The very first time we headed to Club 1808 was on the official Day 1 of SXSW (our Day 2). We’d done our exploration during the day and decided to unwind at the free Moshi Moshi Records party, where the line-up was pretty solid. The Champs were doing their funny dance when we got there. We caught Slow Club, Dark Meat, Casio Kids, Suckers and The Mae Shi in a span of few hours, and that was just our night. The Mae Shi seems like an awfully hard-working band, and they get super pumped on stage. They closed their set with the anthemic “Run to Your Grave”, for which they had their friends Slow Club and Kid Static on stage, dancing their hearts out. It was ridiculous fun! Here is the video.

England’s Slow Club are the boy-girl duo of Charles Watson and Rebecca Taylor, whose playful singing in their live sets were accompanied by a guitar and parts of a drum set. They played quite a few free shows while in Austin, and I caught at least two of them. The first time was at Club 1808, when the day was dwindling into a festive night, and the second time was the very next day at Red House Pizzeria, when the morning was still fresh and everyone was still waking up to the smell of coffee. I’ve included two video clips here: the first is from Red House Pizzeria, and the second is the end of their set at Club 1808, where they sang an unamplified song amongst the audience.
