While perusing Last Nights Party, we found a bunch of shots that Bronques took at our Fool’s Gold After Dark bash in Austin in March. Score! More after the jump, and the whole set is viewable here (along with Heartsrevolution, a bunch of strangers, and Dave Navarro’s nipples).

Best Grillz in Austin. (Taken On Red River.)
RCRD LBL posted 63 new artists, rocking a total of 73 tracks of the choicest artists performing in Austin last week. (Peak at the full list here.) In addition, we had a blast in the 80 degree Austin sun. To close up, we've brought you some of more memorable photos, bands, trends, and recommended late night taco finds from SXSW 2009 this year that may prove valuable for next year.
Thanks to all those who made SXSW 2009 a wicked week of music (including our super production team who made it all possible)!

While we pick up the pieces from this past weekend in Austin, check out a cool little clip (spotted at ThisIs50.com ?!?!) featuring Trackademicks going in on 6th St with Zion I, U-N-I, Balance, Mistah FAB and Exile on the beatbox.

Though we are often skeptical of "dance bands," we've been enticed by the LA-based Casxio's infectious dance jams for a while now. Like a funkier West Coast version of the Scissor Sisters, their jams fall just shy of cheesy- and make up for it in fun factor, synth and the perfect amount of cowbell. Meanwhile, while traipsing the streets of Austin, TX, we've noticed their Lolita-lollipop posters all over the place. So it seems karma is telling us to see them perform this week. After all, after a day of sun, free drinks, and wicked jams, there's no better way to close off the night than by grooving Studio 54-style to disco-charged stunners like this track Seventeen.
Sounds like: Scissor Sisters, Depeche Mode, Prince

Make a mental note you SXSWsters, The Love Language, a whimsical folk rock 5-piece out of Raleigh, NC, is a pretty perfect band to relish along with a beer in the Austin sun this week. "Lalita" is a dose of lo-fi pop fused with 1960's doo-woped surf rock; an aphrodisiacal accompaniment to spring. While their sprightly, fuzzy pop is upbeat in nature, the band and its music came from a dark place; the name was inspired when lead singer/songwriter Stuart McLamb found, relished, threw beer bottles at, nearly committed suicide over, recovered from, lamented about, and then channeled musical inspiration from - love.
Sounds Like: The Morning Benders, The Botticellis
