Weedeater
One of the greatest things about South by? Surprise shows! As I pondered my limited choices for the evening of 3/21 in Austin, I received a text about a FREE and last minute show at Lovejoys. The bill included notables like Green & Wood (who I missed), local doom killers The Roller, Dark Castle, and the mighty Weedeater who killed the previous night (3/20) at the Tone Deaf Showcase!
I was in, and naturally a lineup like this in a tiny venue like Lovejoys was not disappointing. More pics from the killer show that ended my South By Southwest experience are below.
Weedeater are currently on tour and are scheduled to hit NYC on 4/10 at The Studio at Webster Hall with The Gates of Slumber, Black Tusk, and Struck By Lightning. Tickets for this killer (BV/Osiris-presented) four way are still available. Weedeater also added more headlining dates in April and May. Their updated schedule is also below...

Lots of wattage sitting up there.

Great Photos.
Weedeater is an amazing band and doesn't get nearly the respect they deserve as compared to some the more hyped "stoner" metal bands.

GREAT weedeater pics. True story, they played one of their first shows at my birthday party. a looooooong time ago. I'm pretty much an indiepop twee-head, so it's still funny for me to think about that. They are great though!

I think Stevie of Dark Castle has reached Dan Lilker status: it's weird seeing her wearing a shirt with sleeves. :/

i think its funny that one of the weedeater band members' shot his toe off prior to the tour. stoners + guns = bad music
