The Summer Concert Series kicked off last Thursday with a set from the Beat Connection over at Red 7. The opening acts were on the level but it was Beat Connection who had us dancing by the end of the night. Red 7 was a new venue for me and they had some interesting choices for service. All in all it was good time for a school night. Continue reading Beat Connection Didn’t Have To Call Collect
Hey it’s been awhile since I actually posted. I decided not to do a SXSW retrospective because, well, like last year was the year of the laptop, 2012 was the year of the stand up drum set. I guess people needed some better live drum sounds to go with the loops. That was on witness last Friday as I took time to see School of Seven Bells with Exit Music at the Mohawk.

You may have been wondering where I’ve been in the last month. Typically I would be dumping SXSW bands I’m into seeing this year or at the very least reviewing a concert or two down here in Austin. Welp, I decided to put my music where my mouth is and participate in the RPM Challenge. I beat it and with days to spare. So come with me and let me spin a tale of hard work and somewhat epic music making. Continue reading Hokey Has Arrived
