Jesus Christ Superfly - Cheapo's, SXSW, Austin TX - March 19, 2011


[from Austin, TX] three old guys, each a certain sort, and none the same sort as the other – one had a bandana around his head, one had a lot of tattoos and a squirrel tail hanging from his guitar like a big old hipster, and the other was like a former hardcore guy (based on bumper stickers) - there’s no denying they could play (they mentioned a 20 year history as a band) – one guy sang for the songs that were bluesy hard rock – the other guy sang for the songs that were vaguely 70s pop post-punk (Buzzcocks, Vibrators) – they were good and I really can’t put my finger on why I couldn’t get into them – maybe it’s ageism, and they had the longest outro ever
