As you have probably guessed... I am not going to SxSW, however vicariously I do get some benefit from the event. 
Last night the Twilight Singers, fronted by Greg Dulli... love him, love him..... cant say enough about him....AND.... Drummer Bobby McIntyre were... oh so sweaty and rockin'.. sigh.. They played at this great little dive bar in Glendale CA, called the Scene... this was the set list, supposedly,of what they'll play at SxSW next week, anyway.... as usual, only 20 tickets at the door, doors open at 8pm... I get there at 7pm, number 6 in line, and start reading my book... I was suppose to go with a friend, but she canceled, so I went with the book, a reading light, and an umbrella.... it called for rain in LA.....so for a mere $15.00 cover I was in and picked a seat at the bar..... ordered a beer and read my book for FOUR hours.... band went on at 12:30, man they were killin' me with the wait... They rocked the first set! and did the obligatory encore... out by 1:45........ It was great and worth the wait... they did a bridge of Aerosmiths Dream On.... yummy!
I love the rock show at dive bars... just me & the band & 80 or so of our closest friends.... it's what I love most about being in LA.... the ability on ANY night of the week to see GREAT music at a multitude of small venues...
