Best Post-Show Message Ever
I had another incredible year hanging out in Austin, TX for the SxSW Music Festival. I always leave with more friends and good memories in my pockets. As I recover from the craziness, here is one gem that someone wrote me following my Bent Compass Party showcase at Rain on 4th:
“Great show last night, Avi! Oh yeah and also, I won a free butt plug from that “party” after your show. Sxsw just gets better and better!”
Amen, brother. Amen.
SxSW Shows 2012
It’s time again for thousands of bands from around the world to descend upon Austin, TX and eat the town out of all its amazing BBQ. I’ll be returning for the fun this year, doing a couple of shows, including putting together The Bent Compass Party. If you know anyone in the music industry, send them my way – I’ll be handing out free music everywhere and searching for my favorite SxSW Brownie.
