Kenny Crucial gets his Mack on
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
WHO’S THE MACK? Kenny Crucial as Mack Messiah, performing at Drunken Unicorn Wed., May 21.
This was one of the best local shows I have seen in a very long time and rivaled many of the bands I saw at South by Southwest this year — although I may be accused of bias given that my daughter Monika sat in on bass and omnichord. I think you would get the same reaction from anybody that was present to see Kenny Crucial on stage instead of in the front row.
(See more photos by Perry Julien below. Read last year’s Kenny Crucial cover story by Mara Shalhoup.)

AT SXSW: Michael Stipe of R.E.M. (All photos by Perry Julien.)
Music conference vs. music festival.
Badges vs. wristbands vs. free shows.
Official showcases vs. un-official showcases.
Regardless of your opinions, there is something about 1,700 bands getting together for 24 hours of music.
I was able to see and photograph 49 bands over five days. Fucking rock excess.
Below are photos from: REM, Dark Meat, Ocha La Rocha, Elf Power, Dead Confederate, The Whigs, Von Bondies, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Raveonettes, Vampire Weekend, and X.
R.E.M.

Gogol Bordello at the Roxy, Oct. 19
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Sold out show … the stage lighting was bad so the photos are just OK, but I heard more Russian being spoken in the venue than at any concert I’ve ever been to in the country.
