Australian Acts at SXSW

Airborne

As usual Airborne put on a great show to a packed out crowd. There were quite a few locals headbanging along – and Joel did his usual thing of jumping on the bar and playing his guitar along it.

I didn’t manage to catch Dallas Crane play but i did see them at an Aussie get together with free drinks.

Youth Group

This was Youth Group at a great open air venue on Cedar St. They’re quite popular over here and played a number of well received shows.

Macromantics

Macromantics among the crowd at a daytime gig. I can spot Travis Bigstereo in the background of this shot.

Josh Pyke

Josh Pyke was actually in a much better mood than this photo would suggest. He’d just found out his album had debuted at number 4 in the ARIA chart.

Children Collide

Children Collide played a great gig on the opening night.

Mink

I’d never seen Mink before but was impressed. They’ve got an ex INXS Rockstar contestant on vocals and he’s got all the rock moves down.

the presets at Beauty bar

The Presets pulled a big crowd on the Beauty Bar patio. They seem to have a lot of local fans after a number of US tours.

Expatriate

My faves Expatriate played before Children Collide on the opening night at Red 7.
