Seattlest is quaking in their boots (bought especially for the occasion) with excitement for this years SXSW in Austin, Tex. We're making our initial sojourn to the festival and are so pleased to see there will be a strong Seattle contingent joining us in Austin this year.

SIFF runs a tight ship. Even though their Face the Music party at Neumo's last night had a bajillion bands on the bill---all of whom were doing ~20 minute sets chockful of covers, as a tribute to musicians featured in films at the festival--- somehow they were actually running ahead of schedule. How often does that happen at a regular rock show, let alone one with eleven musical acts? Somebody must've been cracking the whip. Truly, this slavedriver should be commended.

The final full week of SIFF is upon us. It's time to get some last few films before the sun sets on this year's fest. This week's got a couple great music events as well: Friday night, Portastatic will be on hand to perform a specially-commissioned live score accompanying circus freakshow-themed silent film The Unknown (more about that in a few days).

Seattlest serves up musical jambalaya for the masses… Delicious!

After witnessing the travesty of justice known as the Oscars, Seattlest yelled at the television, complained about the idiocy of the Academy, and railed against the ham-handedness of the "best picture." Then we calmed down (with the help of a few drinks) and headed to the Rendezvous for some down-tempo music. We were there to see Trespassers William, a SoCal-based four-piece who relocated to Seattle to record their latest album, Having, released last Tuesday. While the music did serve to soothe our weary, rageful soul, ultimately, it didn't leave much of a lasting impression.
