S.O.T.B.

WOW! It’s been six months since my last post. A lot has happened since then and only half was caught on camera. And of that half, only .01% has been edited. I’ll save you all the long story of how my computer and camera both died because we Frankensteined them back to life. This is the first thing I’ve cut in several months. Big ups to Audio Porn & Alejandro Jodorowsky for the soundtrack. And thanks to Fantastic Fest for making it all come true.

RIP Don LaFontaine and Jerry Reed.

Today at the Alamo Ritz lobby bar SXSW film lovers were treated to some sunken funky treasures. From 11am-5pm little known Michigan wax melter DJ HAS, pictured above, owned the 1’s & 2’s. The cold and unquiet storm that threatened to turn the town into a sloppy jalopy was stopped dead in its tracks by the sweet soulful sounds of HAS and his part time collaborator LOOCH. HAS audio historian DR.T. layed out a six hour set of continuous, non-filler, soul buttering jams from such classic HAS collections as Crate Bangers and The Five Fingers Meet the Face. If you missed out on Monday’s scoop, look for a repeat performance thursday morning 11am-5pm. This once in a Red Moon set will contain hits from HAS & LOOCH funk sides A-D and the sought after 28 track Funky So & So collection. Come have a beer and listen to DR.T. turn that HAS shit up to 11!

If you missed the show at the Continental Club last night, watch this. Then get your shit together and come on down tonight for an encore performance by the Lonesome Spurs and Unknown Hinson.

Another one from the vaults. JoMo had a gig a few months ago and the band he opened for kicked him off in the middle of his set. JoMo said “fuck the bullshit” and crashed Chad’s house party and performed in the garage. America…Queso…Put your hands up in the air!
