AUSTIN’S ONLY TWO-DAY ROCK ’N’ ROLL PARTY

For the second year in a row, we ventured into the Texas sun with our friends Third Man Records to put up a pair of banger gigs during SXSW. From 11:30 a.m. until 6:55 p.m. on March 13 and 14, we brought two days of guitars, beer, whiskey, dill pickles, and more to the 13th Floor—one of downtown Austin's great stages.

For the second year in a row, we ventured into the Texas sun with our friends Third Man Records to put up a pair of banger gigs during SXSW. From 11:30 a.m. until 6:55 p.m. on March 13 and 14, we brought two days of guitars, beer, whiskey, dill pickles, and more to the 13th Floor—one of downtown Austin's great stages. OH YEAH, and a not-too-shabby lineup of killers like the ripping Die Spitz set from the patio, Billy Woods’ one-man wrecking crew, the unreal guitar gods in Wand, Dutch Interior’s country inflections, the positively ripping Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and any number of great sets by TVOD, PYPY, Coldwave, Her New Knife, and more! What a great-sounding room, and what great partners we had to put it all together in Grillo’s Pickles, Slane Irish Whiskey, Nugs.net, Hattie B’s, Fender, JBL, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. We’re still recover! ng from the gig—hopefully we’ll see ya next year, but if we don't, that is 100 percent on you.
