Just back from Austin. Merrick Brown, Kid 606, DGP and DJ Assault ripped it up last night, although attendance seemed a bit slim. Some of the DGP material was a new direction from what I heard @ DEMF, and I like it, particularly the last song (perharps Andy Toth can fill us in)? Merrick played a *really* diverse set in his typical style - always a personal fav. Kid 606 was all over the place. Very interesting material, all from 2 laptops. And this was my first time seeing DJ Assault. I hope my body will never convulse quite like that again. :) Thoroughly enjoyable.
I was also blessed with the opportunity to see Lee Scratch Perry and the Mad Professor the night before and some great Japanese punkabilly the night before that. Austin's a great place and city goes nuts for the festival. Highly recommended for those who can make it next year. Unfortunately with 900 bands in 5 days, there's only so much you can see. So I missed some of the other great acts. Anyone else see anything less well-known of 313 relevance. Wish I saw the Ecstacy of St. Theresa, but they were playing opposite the Mad Professor.
