SXSW - Days 1/2

Posted by Campbell at Friday, March 14, 2008

Thus far I've seen Jens Lekman, Buddy Miller, Old 97s, Glossary, The Drams, Centro-matic and a few others. The highlight through day two, by far, were The Drams. Their day show yesterday was a bit sluggish, but their 1am hotel gig last night was the most passionate and inspiring show I've seen in a long time. We then hung out until about 4am talking Wilco, Springsteen and rock n' roll with Drams lead singer Brent Best. This man should be a superstar.

Best quote:
Me: "Brent: Your catalog is far more impressive than Paul Westerberg's"
Brent: "What?"

Tonight: Kill Rock Stars showcase, Him & Her....
