SXSW Liars Contest!
We’ve long been admirers of Liars; they seem untouched by their peers, always exploring their own sonic pallet. Luckily, they have an incredible live show to back up their ridiculously respectable musical chops. You’ll all get a chance to glimpse them in Austin this week (if you’re here, that is). But, to top that off, we’ve got a killer contest brought to you by the friendly people at Mute Records that will allow you to win a package with all the band’s works, and a bonus disc of their latest, Sisterworld, with reinterpretations from the likes of Thom Yorke and Devandra Banhart. Leave us a comment with your favorite SXSW moment, and we’ll select 3 winners! Contest will end Tuesday, March 16th 12 PM CST. Good luck.
Make sure to make it out to these SXSW dates:
3/18 @ Insound Day Party – 4 PM & 3/19 Billions Showcase – 1 AM
We bet that closing set at Antones will be one of the best moments of SXSW!
My craziest moment from SXSW had to be going to the Rachel Ray party to see The Hold Steady, then getting so drunk there that I had to go home before The Hold Steady even took to the stage. I blame you Rachel Ray.
My favorite SXSW moment would have to be ending a 14 hour day of drinking and shows by dancing in some random dude’s living room listening to MSTRKRFT. Don’t even remember how I got there or what his name was…
My favorite sxsw moment was seeing Lou Reed at fader party in 2007.
OR seeing some classy ladies get finger blasted by 2 Live Crew on stage. Once again at Fader. Hope I see something similar to that at the ATH Party.
Stephanie, it sounds like this man obviously roofied and kidnapped you. And then made you dance. What a creepster.
My craziest moment of SXSW was my first year attending in 2006. I had just moved to Austin and was walking down Red River by myself around 1am when I noticed a man walking towards me with a guitar case. I noticed a familiar mop of hair and did a double take. “Holy sh**” I said to myself, and the guy with the guitar heard me and looked up. It was Thurston Moore! He was just walking to his car after a gig he played earlier in the evening. We met near the Velvet Spade (now the Mohawk). I really wanted to ask him fan questions but the conversation was all about SXSW and what artists we had seen. We chatted for about 3 minutes or so and it is still one of my favorite encounters of all time.
My favorite SXSW moment was seeing No Age last year. Get drunk and have a lot of fun…
