Abacus at Javelina Bar in Austin, TX for SXSW

 

While scarfing a huge plate of nachos in a forgettable  bar in Austin, TX I listened as Kylesa's Phillip Cope talked about his most memorable experiences as a member of the Savannah based swamp metal band. Cope also has a heavy hand in production at Columbia's Jam Room (Baroness, Black Tusk, Burnt Books) so it's not a surprise he talked a lot about recording at the BBC studios in London. The final task of our third day in Texas involved catching up with our neighbors from Georgia who had just finished playing a show down the street. We also talked a lot about SXSW and before parting ways Cope points out to Stereofly founder Greg Slattery, "You've brought an entire scene out here. That's impressive."

 

Two weeks ago this morning I took my first bike ride in Austin, TX and climbed on the banks of the Colorado River. It's how I like to introduce myself to a new city.  I was in town covering The Stereofly Showcase at the SXSW music festival held at Javelina Bar at 69 Rainey St on March 11-12, 2014. They had excellent sweet potato fries and a bike rack right in front of the club. Speaking of, I've never seen so many bicycles in my life before this cherry popping trip to South by Southwest. With over 20 South Carolina artists performing at the venue, rarely did it feel like I was far from home.  Here's the first of a two part series looking back on those two days in Austin, TX.
