SXSW’08: Cabeza’s Discoveries pt1
just 1 night down at SXSW, but here’s 2 very good bands we stumbled onto:
Afenginn : Copenhagen, Denmark
We caught them by chance while grabbing dinner at Rio Grande - the brisket taco’s were bland, but these bad ass gypsy pickers brought the Danish Sabør - very melodic and inventive klezmer jams. And their bass player is disgusting/
…
AND
…
The Aggrolites : Los Angeles, CA
It was nearing 1AM, and the Black Keys showcase had an absurb line outside, so we took a chance on the Flamingo Cantina - IMHO the most reliable venue on 6th street. The Aggrolites dropped our jaws immediately with their air-tight Ska/Reggae/Funk stew- like The Specials meets James Brown in East LA. They had this vato on the B3 just rippin it up…really impressive live band/

I happen to know Afengin’s bass player very well and feel disturbed by your
phrase describing him as “disgusting” when most of us here in Denmark
think the opposite. Is this kind of your professionjal slang or you really mean it?
How was he that evening in Austin ?
