Night 4 at SXSW: Sets galore!

Friday was a rad day for us. Earlier, we decided to head out for lunch with Zach (Rise Against) and Ben (Dillinger Escape Plan) for some ridiculously good tacos away from the chaos downtown. Got to hear the full, in-depth background about GWAR. Little did I know Zach used to be in it! We found a sweet store close by, too. Check it:

First up was The Death Set. Or should I say The mutha f**kin' Death Set! I can NOT get this out of my head. At all. Even if I wanted to. Which, honestly, I don't. They have to have the best time ever on stage- you can just tell. I absolutely love these guys. And I think you should too.

We hopped over afterward to see Foxy Shazam. I saw them in '08 so I was amped to see them again with their new songs. This is going to be their year. I knew anyway, but by the amount of older, industry people there, you just know. They have to keep their pulse on stuff like that. So look out for Foxy in 2010 because they'll hit you in the face. I guarantee it. Get familiar with them now so you can tell your friends you already knew. And thanks, Eric, for giving me a freakin' heart attack with your dead on water shot. But at the same time, thanks for the photo op!

After, Kurt took me to two bands that I hadn't even heard of. The first being Les Savy Fav. What I like about these guys...is basically everything. They just do not look like they belong in a band. I had noooo idea what to expect, but came out a fan.

We wrapped up at a small bar with Huecco. These guys came all the way out from Spain. Fantastic show, great people. I wanted to dance really bad...and I don't normally dance.
