Today’s Honk! TX events were held at Adams-Hemphill Park and Spider House. Once again there was great music on a spectacular, sunny day in Austin.

Honk! TX – South Congress
Honk! TX is back in town for the weekend! This is one of my favorite festivals of the year with such good music. I watched several bands this evening at different locations along South Congress Avenue. My favorite band tonight was Gora Gora Orkestar from Boulder Colorado. They were great!
SXSW – McDonald’s Loft
McDonald’s Loft was one of my favorite SXSW venues this year. The lines were long, but once inside, they fed you, gave you drinks, and entertained you. This band is called Escondido, and they were fun.
SXSW – Pandora Discovery Den
My SXSW strategy for the last day of the festival was to bounce around to as many parties as possible. Of course, the downside to this strategy was waiting in lines. This party was the Pandora Discovery Den. The band having fun on stage is Bleached.
SXSW – Music is Universal Party
This party was fun. It was the Music is Universal Party at the Marriott Hotel with Niykee Heaton and Vince Staples closing it out. Everyone was bouncing and the floor was shaking, which presented a challenge for photographs in focus. 
SXSW – Outdoor Stage
The Deftones rocked at the SXSW Outdoor Stage at Lady Bird Lake tonight.
SXSW – Street Music
There are so many musicians at SXSW that the bands often take to the streets to help defer their travel expenses. You can hear some great music as you walk from one venue to the next.
Hole in the Wall – Part 2
I stayed till closing time tonight. Not only did they have Atash tonight, but they also had the Flying Balalaika Brothers ripping it up. Two great bands that specialize in music from around the world. The Hole in the Wall may not be a fancy club, but it is definitely a fun one.

Music on Main
Hey, City of Round Rock! I had a good idea involving the use of your downtown plaza. Since the weather has been so beautiful, why not use the outdoor stage for a band like the Urban Achievers Brass Band? You could invite everyone out for a party, get some food trucks, maybe a snow cone making booth, face painting for the kids, and advertise it a bit to insure a good turnout. What? You already thought of that? It’s called Music on Main and it’s going to be a weekly free event for a while with a different band each week? Awesome! Keep up the good work!
