SXSW 2007 : Day 2 Print
Features
Written by Chris Fore
Tuesday, 20 March 2007

Day 1 was long and tough, but Day 2 wasn't as bad.  We got a later start and watched a bunch of NCAA basketball before hitting the circuit.   We got to see a secret performance by Slash @ a Red Bull Party and then hit up the Blender Bar for the New Line showcase for most of the night.  More than enough to keep us busy.

 

Slash @ Red Bull Party

We got into the "secret" Red Bull Party and saw Slash play with a cover band.  They rocked out on "Feel Like Makin' Love" and some Southern rock classics.  Epic.

The Sights @ Blender Bar

One of the earlier acts of the New Line/Scratchie showcase @ Blender Bar.  Totally ripped through a half-dozen songs, eventually bringing out guitar pimp Danny Muggs on stage.  Some serious fun was had on stage

Midnight Movies @ Blender Bar 

An interesting mix between all of the rock bands.  Grooved their way through some new stuff off their upcoming album.

SSM @ The Ale House

Detroit threesome back with main drummer, Dave Shettler.  Rocked out with strobe lights and the works.  So sweet.

Office @ Blender Bar 

A solid in-betweener.  Lead singer Scott Masson wore a wig onstage, which he pulled off about halfway through.  They played a bunch of solid tunes from Q&A, including "Dominoes".

Definitely kept the momentum going.  Some songs off their recent EP made them stand out.  Members of Office eventually joined them onstage.

Menomena @ Buffalo Billiards 

Unfortunately, it took them about 45 minutes to set up, which left them really short on time.  They played about four songs, which was a mix of old and new.  Most of the time, however, a really crappy mosh pit broke out near the front of the stage.
