But they’re playing to much bigger crowds than they did last year.

They played a “new song,” and it goes a little something like this:

Previously:

• Surfer Blood does Pavement better than Pavement

“But Liz Phair is playing.”

“I don’t really care about Liz Phair.”

It’s so cozy and nice. It’s not affiliated with SXSW. They do their own thing and it rules. No corporate bullshit. No hordes of photographers. No VIPs. Just rock ‘n’ roll.

That’s Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Made me want to shake it even more than Little Dragon did, and with way more primitive technology.

After rousing sets by Limes and Harlan T. Bobo at the Goner Records showcase, I left Beerland to go catch the Black Lips and Little Dragon at the Dickies party. But I knew I wanted to return for Quintron and Miss Pussycat a couple hours later. And I knew my stamp wouldn’t live that long.

So I snapped a pic. And it was honored! By Beerland! The club that so famously doesn’t care about your shitty blog or anything.

Beerland rules!

Lots of elbows in the pit! It was a decent-sized pit, and at least a few people in the crowd seemed to be familiar with the band. Saw Aziz Ansari next to me doing the pogo.

Black Lip Cole took his penis out at the end.

Well, I hate thinking, but maybe he’s right.
