The Hormones - Legendary White Swan, SXSW, Austin TX - March 14, 2014

[Austin, TX] We had hoofed over to the East Side to meet up with PatientPassion, CAPITALS, and LuckiestKidEver only to be met by lines, lines, lines. So we hoofed up north to see Cheetah Chrome (of Dead Boys fame) play with a local band. Cheetah didn’t show. Eddie Munoz (of The Plimsouls fame and Skunks ‘fame’ (early Austin punk)) played two songs, shouldered his guitar and left. Jesse Sublett (also of The Skunks) sang one song. And then we were left with Tim Napalm – and I just couldn’t get past his silly 70s Brit-punk haircut. Plus the sound wasn’t great. Or maybe my attitude wasn’t great. The highlight of the show, for me, was Eddie doing The Plimsouls’ “Million Miles Away” – and even that wasn’t done well. They were trashy punk – Johnny Thunders – which I usually love, but I was just done done done – too much walking. Nice club though.
