Show Pics: Ramesh Release Party (9/18)

September 20, 2014 brian.gray

A big thank you to all who braved the elements on Thursday night to come hang with us. The show had a feeling of family as everyone was a familiar face. Ramesh shared a few stories of roommates and eating bugs. We spilled beer, cleaned it up, danced quite a bit and I was on hand to get photographic evidence of two great sets, She Sir opening and Ramesh celebrating this great new record. All hail, The King.

Won’t you join in a photographic journey as we pretended to ignore the flood outside…

No! This is not Bob Marley’s Wailers, but the great Austin act, the Whalers. They’re celebrating the release of their new single by throwing a great show over at the Belmont this Saturday night. What’s even better, they’re letting us give away a pair of tickets to the show! If you’re not convinced yet, check out the incredible Austin talent supporting them: Tiger Waves, The Baker Family and Jesse Woods. I’m pretty sure anyone with good tastes will want to make their way out. All you have to do is leave a comment with your 4th of July plans, and I’ll pick a winner. Our contest will close at 5 PM on Friday, July 5th. Good luck….and if you don’t win, you can still go check out great Austin music.

SxSW Pics: Jesus and Mary Chain @ The Belmont

March 28, 2012 brian.gray Leave a comment

Still more coverage of the conference left…

Every SxSW, I like to pick a night to just camp out at a bigger venue and take in some stuff I may already know usually with the headliner that is trying to be cool. Duran Duran palyed last year’s Wednesday line up at Stubb’s that included Yuck and Rapheal Saadiq. I chose the Belmont on the Thursday night of the conference to catch The Jesus and Mary Chain with Cold Showers, Night Beats, (a band we shall ignore) and Titus Andronicus.

It was a night of noise and feedback and awesome. I made some new friends from Brazil and in the Russian Space Program, ran into old friends in the crowd and managed to meander through a freshly remodeled and tightly packed Belmont patio room to get pics from both sides of the stage (quite a feat).
