Definitive Jux showcase OWNED except… Gerard Vs. Bear sez, “ALLPEOPLE AT EL-P SHOW…..GERARD HATE YOU …” - and the rest can’t be published on this blog due to expletives and uncouth language! Anyway here are clips from El-P’s live set, with John Herndon of Tortoise on the drums!

The Bella Union showcase was off the hook, with a line-up outside the venue. Robert Gomez show & proved with his 9-piece band of Texan troubadours!

The Postmarks wowee’d & zowee’d with a string of last minute SXSW dates. Here are clips from a soundcheck at Wired/BPM outdoor stage followed by the Blender bar show… More pics from Blender Bar via Matthew Solarski @ Pitchfork!

Pela rocked the pants off the crowd at the SESAC showcase with The Faint!

Hangin out at the fest - Esquire Award winners for best dressed band Colourmusic with Derek Brown who holds down the WF fort @ OK city… And a very happy looking Kevin Wortis sneaks into the photo too!

Star Death & White Dwarfs - “Chemical” [DOWNLOAD]

Stardeath and White Dwarfs was born in late 2004 in Oklahoma City, and released its debut EP in the spring of 2005. Members Dennis Coyne, Casey Joseph, Josh Jones, and Matt Duckworth create their own brand of genre bending sound that might occur if King Crimson and Coldplay got stoned and had sex with each other. In the mean time you can checkout their sense assaulting laser orgy live show throughout the Midwest and beyond. More about the band and 2 more free songs for download at dwarfspace
