YachtThough SXSW advertises (advertised) that they run through Sunday (March 18, 2007), the festival is pretty much over after Saturday night. Most people have left Austin by Sunday afternoon, and there were only even three official music showcases to pick from on that last night – two of them at Emo’s – one of which was all cover bands, and the other which was a mix of wacky, sometimes humorous dance and hip hop. Performers on the “wacky” bill included V.I.P., Grand Buffet, DJ Jester the Filipino Fist, and Yacht.

I stayed that extra night, and so I was psyched that there was at least one performer left in town that I really wanted to see (Yacht) (Steaming Wolf Penis next door at Beerland was tempting though).

[full disclosure: I actually did try to see Steaming Wolf Penis, but I missed them by a second, so I went back to Emo’s even though there was a Queens of the Stone Age-related reunion going on after Steaming Wolf Penis.]

Yacht (aka Jona [pronounced JOHN UH)] from the Blow] was entertaining. His performance (much like Khaela’s from the Blow who Jona doesn’t seem to tour with) is just him singing, and dancing, and acting “silly” on stage. All the background music is pre-recorded – he just hits play on his laptop or iPod. I was cynical at first, but was totally into it by the end.

Yacht is coming to Brooklyn on April 14th to play Cinders Gallery with Telepathe. Then he’ll play Bard College on the 15th, and then he’ll end his NY run with a show at Hiro Ballroom on the 16th that also has Professor Murder and Gang Gang Dance on the bill. More pics and tour dates below…..

YACHT (aka Jona Bechtolt) will release his third full-length album, I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real. on May 8, 2007 on Portland’s Marriage Records. YACHT will also release a collection of remixes he’s done for other artists (including Mirah, Tussle, Architecture in Helsinki and more) on States Rights Records, titled Our Friends in Hell. On May 5 in Portland, OR YACHT will stage “the most epic CD release party ever” on an actual yacht.
