SLUG Messes With Texas
SLUG was represented at SXSW by our own Angela H. Brown, Alexander Ortega, Cody Kirkland and Joshua Joye. This fearless troop took a few opportunities to get away from the chaos in Austin, Texas and record a bonus episode of Soundwaves, so that they could give insight into the madness and music they witnessed. Along with bacon-wrapped hot dogs, killer beer and visits from Utah musicians, including David Johnson of Max Pain and The Groovies, the SXSW team recount their most memorable, and least favorite, parts of the weeklong music festival.
