SXSW BLEEDS AUSTIN DRY
…and we love it. Definitely having a great time here at SXSW, Rolo Tomassi melted our faces off at their first US show ever at the Cannibal Cheerleader Blood Bath, Lissy Trullie left us starry-eyed at Red 7, the Hold Steady played their first ever dual-header with Lucero, M. Ward and the Cold War Kids burned up Auditorium Shores, and that’s of course just the tip of the iceberg.
We here at Cannibal Cheerleader don’t profess to have the biggest staff that can cover an entire festival – however, the one thing we definitely do better than anyone else is videography and we’ve got killer video for Rolo, The Whispertown 2000, The Action Design, and more from our day show, all of which we’ll roll out next week. We plan on giving a massive update on Monday where we’ll talk about every little experience from the weekend and our day show. Stay tuned until then and enjoy your SXSW experience!
PS. Check out this indie video from NME of the Rolo Tomassi bassist Joseph Thorpe coming THIS close to smashing his bass all over the Peacock.
Be prepared for this, only with sound next week!
Comments? For the record, the guys in Rolo Tomassi are the nicest, most thoughtful, and humblest band we’ve ever come across that can turn around and shred the shit out of a venue in a 30-minute set. A class act through and through.
