SXSW Live Blog | Hot Water Music Vs. Lucero
posted by Brian on March 15th, 2008 in Live Blogging, SXSW 2008I realized something important today: it’s extremely tough to really give an honest opinion on two bands you absolutely love seeing.
By far, Hot Water Music definitely has stolen the show for what I’ve seen so far at South by Southwest. Amazing songs, seminal band that any self-respecting punk fan would kill to see. Yes, they played all the jams, including “Free Radio Gainesville” and “Turnstile.” The jams you bleed for – the ones you recall when you were in high school singing along to when you were driving around town and trying to score some mid-day Taco Bell on the cheap.
It’s 1 AM and I’m eating up the fact Lucero’s playing “Tears Don’t Matter Much.” They are one of those bands that could perfectly cap off any evening…Whiskey soaked anthems that’ll stick with you until the wee hours when you realize, “hey, I’ve been drinking since 2 and this is seriously the best thing since I realized I can turn into a statue bear in Super Mario 3 and beat the game without using one of those silly whistles.”
I was stopped in the middle of this post by another fan, saying, “whoa, that’s a long text.” I had to clarify by explaining, yes, I am differentiating between HWM and Lucero. Two great performances that definitely are the highlights of my SXSW experience so far.
