Ledaswan played 3 shows around 6th St during SXSW. We met a lot of people, got very little sleep and had way too much fun. Here are some clips from our trip. Walking through the streets of Austin, playing Spill on Sixth, Treasure Island, and hanging out at the Cedar Door. There is beer involved, warning in case that's not your things. If it's not, then SXSW is not for you.
Thank you to everyone who came to the show at The Warhol this last Friday. It was a day to remember a good friend. Jason Sandbach would have turned 32 that day. We saw videos, pictures and told many stories. We also had his favorite friend rice courtesy of his Mom who wanted everyone to share in his favorite food. We also had some great music that night. Eyez Low featuring Hip Rock Hustlaz did a great job. Ledaswan came on after midnight and play till about 1:30am. This was Jackee's first show with us on bass and we definitely felt her presence on stage. We cannot wait for the shows in Austin. A big thank you to Brandon at The Warhol. He really take care of everything that night. Thank you again, and we hope to see you soon.
Our show last Friday night was an amazing show, we played several new songs and it was great to see people I knew out there and getting new people at the bar to stop dead in their tracks and pay attention to us. It was also our last show with bassist Amanda Flores, she was with Ledaswan for at least 4 years. It was a good farewell show for her. And although it seems she's leaving at a time that the band is getting ready to take some important steps. It's always for the better of the band and individual members in the band as it seems we all now are on the same page of working towards a common goal, and not waiting for someone to jump on board. It also means new opportunities for our music. We are getting ready to play a few important showcases at one of the world's biggest and most important music conferences....SXSW and we are definitley looking forward to playing to an industry saturated type of crowd. At the same time it's a bit scary but it's never felt so natural. I feel at this point we are ready to take things to the next level. I'm so happy that our friend Jackee of San Antonio based all girl punk band Heather Go Psycho is helping to fill in on bass for these shows. She's a fast learner and she has an amazing voice. I'm happy to be playing with her. She bring a humerous and outgoing personality and it's a lot of fun to rehearse again. Something that I guess had been missing. It feels good to not skip a bit at times like this. Just another test.
