Weee Fest: Like it? I love it…
03/27/2012
Weee Fest is my new series of mini festivals held the last Sunday of every month at Skinny’s Ballroom and Radio Station. I get to pick the weirdest of the weird, the most obscure, the least likely, the funniest, most wrongest, danciest, experimentalist, and bestest musicians, performers, and artists in Austin and from anywhere (touring?) at the time. I get to show you all what music I really really really really really like and what intrigues me the most right now. The facebook event page always has the most information provided about the event. It has already been featured in the Austin Chronicle too. Its kind of like getting a peek into my brain. If you want to see some video or photos or hear past shows they are available too. Meow Meow.
The third event is scheduled for 4/29 and starts at 3pm that Sunday. The following have been confirmed:
Guy Taylor will curate some songs for us in between bands. He’s got good taste.

This is amazing. I just found out about this just surfing youtube for “weirdo” music, but this resonates with me, pun intended, than more anglo modern music. Samsimar – Indang Pariaman
I think there is some perfect combination with what sounds like a casio keyboard sound and the vocals. (Not sure if that might even be some kind of well mixed native instrument!)
Some rad Shows coming up:

Shark Party, an Austin band with some promise, has some shows coming up. You have a chance to check them out at Cherrywood Coffeehouse on December 2nd with Dudes Die and special guests, and also on December 6th at Cheer up Charlies with Lead Pipe and Us…

Things are so strange, sometimes. My representation/interpretation of an anti-acl show(s) comes in three formats this year. How about a small intimate gathering of weirdos, who will treat you like instant family? Something, Something Inc. at Cherrywood Coffeehouse on Friday the 16th will do just that, while the Acro-Cats of Chicago will be at The City Theatre from September 12th through the 18th. 
F!@$ doing a festival when the “festival” is what we are lamenting? F!#$ getting a buttload of sponsors so that bands you see every day all day seven days a week can play in traffic you cant get around in, and people can get so drunk they get arrested. How about a nice quiet night for once? How about a Saturday night, like the 17th, where you can do and hear nothing but the sounds of your own voices, if you wish…NOTHING? Complete silence? Yes, on the deck at Cherrywood, Saturday night, there will be nothing, for your enjoyment. Hope you like it.

I have a friend in from out of town. I played this:
He thought of this:
While I thought of this:
“Doesn’t anyone knock anymore?” “What kind of synth is that?”

Some of you know, how much I love this band. Lo and behold, I FINALLY found the record I was looking for, (I do believe) their first release:
Not only does it have Moments In Love, but rougher, less polished versions of Beat Box. And edits and tracks I haven’t been able to hear yet. On Vinyl…
Thank you Backspin Records for having this!
