I performed the cardinal sin of watching a London band I’ve seen many times before in Austin. Actually I’m guilty on two counts yesterday with Bo ningen and Teeth of the Sea performing at their showcases and I’m quite happy to endure the 9 circles of hell for the Privilidge. Bo ningen were performing at […]
SXSW Day 3
Yesterday might have been simultaneously been the best and worst day I’ve ever had at SXSW. Barring the desperate state of hungoverness that I inherited from Wednesday night, the amount of queuing we were having to do was starting to take an emotional toll on me.

The Lexington SXSW Playlist

The Lexington at SXSW 2014

Our little team consists of Stacey (The Lexington’s top dog), Matty (the venue booker), Chris (the manager) and Marcus (the Buffalo Bar/White Heat), […]
