Roomrunner

I've been meaning to write about Baltimore's thrashy, noisy post-grunge act Roomrunner since i caught them last March during SXSW.  They're loud and raucous, but tight and precise, and are perfectly reminiscent of a period of my life during high school...way back in the mid-90's.  Let the 120 minutes revival begin!  Listen to "Weird" below and look for the "Ideal Cities" LP later this month from Fan Death.  (While you're over at Fan Death, be sure to check out the equally awesome track, "Bait Car."

SXSW pre-party pics

 The good folks at Panache Booking put together a lovely free party today to kick of this year's SXSW.  It was a great line up of some bands i know and lot that i do not (as SXSW is supposed to be).  Saw some great stuff, and i'll be linking some tracks from these bands in the near future and see if anyone has any releases on the horizon.

I would have loved to stay for the whole gig, but i've got other things to attend to (my dog and my pregnant wife to be exact).  Here's to tomorrow's parties.  Check out some pics below.
