SXSW: Bradford Schmidt Has a Date With Rogue Wave Today

Yep, Bradford “The Meatist” Schmidt is in Austin covering SXSW. So far, we know that he didn’t catch Motorhead Tuesday night.

From what we gather from Bradford’s Twitter (@boneinthefan) postings yesterday:

• Bradford caught New York art-rock darlings the Walkmen, was impressed by the farfisa, and made this editor insanely jealous. It’s impossible to take non-blurry shots of this band, by the way.

• Some poor fashion choices of fellow festival-goers got on his nerves.

• The Fader Fort is still as much of a clusterscrew as we remember.

• Stone Foxes kicked ass.

• Tweet of the Day: “Sure way 2 tell #sxsw band isn’t cool: they

  say ‘that is how fucking cool we are’ and they’re serious.” We could not agree more. Runner-up: Note to all you

  retro bands: ‘more cowbell’ was a joke.”

More to come, including what I think might be some We Were Promised Jetpacks coverage.
