SXSW: Wed, Thursday and Friday Micro Blog

Little Steven, host at Antone's garage rock showcase

A  break in the Austin action for iced coffee and South By San Jose, where the Mother Hips are presently doing a very good impersonation of Crazy Horse (Mark Olson and Gary Louris are up next). Quick takes on the free day parties this afternoon: Bishop Allen was tighter and more musical than I guessed, Great Northern more shoe gaze and sexy than I dreamed, Living Things more inclined to light dollar bills on fire than I’d recommend, and Chesterfield Kings more rock than you or I combined.

If you want to catch my full takes on Wed and Thurs at SXSW, head over to the A to Z Blog for my recaps, here and here. See you at Jovita’s for the Twangfest / KDHX Day Parties on Saturday!
