Primal Scream at the Cedar Courtyard
SXSW REVIEW THURSDAY: SXSW is no walk in the park let me to you – it’s more a walk down lots of streets but by-the-by it is really hard work. Endless standing around in the sun watching bands drinking free beer and eating fine BBQ food – phew! Someone has to do it right?
As tours go Shred Yr Face has two obvious things going for it a) a killer name b) a line up that could quite frankly make a nun start a circle pit. So with this being the last night you could be forgiven in thinking that maybe tour fatigue had kicked in and the bands were ready for a night in their own beds. With the entrance of first band Jedi Nites any worries of fatigue are crumpled into a small ball and punted into the nearest waste bin as the masked duo make their debut performance. The balaclaved pair made from other bands that may or may not be playing tonight tear through a surprisingly tight 3-song set. Despite having no idea who the duo are the crowd roar their delight.
