Welcome back kids. Now that most of the Gonzo Compadres have recovered from their varietal trips to SXSW, we're back and getting down to it. Well most of us anyway. John is in Hotlanta this weekend for Wrestlemania. Its his first trip to the big event despite a lifelong obsession with the squared circle. Sure, the … Continue reading Friday LinkFrogging – 4/1/11
Following just days after their Motorhead odyssey, Jibbies and Loond returned to Austin for SXSW 2011, and put the young'uns to shame with their stamina, tenacity, and liver power, like two superheroes powered by METAL!, rock, and alcohol. Loond got things started on Thursday afternoon at Emo’s with the Full Metal Texas day party. After the day-time bludgeoning it was time for the Small Stone Records … Continue reading Jibbies & Loond – Episode 004 – SXSW 2011, Pt. 1
RIP Welcome back boys and girls. All the Geeks are back from Austin and, in my case, points further south. Thanks to Matt for holding down the fort whilst I was in sunny Naples, Florida working as arm candy and dancing with the blue agave (which is quite different than Dancing at the Blue Iguana). … Continue reading Friday LinkFrogging – 3/25/11
It's Friday of SXSW. Day 2 for Jibbies, Day 3 for Loond. After roughly 24 hours of Small Stone immersion, its time for....well, more rock and metal! We stroll up on Dirty Dog's Bar and are instantly deflated. The line goes into the street and nearly out of sight. Fortunately, all the good mojo built … Continue reading Jibbies & Loond: Metalliance tour – SXSW 2011
dUg Pinnick (King's X) and Jeff Ament (Pearl Jam) have been trying to get their (joint) musical act together for the better part of 15 years now. As musicians in two very hard working bands, however, little more than small snatches of time could ever be cobbled together. Both men very much wanted to do it, … Continue reading Tres Mts. – Stubbs – Austin, Tex. – SXSW, Mar. 19, 2011
Bob Geldof evidently gave the keynote address at SXSW this year. I didn't know this despite being there because I was there to find the vitality in music he evidently thinks is a thing of the past. The only time I stepped foot inside the convention center was to use a clean toilet. I didn't … Continue reading Bob Geldof: Newest once-cool old bastard
If you enter Day 3 at SXSW without beginning to feel your momentum wane at least a little you're either a liar, a poseur (ie. not working a bit), or a meth-head. So it was for J&L as Saturday's festivities began. Fortunately, the combination of Tee Pee Records' diverse line-up and the cozy laid-back confines of … Continue reading Jibbies & Loond: Tee Pee Records SXSW Day Party special
What could possibly be better than spending an entire night getting blown away by Small Stone Recordings artists? Spending the first 6 rocking-hours of the next day doing it again! Loond got there early and had a great talk with Small Stone head Scott Hamilton, which we'll bring you as part of the next podcast. … Continue reading Jibbies & Loond: Small Stone SXSW Pt. 2 – The Day Party
Small Stone Recordings, one of the most righteous record labels on this earth, hosts a showcase for its bands each year at South by Southwest. Loond got there nice and early, established contact with label-head Scott Hamilton and did a quick interview with the vocally inimitable Jeff Martin of Lo-Pan. Jibbies showed up just a little … Continue reading Jibbies & Loond: Special Small Stone SXSW video edition
