ok, for fucks sake, plz do a writeup on Delta Spirit. They are definitely deserving an artist to watch showcase... ok so maybe they're not as crazy and experimental as many other bands. But good god its great music. Great for road trips esp.
also:
colour revolt, YES.
ps. Flatstock: amazing. the best/worst money trap at SXSW for art geeks. its incredible.

I assume this venue, being a niteclub, shuns people who haven't lived at least 21 years.
Or is there some miracle that a 19 year-old like me could be admitted????
