SXSW Recap | Day 4 – Voxtrot, The Duke Spirit + more

Posted: March 27th, 2006 | Author: justin | Filed under: music, tx | 11 Comments »

My very first SXSW trip was a blast, although I didn’t get to see every single band that I wanted to see (Band of Horses, What Made Milwaukee Famous, The Black Angels, and Stars of Track and Field – had keyboard issues), I caught a couple that I didn’t think I liked (read: Voxtrot). Voxtrot turned out to be the real surprise of SXSW, for me at least, everyone already seemed to love them, but I never really took to them. All that changed on Saturday when I caught their live show twice at The Velvet Spade and Factory People. I was really impressed with their day show performance, but they really blew me away later that night at Factory People. On the hand, I caught Tapes ‘N Tapes a second time at The Velvet Spade and the band did nothing for me, nothing. Myself and a few others aren’t quite sure what all the hype is about. To each his own, I guess.

The other very exciting band that I saw on Saturday was The Duke Spirit. Their performance was right up there with the rest of my SXSW favorites. I was extremely happy to finally see their live show. Other acts I caught on Saturday included: Small Sins, Hot Chip, Camera Obscura, and White Rose Movement.

Not sure if I’ll be going back next year, but if I do I probably won’t be buying a wristband since there are so many day shows and parties where you can see the same bands as the showcases.
