I’m only about 3 months late with posting these pictures, but here’s some photos of day 1 and 2 of the SXSW Music Festival.
There was some great acts including Bloc Party, Amy Winehouse, The Presets, The Pipettes and plenty more.
Kirsten Dunst’s boyfriend, Johnny Borrell of Razorlight shows off his six pack.
Day 1 includes photos of The Young Knives, Yo Majesty, Razorlight, Pete Townshend, Children Collide, Expatriate, Mumm Ra, Macromantics, Lily Allen, Jamie T and more.
Day 2 includes photos of Youth Group, The Presets, The Pipettes, The Fratellis, The Dears, The Bravery, Bloc Party, Amy Winehouse and more.
Daddy’s girl Amy Winehouse played an early set at a British BBQ.
If you consider that i saw just a tiny fraction of the bands who were playing on those days it gives you an idea of the breadth of acts on show at SXSW. Well over 1000 come to Austin for the four days.
Lily Allen headlined the NME event at Stubbs. That didn’t stop her having a rant at how much she hates the mag.
Children Collide played a typically energetic set.
Yes, The Bravery still exist.
The Presets played to a capacity crowd at The Beauty Bar.
I took time out from the bands to go to the Roller Derby with a posse
of Sydneysiders.
Lethal Bizzle. I don’t know anything about them. Or is it a him?
The Pipettes. Rivalling Amy Winehouse for best looking act act the festival.
Gwenno.
Peter and Bjorn. Still no John to be found.

Miss Macro.
Pete Townshend of The Who did an interview onstage.
Yo Majesty. Florida’s finest lesbian rap trio.
Mumm Ra, a youthfully energetic brit band.
Honeycut were a funk sort of band.
Next year, dear sir, I’m coming with you. Fact.

MY SHOES!!
i’m always floored by your photos… even more floored to see photos from shows i was at.
hey Dan, I just saw the Pipettes last night and boy were they amazing! They’re very charming gals indeed. Isn’t Rose just the cutest?!
…and i think i’m going to move up to a 5D from the 10D. better autofocus and image quality at high ISOs is what i’m after.
Is is just me or do the heads of Amy Winehouse and Pete Townesend look a little large for their body? Surely the proportions seem wrong. Or do they have small bodies?
like an oxygen tank for the eyes. I can breathe! you somehow don’t make texas look as hot as it feels. granted, this year, the weather was actually quite mild. thank you always for sharing your photos. I’m your disciple!
