SXSW 2thousand11.

Hey guys.  So I made it down for part of SXSW with my husband and his band.  I have never been and it was so exciting.  I mostly got to see Mickey.  The last night I was there, luckily, I got to see Shannon and the Clams and Davila 666.  Davila is one of my favorite bands to see live.  They have so much energy, they are just the epitome of fun.

It was hottttttttttttt hot hot in Austin.  So what was everyone wearing?  Less clothes the better!  I saw great prints, vintage dresses paired with cowboy boots and rompers.

 

I did want to talk about a band I saw play at Vain Salon.  Squish is a 4 piece all girl group.  They are from Chicago and oddly enough I haven't seen them until SXSW.  During the set there were so many instrument changes.  3 of the lovely ladies sang, including the drummer.  They switched between keyboards, guitar and bass as well.  With songs like "Jesus is my boyfriend" and "Meeting in the Ladies Room" it was fun and sassy.  At one point someone in the audience yelled out "You offended my Catholicism."  They replied "That song is about cats!"  These ladies are fun! Please check them out.

I left Austin on Saturday morning to fly out to Florida to spend some time with friends.  It's even hotter here so I'm seeing even less clothes, but that's fine with me.  Bring on the Vitamin D!
