Toddrick's Favorite Performances at SXSW

I saw some crazy rad shit this year. Might have been the best SXSW so far. Here are 7 of my favorites from this year's artists written in shitty haiku. Go to these bands' shows. Buy their records. Don't sleep on 'em.

Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band
Bradley is the TRUTH.
We are all witnesses now.
The wind speaks his name.
Buy it.

Shabazz Palaces
Urge to raise black fist.
Soundtrack for revolution.
Sucks I was born white.
Wait for it.

Jaill
Songwriting is back.
Chord change kings of the midwest.
I love you, Sub Pop.
Buy it.

Night Horse
Sam is very drunk.
Last real rock and roll band.
Makes me very happy.
Buy it.

Wild Flag
Indie vet'rans play
Songs for our generation.
New hope for Portland?
Wait for it.

Naam
Epic destroyers
of drone metal armadas
leave no survivors.
Buy it.

Adrian Younge Sound Orchestra
Spaghetti Western
Blaxsploitation feels good.
Worth walking miles.
Buy it.
