SXSW day 1 pics

 And we're off.  I drank too much today.  Free beer + hanging out with one of my oldest friends in the world generally gets us both in trouble.  We did manage to catch some great music though, courtesy of Consequence of Sound.  Check out the pics below.

 In the evening, we caught a little bit of a different show that was supposed to include a performance from Jandek, but he cancelled last minute, which made me a sad panda.  The synth-goth of Troller made up for it though.

St. Lucia & CHVRCHES

New York electro-kid St. Lucia's "Before the Dive" gets the remix treatment from Scotland's CHVRCHES to wonderful effect.  The perfect springtime jam to get your party started, whether that be SXSW (both artists will be there), drinking a beer in a lawn chair in the backyard (always a classic), or pretending you're not at work.  Listen below.
