It was a long, fun week in Austin, TX this year for SXSW 2011. Mother nature came through with some amazing weather, which made it especially fun to run around, see music, drink Lonestar and stuff ourselves w/ Tex Mex and BBQ. Plagued with some Facebook mobile app issues a few meals didn’t get documented, but for the play by play report check out the Ooh La La Records Facebook page and you’ll get the important stuff.
Highlight of the week is a serious toss up between Twin Shadow (above photo) at Maggie Mae’s and Phantogram (photo below)at Luster Pearl. Both bands put on a great show and had amazing songs for us to get lost in.
1,2,3 got a great mention in the Arts section of the NYTimes: http://nyti.ms/is93qH

Upon our return on Sunday to NYC we were greeted with 34 degree weather, which made it even more apparent how awesome Austin truly is…New York, I love you, but you’re bringing me down. All in all an awesome week of music, friends, food, and drink. Now if we can just catch up on some sleep…ya right!
