learning secrets presents: sleigh bells @ beauty bar, october 9th 2010

tried to avoid the austin city limits festival as much as possible this year. got to leave town for work on thursday & even had a chance to stop in houston to hang w/one of my besties in her new/old digs.
couldn't stay away for the epicness @ @booty bar saturday night though. noise pop duo, @sleigh bells, were brought to town by the @learning secrets crew. i made it back to town just in time to wait during the longest soundcheck ever! i think there were some issues w/a sound board or something like it, whatever it was, it took a long time to get derek & alexis on stage. during the 2nd song, alexis' vocals were barely audible, but after that speed bump everything went smoothly. short. but smooth.
this was the 2nd time to see slay bells, & they have lived up to the slay part both times.
check out all the side stage shots i took!

drums of death, ian north & irresponsible voltron @ barcelona, june 11th 2009

all the hipsters' favorite raunchy goddess was supposed to play a show @ emo's last thursday nite. the boys from learning secrets convinced her and drums of death to play a lil' after party @ barcelona. it was designed to be EPIC! the show was slated to start @ 2 'til whoknows a.m.! peaches got stuck in dfw [thanks assholes!] for allegedly gettin' too rowdy in the plane... wonder if it was in the cockpit?!
drums of death, et. al. still kept the party bumpin' HARD 'til sometime after 4am. thanks to irresponsible voltron for gettin' things warmed up & to ian north for bringin' d.o.d. & closin' the night out. OF COURSE! the peen scene was all over the place for this one, check out their take on the revelin'. a special thanks to ryan & garret of the barcelona crew for gettin' me real lit! i managed to pass out in my car & woke up @ 8:30a.m. in front of that church on brazos & 9th. PERFECT!
check it!
