The Lemurs

Mar 15, 2007 Author: Veronica | Filed under: internet, music, sxsw, work

On Sunday night, Chow.com, Webshots and Consumating had a party at the Mohawk. It was unbelievably crowded (and intensified by the fact that it was thunderstorming, and so the outdoor sections weren’t being used) but the bands that I saw play there were awesome. One of those bands were The Lemurs, and Jesse and I talked to them a little bit after their set about being an unsigned band and how the Internet has made it possible for them to promote themselves.

The other band that I saw was called What Made Milwaukee Famous, and they were phenomenal. I’ve seen so many good bands since I’ve been here, I don’t even know where to start! Yesterday I hung out with Kurt Woolf from Download.com, and we were to a few different venues on 6th Street. We saw a band called Office (I saw James Iha in the crowd and I totally freaked out), and then we went to go see The Silos play down the street.

Later, I met up with Cameron, Tantek, Ryan K. and Sarah, and we headed over to Zona Rosa for another show. The Pipettes were playing when we got there, and I think we all fell in love with them a little. Go check out their site, and you’ll see why. Then as we were getting a drink, I heard that The Rapture were playing next, who I love! That was a nice surprise.

OK, gotta head back downtown. More later.

grrr… The Pippettes followed by The Rapture?
Some day I’ll move to SF.
Anyway, tomorrow here in Buenos Aires we’re having Roger Water’s Dark Side of the Moon revival.
Have you listen to Kings Of Convenience / Whitest Boy Alive (i.e. anything by Erlend Oye). Positively recommended!

The Pipettes are so amazing, if only I had known they were coming to the US “One Night Stand” and “Pull Shapes” have to be their best songs. How are they live, anyway?

If I can answer, Nick, I saw them this week, too, and they’re just as cute as you can imagine.

He likes your boots? Is that what he said in the end?

Great job on the videos. Keep on the great work. Glad to see Casey get some promo with cnet. That is big time.

The lonelygirl. Interesting facts: Some people don’t know that a few things that I have read: 1. one of the producers dropped out of their residency as a Dr (in med school) and get a loan from their Dad to start up the vlog & keep Jessica. 2. The bed scenes of Jessica’s is actually one of the producers bedrooms, they just switch the looks of it each time.
