NY2LON (New York to London) is a reaction to the lag time of discovering new music from across the ocean, a new movement that was conceived and developed to introduce artists from the UK to US music fans and vice versa. SXSW Is So Last Week... a recap.. Back In New York Here's my take on SXSW. I've decided that there are too many people for too few legitimately good parties. So you get a log-jam at the Playboy party entrance, and about a thousand empty showcases where bands are playing to their manager, sound guy, and #1 fan (sometimes manifested in one guy, unshowered and with a ponytail). That said, I had a fucking blast. Above is a picture of NY2LON favorite the morning benders getting interviewed by John Norris of MTV News - mics, cameras and all. Check out the background - not your average sxsw gig. It was taken at the +1 House party at Hank Sinatra's house, where the stage was made of junk, and there was a pen full of goats and chickens in the yard. Hank himself might be the coolest motherfucker in history. Picture's worth a thousand words: Highlights from the house party? The whole fucking thing. Explorer's Club were a revelation. Peggy Sue & The Pirates impressed. The Morning Benders were fresh and the perfect vibe to complement the gorgeous Texas sunset. The Heavy and Two Gallants brought the thunder.
