Hiya kidz. I'm back (yes, I know you're thrilled). I'm done moving and stuff (although stuff is not done moving... or breaking for that matter). And what a way to come back... with this tasty video shot right here at the ol' SXSW festival of Dead Confederate performing the song "Yer Circus" from their debut album Wrecking Ball.

Now I confess I didn't know much about these gentlemen from Georgia, but your friend and mine Ms. Jenni Sperandeo tweets about them all the damn time. Now I have been schooled and am a new fond fan of the recent (recent meaning last night) winners of Flagpole's Best Rock Band Award. I mentioned to JS that lead singer Hardy Morris looks like the dude you hook up with one night in high school who breaks your heart the next day, but she assures me that he is a very nice, non-hipster type.

Part of what I love about SXSW is discovering all the excellent breakout bands, err, months after the fact... and then kicking myself for missing them. Happens every year. Happening today. Luckily they're coming to the 'ville (that's Louisville) soon so maybe I can catch them in July. Then they're off on tour with The Meat Puppets so you can go see them, too!

Thanks for joining us on this fine Friday. You can catch more hawtsome vids at our bitchin' YouTube channel.

Back to Wimbledon... quite sad with no Rafa, lp
