Electric Touch, Lucky Lounge, June 13, 2009

Electric Touch looked and sounded great last night at Lucky Lounge. They opened the set with their own material, songs from their CD and a few new ones. I'm definitely looking forward to some new material from these guys. In a surprise twist, the second half of the set was covers, for the Saturday night party crowd. Playing mini tribute sets of Clash, Ramones, Iggy Pop with a few other Brit-pop bands peppered in, ET did major justice to these classic songs. Lead singer Shane Lawlor is the perfect frontman, and these pictures and videos should prove the energy and charisma his performance.

Saturday, SXSW 2009

I started my day with a film, Rip: A Remix Manifesto. It's a fantastic documentary about intellectual property and remixing digital content. I will definitely be talking about in class. Then, had planned to visit Rachael Ray party, but that's one popular gal. See the crowd and line to get in. I asked one guy near the front how long he had been waiting, and he said 2 1/2 hours. Wow!
