Smoke & Feathers, American Sharks @ Creekside May 29th 2009

Wow. I'm not sure where these bands appeared from, but my prediction is that they will both become big draws locally anytime now. This was my first time to watch Smoke & Feathers entire set, and I have to say it was pretty epic. Light show, projections and all. The music drew everyone in, and kept us there in a trance. I highly recommend checking out their next Austin show.

Before them was a band that seems to have relocated from Houston to Austin. American Sharks had a raw energy, their friends were loving it and cheering them on. Punk, but in a good way with a sort of underground indie vibe. Definitely a Lone Star Tall Boy band. That seemed to be the crowd's drink of choice.

The Diamond Center from Lubbock opened the show with some psychedelic folk inspired rock. Overall, I must honestly say this was one of the best local shows I have seen so far this year. Wow. I was not expecting that. Check these bands out.
