Our SXSW experience was surprisingly good. Had a rough, rough start, but smooth out everything. . . sorta. We left Houston on Tuesday morning around 9:30am. We we're suppose to leave around 7:30 - 8am, but our van ran into some problems. The rear-left tire had a nail in it & the van's engine needed motor oil. My father (Bradley's) practically did all the work... Raced to the Auto shop for motor oil and changed out the tire. After all that was cleared, we speeded to Austin.
Jonathan was checking on his iphone to see what time we perform @ CO-LAB on Allen st. "11:30am," it said. I read on the internet that Female Demand was suppose to perform @ 12:15pm. We didn't took any chances so we raced to Austin, TX. Exactily we got to CO-LAB @ 11:30am. . . (i was busting 90mph on the highway)
Jonathan asked the promoter what time Female Demand was suppose to play. "12:15"
Until 12:15pm showed it's face, the fire marshalls showed up! The Fire Marshalls were asking for a sound permit and a event permit. The promoter had it, but mis placed it somewhere so our timeslot was pushed back . . . We said bye and left. For the rest of the day we rode our bikes.
Wedneday rolled by and we needed to perform @ Cherrywood Coffeehouse.
Now with this gig, it went a lot better then the CO-LAB since it didn't got pushed back, but we ran into some technical dificulties. Jonathan's kick pedal busted at the best time in SXSW, the bitch shitted a brick. Luckaly the other bands let him used there kick pedal, but it was kinda tricky for him since the damn thing kept sliding away. He was pissed.
Thursday, regular day for us. Nothing but networking, bike riding, and lots of beers. Same goes for Friday. Now it's Saturday night, the last night for SXSW. We jus recently got added to the bill with "The Mathletes" @ some bar near E35rd st. or something like that. 10:30pm we're performing-we're excited. Other than that, we might performing @ a bridge party with B L A C K I E and American Sharks. Hopefully everything goes acording to plan. :)
