Before Yard Dog, we went over to Pok-e-Joe's on 5th (sad side note, they have lost there lease and this fantastic spot for music, along with the great food is soon to meet with the wrecking ball). The Merge Records day show was there and we saw a great set by the Broken West.
Then we headed off to Yard Dog. We saw the end of Danbert Nobacon, and then sets by Deadstring Brothers, Mark Pickerel, Graham Parker, The Silos, Gore Gore Girls, and the Waco Brothers. THe highights were definitely the Gore Gore Girls and The Wacos. The Gore Gore Girls have kind of a kitchy 'outfit' type thing going on, but there music is great. Here's some pictures from the day:
And the Wacos
We then went to grab some dinner at Doc's and tried to watch a little basketball, we head to Beerland at night and caught a few bands, with the highlight being Cincinnati's own Buffalo Killers.
One day left, and then on Sunday it's the Alejandro Escovedo show that is the official unoffical end to SXSW. Can't wait

This is a shout out to Joe, for keeping us on schedule and for actually creating the schedule. Poke-e-Joe's was fantastic. Free Shiner..and The Broken West were great...a must see on 4/6 at SGH. The mac-and-cheese didn't stand up to BBQ Revue's, but the coolest of day show venues. Joe and Mel, Bloodshot was awesome. I love the Waco Bros. And, now I understand the significance of the essential earplugs. Thank you Waterloo. And, hats off to the band we thought would suck, Medicine F&#* Dream.
