, I am living in Minneapolis. Why did it take SXSW to get us together? No idea. Obviously, more write ups will have to be done after SXSW, but quickly, I just wanted to let you know these guys are really down to earth and have great sense of humor. When asked what song (of theirs) we can play out to the interview, they all agreed on George Michael's "Freedom '90". Of course.
Much more on them later.
Gigwise, saw too many bands to mention. Ed Harcourt did a fantastic set, among one of the many highlights. Also managed to meet a few PR reps, so it's great to put a face to a name.
I seriously can't believe I have two more days of this. Saturday's schedule looks too insane to mention. Yikes.
So, off to grab breakfast and then to another long day ahead of me. Seriously, I think I am going to sleep for three days when I get back home.
