Austin’s South by Southwest finished things up with countless showcases that made the last two days of the music festival a pick-and-choose affair that didn’t let up until the crack of 2 a.m. on Saturday night. For most festival goers, energy can run slim on these last two days, and seeing what you can before the festival’s end is essential to closing the book on yet another March festival edition. Here’s who we closed out our SXSW with on the final two days of our festival experience at Hotel Vegas for Space Agency Booking’s annual showcase along with a closing festival celebration at the Webberville Block Party followed by a return to Hotel Vegas to close out SXSW 2025.

New Year’s Eve 2023 at Hotel Vegas was something of a time machine. At the Austin East Side haunt, many chosen Austin acts came together to masquerade as bands of multiple genres across the eclectic periods of music’s past. This included but was not limited to covers of Judas Priest, Motorhead, Black Flag, Devo, and Bruce Springsteen by some of the best young musicians in the city

Live music review: Atlanta garage punks Black Lips rocked Parish with Gus Baldwin and Death Party

November 20, 2023 Case Cockrell 1771 Views Black Lips, Death Party, garage rock, Gus Baldwin, indie rock, live music, Parish, punk, Review

Atlanta’s Black Lips have kept this dream alive since the label’s dissolution. Since embarking on numerous tours and album cycles since 1999, the garage outfit has been a musical binge since their inception. With a stage show that goes the lo-fi, rocking distance, there was never a dull moment on Friday night at Austin’s Parish in the city’s East Side.
