Night 1 at SXSW
Last night was our first night in Austin for SXSW. Keeping in mind that I've never been before, I'm sticking close to everyone from Vans- espeically Kurt since we're the music duo. Team Soto-Mink ftw!
We pick up all of our badges and caught up with our friends from Epitaph which is always a good time. Since the music section of SX didn't start until the following day, I was surprised that we were already to some shows!
Our first was Motorhead. How's that for an opening night? The place was packed and the show kicked ass. Of course.
Afterward, Kurt and I spent the rest of the night at Red 7. Our friends True Widow were on the stage when we got there. Mike Herrera's newest project Tumbledown played not too long after. Holy. Crap. So good! Oliver Peck even jumped on stage to sing a little.
But after Tumbledown was when it got really crazy. Mike Herrera of MXPX, Zach Blair of Rise Against, Luke Abbey from Gorilla Biscuits, members from Riverboat Gamblers and Scott Renyolds of All banded together to play an entire Descendants cover set. Yes, you read that correctly. The crowd was gnarly! I got thrashed around a bit while taking some footage for you guys, but it's all in the name of reporting, music and freaking punk rock. Enjoy!

I have to say, the End Sounds show with the Descendents tribute band was a lot of fun!
