Deli writer Melanie Gardner caught the ONOM show last night & had this to say: "Oh No Oh My headlined an unofficial late afternoon show at Lovejoys and had the crowd dancing all set long. The foursome played old material, as well as new songs from their upcoming album. The band’s light and cheerful keyboard playing drove the set, always keeping the poppy flow of heads bobbing in the audience. Lovejoys stayed relatively packed through the end, with new fans getting up and moving along to the catchy rhythmic vibe…"
Meanwhile I don’t know who’s booking for the new So Co diner Snack Bar, but nice work! They had San Saba County early and The Lemurs (photo below by Chris Carson) late; I missed SSC but the Lemurs stole the thunder from the nearby (and much larger) SXSanJose…they’re made up of some parts What Made Milwaukee Famous, some parts mysterious and many parts pop and guitar and synth. I walked away impressed…
Things are soggy now so we look back fondly on the sun-dappled deck at Jovitas where we caught Monahans followed by Matt the Electrician; things happen fast during SXSW and somehow we missed Dodecahexagoniconiggle, or whatever the crazy thing was that the Octopus Project unveiled at Whole Foods…but we’re looking forward to hearing about it. Anyone?
