#freeweek: the means @red_7 + bonus foto shoot + "stand up" single, january 4th 2011

this was pretty much it for me during free week oh.eleven.
i was totally drained from my 2 week xxxmas/nye staycation in austin.
started gettin' sick 'round this specific night.
a bummer, but did manage to get some much needed rest for these 30+ y/o bones.
my homeboy dialek fronts this 4-5 piece unit called the means.
they have been playing around austin for the better part of oh.ten & it feels like oh.eleven is gonna bring some well deserved attention their way.
the fellas opened up this hip hop showcase to a good crowd of headz. i was stoked to hear quite a number of new tracks they've been working on since i last saw 'em.
check 'em out on stage:

The Means - Stand Up @ ComandanteQuito

free week 2010

this year i did not get a chance to revel in the amazingness that is free week.
it was free week on steroids. there were waaaaay more venues. waaaaay more bands. waaaay more fun. it seemed like a smaller/cooler version of sxsw.
it all started waaaaay back in the evening january 8th, 2010.
@ the mohawk i got to check out cartright.
@ the parish the house was packed for auto body & l.a.x.
@ booty bar betaplayer & prince klassen held it down.
