Tons of pre-SXSW, national touring bands in town this week. Last week I went back to Largo for the Radar Bros. and Lambchop. That room sounds great. Still no liquor license, but you can run down the street for beer or wine and really confuse the people at Real Food Daily.
I've got some tickets to give away for Richard Swift this Friday at Spaceland. Email me (dukeufo at gmail) with the name of your favorite Swift song. The contest closes Thursday at 5:00 PM. Winners will be notified via email.
