Sxsw Best To Worst

The bands I saw this week that I can recall right now.
1The Dear Hunter
Act I: The Lake South, the River North


They had an amazing set and City Escape was probably one of the coolest songs
I've ever seen a band perform.
2 The Dear Hunter
Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading


They played their more chill songs this time on the top of Whole Foods and The
Pimp and the Priest was really cool. This was basically a private show since there
were around 5 people standing and I got to meet Casey this time around.
3Inter Arma
Sky Burial


Really awesome atmospheric vocals and sludgy instrumentals. Never listened to
these guys until I saw them.
4Royal Thunder
CVI


Red 7 Patio with Relapse Records
5Inter Arma
Sundown


Saw them at Mohawk as well. Their sound was a little off and there were a few
technical problems but they were still my favorite band of the day.
6HRVRD
From The Bird's Cage


Opened for the dear hunter and was surprised with how good they were. Got their
album for free too.
7Howl
Full of Hell


These guys played at the Relapse show and were pretty damn entertaining.
8Royal Thunder
Royal Thunder


Saw them at Mohawk after Inter Arma and couldn't seem to stay interested. I liked
them much better the second time around.
9Black Tusk
Set the Dial


These guys were a lot of fun they were just insanely drunk which hurt their
performance quite a bit.
10Soul Khan
Soul Like Khan


This dude is fucking hilarious.
11I the Mighty
Karma Never Sleeps


Played before HRVRD. These guys were also surprisingly good and had lots of energy.
12City and Colour
Little Hell


Dallas played a lot from little hell. I was a little upset he didn't play day old hate.
13Skeleton Coast
Skeleton Coast


After a few technical problems were solved these guys played great as always.
14 The Mowgli's
Love's Not Dead


I didn't really like their music that much but they put on a good show.
15Set it Off
Cinematics


Their music is pretty gay but they had so much energy which actually made it a lot
of fun.
16Ed Tullett
Never Joy


He was a really cool guy and had some good songs but I missed half his set waiting
in line for the bathroom.
17Northern Faces
Southern Places


Really nice guys but their music is not really my cup of tea.
18Call of the Void
Dragged Down A Dead End Path


These guys were a little bit boring when I saw them at the Relapse showcase.
19Tegan and Sara
The Con


I left after 2 songs because I was dead tired and they were playing newer stuff I
had never listened to.
20Kosha Dillz
Beverly Dillz


Eh he was okay but he seems like a cool guy from talking to him.
21Encrust
From Birth to Soil


These guys were pretty damn boring and their music isn't my favorite.
22ASG
Win Us Over


They sounded good but every time I became interested it swiftly faded.
23Cold War Kids
Robbers and Cowards


God damn they were disappointing. None of their best songs were played and they
seemed so sluggish and bored on stage.
24Skeletonwitch
Beyond the Permafrost


Same story as Cold War Kids except they had more energy, however their guitar
and bass tones were very off putting and distracting and their vocals were pretty
disappointing. Not to mention the people around me in the crowd were a bunch of
dicks.
