DJ Valida’s SXSW Wrap Up
January 23rd, 2012 by admin
From Disk jockey Valida:
This having been my very first SXSW, I am happy to say it had been one of the best experiences ever and I can’t wait for next year. All of my expectations were met triple-fold — the amount of amazing music I got to hear, the new people I fulfilled and the old friends I reconnected with, the awesome restaurants…Not 1 negative in 5 days. Austin, you’ve been awesome!
Here are my own highlights:
*Seeing Duran Duran at the C3 party. They will played Rio and I died.
*Dancing the evening away to French Horn Rebellion and also Miami Hoor at the Windish party… *Seeing Jenny O. do a solo show at Cheer Up Charlie Manimal Vinyl showcase on Sunday, followed by a local wedding ring, Cowboy and Indian (whom, btw, are great!)
*Getting my Texas fix: a new pair of footwear at Allen’s on South The nation’s lawmakers!
*Hanging with all the KCRW fam, and especially at the official showcase at The Phoenix where I got to see Naked and Famous, Belle Brigade and Alexander
*Getting to listen to Foster The People, my fresh favorite band, twice within five days
Valida and Tedd from the Generationals
*Meeting Ted coming from Generationals at the Orchard Showcase and telling him or her about the album review Used to for KCRW. He was really wonderful in person and said he’d start following me on twitter…hmmm….
*Having a local music performer friend, Erin Ivey, to stay with and show me around. She was such a gracious number! The daily walk coming from Erin’s to 4th street am rejuvenating and just the amount of every day exercise I needed.
*Announcing bands at the Filter Magazine Culture Conflict Showcase Thursday-Saturday and meeting some of my personal favorites: Phantogram, Little Dragon, Raphael Saadiq…also Voxhaul Broadcast, Datarock, Hay’s Gym…Too a lot of to mention…*Having the best dinner at Justine’s on Sunday night. In the event that you’re into French cuisine, My spouse and i cannot recommend this enough…*Any hot dog stand that offers veggie pet dogs was a winner
*Spending the whole Weekend with my friend DJ Bouji who moved to NY last year
far more!
