Bandelier - Palm Door, SXSW, Austin TX - March 18, 2015

[Tulsa] Healthy boys from Tulsa doing dramatic atmospheric indie folk. There was a trumpet, fiddle, drum, 2 guitars. Bandelier seemed to be an all right band, but then it was time to return to the Mohawk and waltz in superiorly, having beat the line. Now there were three lines. I tried the shortest one first and the guy at the end rolled his eyes so hard his head nearly rolled off when he told me this was the line for ‘badges and wristbands.’ And the second shortest line ended up being the first part of the third line – which totaled one long ass line. No lines for me - so Mohawk and Container Bar were impenetrable throughout all of my 3 days at SXSW – I didn’t want to see the Mohawk bands all that much anyway but my dreams of seeing King Tuff at Container Bar were busted…. Two young moderately-hipster boys: “Rather than the glasses, I think it’s the uncheckered shirts that are key.”
