Savages / Camper Van Beethoven

Last month we took over old Emo's at 6th & Red River for four full days of free, 2-stage BrooklynVegan day parties. The first, Wednesday, March 13, started off big with sets by Camper Van Beethoven (who are touring again in May), Robyn Hitchcock (who we hooked up with a mophie), Delorean, Caveman (who since played their biggest headlining show ever in NYC), Savages (who more recently played Coachella), Braids, and many more. We already postead a set of pictures from that day. Here's another.

We also want to thank Onkyo who was there sampling their new headphones which hit stores soon, as well as mophie, Jameson, Zico, Food For Lovers, American Apparel, Korg, Vox, Blackstar, Creative Recreation, Signazon, WILLCALL, NYC club Glasslands and Redigi.

If you've been watching this season of Portlandia and are already familiar with Ernest Greene's Sub Pop-signed project Washed Out, then you probably recognized the theme song as "Feel It All Around" (watch the video below). I wonder if he'll play that song out live anymore. We may find out at Club DeVille on March 16th for what will be Washed Out's only SXSW appearance (I think). RSVP for Rhapsody Rocks at Eventbrite.

This is at least three SXSW shows for Zola Jesus who is also playing the Fader Fort and Captured Tracks showcase. She is sadly not playing a BrooklynVegan show this year, though we are proud to say she played one in 2010!
