Peelander-Z is a band from New York City that should just face the facts that they need to go ahead and relocate to Austin. They promise a performance with “intense audience participation and a chance to exercise”. Who could turn that down?

Mad Tiger Festival – Mueller Lake Park
Since the City of Austin cancelled the New Year Celebration in January due to inclement weather, they made it up to us today by having the Mad Tiger Festival. Pretty much an awesome welcome to Spring with fun bands at the Mueller Lake Park. As a secret to you Internet Friends in Austin, check the website for two more events still to come at the Thinkery.
SXSW – Do It To It
It is the last full day of SXSW, and I am starting it off with the Do It To It party this Saturday evening at the Living Room in the W Hotel. There are some good DJs working their magic here. 🙂
SXSW – Mexican American Cultural Center
The rain got the best of me tonight at the Mexican American Cultural Center. The bands were total troopers for enduring the weather. It was still fun, and tomorrow is another day.
SXSW – Make Some Noise
I walked through Rainey Street (appropriately named for tonight’s weather) and went to the Neiman Marcus Make Some Noise party at 78 Rainey Street. It ended quickly after I arrived, but I did get to see the end of the set for Marina and the Diamonds. It was a good start to a very wet evening.
SXSW – Spoon
SXSW – Auditorium Shores
This evening’s SXSW experience was found at Auditorium Shores. I really like the new layout for this park as a concert venue. It was a first class experience. Good job Austin!
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day
I went to a relatively small and calm celebration for Saint Patrick’s Day at the Shoal Crossing Event Center this evening. There was music and drinks on the inside, and music, dancing, drinks, and food on the outside. If you ever have the chance to see the Inishfree Austin Irish Dancers or the Silver Thistle Pipes and Drums, then please take advantage of it. They both put on great performances tonight!
SXSW – Try Swedish
Tonight’s SXSW entertainment was supplied by Try Swedish and Threadgill’s down on Riverside. There was plenty of food, drinks, live music, and friendly people from Sweden. My favorite band from Sweden tonight was The Magnettes. They wore all white and rocked the place with their infectious energy and attitude.
SXSW – French Legation Museum
The French Legation Museum is hosting several SXSW events hosted by Le French Tech Club throughout the week. If you haven’t been, the Museum is a historic mansion and grounds on a hill on the East side of Downtown Austin. It has several gardens, lots of art, and a perfect small, grassy hill for holding events. My favorite event was the performance by Thylacine (William Rezé). He is a super talented EDM performer, and I loved the part of his set where he played the saxophone along with his musical creations. I hope to see him again sometime soon.
