Efterklang Play Spaceland on TuesdayI managed to catch some good live stuff last week. The highlight was The World Record and Radar Brothers at some art space in Highland Park. The World Record is one of the most underrated local bands. Ross Flournoy and Brian Whelan (both formerly of the Broken West) joined the band for this show. And it was the first proper Radar Brothers' show with the new lineup (Dan Iead of the Broken West and Brian Cleary and Stevie Treichel from the Movies) great stuff. The guy dancing by the door with his shirt off was pretty amazing. What did he mean by "Get used to it?"
This week's the music part of SXSW, so there's not a lot of choice each night, but the town's not shutting down...
