SXSW party sneak peak over — stay tuned for more details shortly. – AD  

Aquarium Drunkard caught up with Lissie, the best pipes at SXSW, before her set at Mess With Texas in the midst of her whirlwind week in Austin. The following discussion veers from Throat Coat tea to Hulu faves…with a little music talk thrown in for the hell of it. Lissie is set to embark on [...]

(We brought Aquarium Drunkard’s J. Crosby with us to Austin last week—his first sojourn into the four-day romp that is SXSW. We traveled by car from L.A. to Austin. I asked Joe to keep a loose diary of events. Below are his notes. An homage to HST. Loosely based on facts, soaked in Lone Star [...]

Like last year, Aquarium Drunkard is kicking off our SXSW early and doing a night-party during Interactive at Red Eyed Fly with Scion, Saturday night, March 13th. This year we have local champs, and AD favorites, The Strange Boys and Harlem lined up along with Blair opening the show. I would advise getting there early [...]

It’s that time of year again. The time when team AD leaves L.A. and decamps for Austin, TX for a week of non-stop tex-mex, Lone Star, non-existent cabs, salty margaritas…and, of course, music. Come hang out w/ Aquarium Drunkard all day Thursday, March 18th, at Lamberts noon-6pm.  Free day-party = no badges/wristbands needed. Also, no [...]

It’s again that time of year: SXSW. In two weeks, hordes of artists, industry folks and fans alike will descend upon Austin for a non-stop marathon of music, friends, BBQ, beer, and yes, breakfast tacos.  Once again we’ll be there in a variety of capacities.  This is the first AD announcement, of three, per our [...]

February of 2007 saw the long-awaited DVD release of the 1970 psychedelic/schizophrenic gangster-meets-pop star tale Performance. Famously known as Mick Jagger’s on screen debut, Performance expertly captures the late sixties decadence and decline into hard drugs and paranoia.But for many of us, long before we saw a grainy VHS bootleg copy of the film, we [...]

This will do it for our ’08 SXSW coverage – but I wanted to make sure to throw up some photos from Saturday’s Hot Freaks party. Highlights included: The Whigs bombastic set on the Mohawk’s outside stage (at 1pm), Kevin Barnes covering the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and M.I.A.; Frankel’s John Cale-like cover of Nick [...]
