Pau Wau WoW! Nick Cornetti’s house, loaded with card-board boxes full of vinyl releases in various stages of completion, speaks to the hands-on, DIY production of his Pau Wau Records. The story of the local label’s genesis, born of SXSW rejection and grown into a local tastemaker, echoes that sentiment. “All the bands I knew didn’t get accepted to SXSW, so I had to figure out a way to get my friends some attention,” he shrugs. In March 2011, he issued the first volume of The Lost Tribes, a yearly compilation CD with an accompany-ing zine that features an eclectic mix of Austin music, as exemplified by Dana Falconberry’s delicate folk pop, Missions’ pitch-black synth compositions, and the American Sharks’ bellowing, metallic rock. “It did what it intended to do,” explains Cornetti, who drums for the American Sharks and Cartright. “It got in the hands of some-one who runs SXSW, and they put us on.”

His American Sharks show potential for a national breakthrough, and labelmate Bill Baird’s latest may be an early Best of 2013 contender. The crown jewel of Pau Wau’s growing catalog, Spring Break of the Soul, a double LP of damaged pop brilliance, finds the local conducting a unique symphony of perfectly untuned emotion and playing by his own rules. Witness the Pau Wau gang in action for their official SXSW showcase tonight at the Velveeta Room, with Baird, Cartright, American Sharks, Longshots, Sleep Good, and Lean Hounds, 8pm.

“Don’t take any pictures of me smiling,” Nick Cave warned us before welcoming his fans for autographs at Waterloo Records. Across the store, Thurston Moore and his new band Chelsea Light Moving signed records and took photos. Outside, hundreds of fans gathered to watch Tegan & Sara perform in the parking lot. The record store, still our music town hall.

not Fade aWay María Elena Holly, widow of rock & roll forefather Buddy Holly, keeps her husband alive through the Buddy Holly Foundation, which promotes musical education regardless of income, ethnicity, or learning level. On Tuesday, she joined foundation heads for a press conference announcing new college scholarships and the “Learning the Game” prize, which grants $10,000 cash, plus a custom guitar and other sweet perks, to one unsigned act at SXSW whose qualities best reflect Buddy’s. Beginning next year, a panel of Holly aficionados will select finalists from the Festival roster to compete in a live music showcase for the prize. “Buddy Holly was a modern artist,” explained foundation member Stephen Easley. “He wrote his own songs and composed and produced his music at a time when other singers didn’t do that.”

HalF notes› Randy “Biscuit” Turner, singer of local

punk legends the Big Boys, gets a well-deserved exhibition this week at the South Austin Popular Culture Center (1516-B S. Lamar). SouthPop collected the flamboy-ant frontman’s fliers, poetry, lyrics, and junk art for public viewing, Thu.-Sun., 1-6pm, and by appointment or chance. Earlier this month, his funky skate band’s two best vinyls, Where’s My Towel/Industry Standard and Fun Fun Fun, were re-released by Light in the Attic and local 540 Records.

› All-star personnel expected at tonight’s Sound City Players show at Stubb’s: Dave Grohl, Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Lee Ving, Rage Against the Machine’s Brad Wilk, Rick Springfield, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Chris Goss (Masters of Reality), Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, and Alain Johannes. The lineup also features Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Rami Jaffee, and Jessy Greene, plus Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. Past performances have featured video clips from Grohl’s acclaimed docu-mentary between sets. The Meat Puppets, who collaborated with Grohl for the classic Nirvana Unplugged performance, open.

rumor Has it Yesterday morning, I called Governor Rick Perry’s office for comment on a widespread rumor that Daft Punk would play a surprise show at the Capitol that night. Perry was unavailable, so they referred me to the State Preservation Board, whose events coordina-tor, Robert Davis, answered the phone with, “I think I know what you’re calling about.” According to Davis, no superstar French DJs have scheduled a show on the grounds. It could still happen somewhere else, though, so keep your eyes peeled for giant pyramids or whatever it is they perform in these days. Meanwhile, South by Southwest finally announced yesterday how you can get tickets to Prince’s show at La Zona Rosa. Consistent with other major performances

this year, Platinum and Music badge own-ers can enter a lottery at www.sxsw.com to win entry. Additional tickets may become available later in the week for wristband-ers, who will be notified by email. “Lil Wayne ain’t happening,” Festival management tells us in response to whis-pers that Weezy would perform at the VEVO TV Control Room. How can he resist the ego stroke of a surprise SXSW show? Billy Corgan can’t. His alt-era titans the Smashing Pumpkins perform at the Red Bull Soundstage with local Sabbath-biters the Sword and fellow Texans Girl in a Coma on Saturday. While the location isn’t yet announced, Red Bull has constructed a large stage on the northwest corner of Sixth and I-35.

› You knew Willie Nelson was cool, but did you know he owns a ghost town? Those desiring relief from the hustle of Downtown Austin can head out to Willie’s ranch in nearby “Luck, Texas” for the Heartbreaker Banquet, featuring performances by Jim James, Michael Kiwanuka, Shovels & Rope, Diamond Rugs, and Shakey Graves, all playing on either an old-timey medicine show stage or inside a tiny cha-pel on the grounds. Tickets are free, but you need to search Heartbreaker Banquet on social media sites for details and free bus pickup. Today, noon-11pm.

› Local instrumentalists Explosions in the Sky, who blew up after scoring the Friday Night Lights movie, collaborated with Ola Podrida singer David Wingo for the soundtrack of Prince Avalanche, David Gordon Green’s new comedy with Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. The film gets a second SXSW showing tonight at the Topfer Theatre at Zach, 9pm.

› Last year’s Austin Music Awards “Best Keyboards” winner A.J. Vincent isn’t let-ting being dumped from his longtime band the Bright Light Social Hour slow his roll. “As a songwriter, I was riding the Bright Light train, but all the attention I’ve been putting into the band will now go elsewhere,” reports Vincent, whose vocals and keys were weighty in BLSH’s mix. For now, he joins up with his favorite band, Black Taxi, for a handful of SX shows: Sat., 12:30pm, Parish; Sat., 1am, 512; Sun., 8:40pm, Stubb’s.

› Homecoming: Matt Drenik, who once fronted the popular Austin band LIONS, returns home with new outfit Battleme, a saccharine blend of psych, pop, and elec-tronics produced by Thomas Turner of Ghostland Observatory. Battleme show-cases tonight in the Empire Control Room at 10pm. On playing his first Austin show in two years, Drenik contemplates, “A lot of people are curious to see what the hell I’m doing.” LIONS reunite at the 04 Lounge, Fri., 6pm.

LIVE SHOTS2012/2013 austin music awardsAustin Music HAll, WednesdAy, MArcH 13

“Austin’s changed, it’s true, but show me what hasn’t,” challenges Alejandro Escovedo on “Bottom of the World” from last year’s Big Station. As he took the stage with Wild Seeds and fellow True Believers Jon Dee Graham and Javier Escovedo to open the 2012/2013 Austin Music Awards, the cranes and rising skyline of that change tow-ered in reminder outside the Austin Music Hall. Yet the geometry of change moves in more than just straight lines; it also shapes in ever-widening circles, an expanding gyre whose core never changes. In Austin, that core remains the people, and music the pulse that ripples perpetually outward from that center. Austin thrives in the young kid slinging a dream of the blues onstage at Antone’s, wherever the venue calls home. That heart pulses from a group of proto-punk kids rough-housing riffs all night long at the Hole in the Wall, rogue music dreams transforming the city with every chord. It bleeds with the songwriter, Unknown, except to those who know, until everyone knows Finally, it’s the misfits who became the Holy Spirit of music spreading out over the city, like Margaret Moser, the brains and tireless soul behind the AMAs since their inception. She welcomed the crowd gorgeously beaming, flowers tucked in her hair, defiant and grateful as she discussed her recent cancer diagnosis and outpouring of support. It’s also Brent Grulke, whose memory and influ-ence pervades all of SXSW and Austin, and whose unwav-ering devotion and support for the Bands on the Block blossomed from a few Wild Seeds and True Believers into the world’s most important music festival and conference. So although the 2012/2013 Austin Music Awards began with wagons circled – in care for Moser, in memory of Grulke, and in recognition of a city changing as fast as ever – Austin endures and celebrates better than it worries. When Michael Hall led Wild Seeds to begin the night’s music with a set of songs beloved by Grulke, the grinning thrill of Richard Thompson’s “Wall of Death” struck the perfect note of be-damned reckless-ness. Susan Cowsill followed by fronting a cover of Gram Parsons’ “Hickory Wind,” and Robyn Hitchcock joined with the Minus 5’s Scott McCaughey to sing his “(A Man’s Gotta Know His Limitations) Briggs.”

Spoon’s Britt Daniel sparked “Every Star Mary” from his Nineties local contemporaries, the Wannabes, while Adrian Quesada and the Grupo Fantasma horns burned down Los Lobos’ “Wake Up, Delores.” As closing send-up, Escovedo played punk evangelist in front of the reunited True Believers with AC/DC’s “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll).” Brownout stepped next to the stage after claiming the Latin Rock AMA, blowing a funk hole through the Austin Music Hall, includ-ing a cover of Neil Young’s “Down by the River,” while Ben Kweller charmed with the roots pop of “Penny on the Train Track” and the romping “Full Circle.” Austin’s music circles expand as much generation-ally as they do stylistically, and the applause for Warren Hood (Best String Player) and Emily Gimble (Best Keyboards) proved the respect for familial talent. As did the reception for the Trishas, the stunning female quartet of Jamie Wilson, Liz Foster, Kelley Mickwee, and Savannah Welch, laying harmonies across “Mother of Invention” and accompanied in perfect counter by special guest Raul Malo on “A Far Cry From You.” Parliament-Funkadelic’s Bernie Worrell showed up to present the Peterson Brothers, Austin’s latest prodigious blues talent, with Best U-18 Band, while AMA emcee Andy Langer coaxed an impressive Best Metal introduc-tion for Dead Earth Politics from new Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee Jason McMaster of Watchtower. Fellow Hall of Fame inductees Bill Carter and Ruth Ellsworth may have summed up the night best. “This is still the greatest city for music in the world, always has been and always will be,” declared Carter. “You’re in the right place.” As if to emphasize the point, Gary Clark Jr. flew back home directly from Finland just to accept his sweep of the 2012/2013 AMAs and join Carter in closing out the night. As the songwriter and rising guitar hero whipped into “Willie the Wimp,” one of Carter’s hits for Stevie Ray Vaughan, those circles of change, for a moment, con-nected again. “This is crazy,” acknowledged Clark with his stack of plaques. “I love you, and I love this city.” – Doug Freeman

Show No MercyMohawk, wednesday, March 13

Royal Thunder just broke out. The Atlanta power trio’s gothic proto-metal surges with stadium appeal – huge hooks, thick grooves, and a rhythm section locked in perpetual motion for the majority of last year’s excellent CVI (Relapse). Bassist Mlny Parsonz proved a marquee R&B belter in disguise, a bruising hex dispenser with a voice fit for commanding thunderstorms. Think a black-hearted Grace Slick fronting Blue Cheer. The rest of Pitchfork’s heavy metal parking lot more than lived up to its billing: Show No Mercy. Pallbearer earned the site’s coveted Best New Music tag with 2012 debut Sorrow and Extinction. Live, the Arkansas quartet’s celestial doom metal moved in tidal suites – deliberate and progressive, but never dull. Guitarist Brett Campbell’s vocals clashed at times with his cathedral riffs, but it hardly dimmed the band’s heavy, instrumental sway. Reputation preceded Trash Talk, and the Odd Future affiliates didn’t disappoint, leading a circle pit that engulfed the entire lower section. The Sacramento hardcore outfit erupted in short bursts, with the violent disgust of Negative Approach and char-ismatic flailing of Keith Morris. In the Ohio outfit’s only SXSW show, Skeletonwitch closed with its signature, grunted epics, somehow making grindcore majestic. It sounded like NWOBHM at a land speed record. – Austin Powell

GuitartowN/coNquerooMolotov/dogwood, wednesday, March 13

Publicist Cary Baker’s free shindig annually enlivens the day parties with a mix of vets and up-and-comers. Roaring through classics and tunes from the upcoming American Ride, Willie Nile served a potent reminder of the chills induced by a true believer. Temporarily eschew-ing the minichamber orchestra that powers Lovesick Blues, Chris Stamey plugged in for an electric take on its gorgeous tuneage. Playing its first out-of-town show in nearly two decades, power pop pioneers Shoes graced a packed house with faves and tunes from its great new LP, Ignition. In contrast to Shoes’ electric buzz, the Howlin’ Brothers conjured acoustic magic with rollicking garage-grass that chal-lenged the slickness of contemporary Americana. Though allegedly promoting the long-gestating An Appointment with Mr. Yeats, Waterboys Mike Scott & Steve Wickham performed a “strange selection of songs” that included Celtic folk numbers, improvised fiddle tunes, and ’boys classics. Austin soul mover

Nakia showed off both the gritty vocal chops that got him on The Voice and the songs that make his music more than just retro ear candy. Emphasizing Bill Davis’ firebreathing guitar, New Orleans’ Dash Rip Rock dispensed with niceties for a nuclear assault on its patented punked-up hellbilly. Veteran rocker/actor Michael Des Barres provided an appropriate climax with a set of cocky, crunchy rock & roll that celebrated decadence past and the future with a wink and a power chord. – Michael Toland coNSequeNceS of SouNd

Parish, wednesday, March 13

The Parish was impressively packed all day for Consequence of Sound’s second annual CoSigns party, not bad for a blog that thrives on its own modesty. It takes resonant prestige to welcome in a luminary like Thurston Moore. The indie-rock lifer’s new band Chelsea Light Movement slops and stirs in the right places, with weary, blackened guitar curls and delirious bass, all wrapped in a welcoming, deliberate crunch. The Thermals careened through sprightly, white-hot, and deeply market-able pop-punk. The Portland, Ore., trio ought not to be taken for granted; few bands can claim such a depend-able career, even fewer stage dive on the first show of the week. Vancouver’s tremulous and powerful White Lung left burnt wreckage and uncomfortable faces in its wake, the free-show drinkers stunned by frontwoman Mish Way’s enveloping siren. Hardcore should be served brutal and unflinching, and White Lung was eager to please. After a broken drum, Way casually retorted, “That’s how you play drums. You don’t just tap it like a little baby.” Gulp. TEEN’s caramelized vibes and Wampire’s yippy pop quickly evaporated in the day-show doldrums, just not weighty enough. Go big or go home. – Luke Winkie

Natalie MaiNeSACL Live At the Moody theAter, WednesdAy, MArCh 13

Dixie Chicks frontwoman Natalie Maines breaks her recording silence with the May 7 release Mother, jump-starting her solo career as a full-blown Southwest rocker. She previewed the album with her hourlong set at the austere Moody Theater, along with friend and project collaborator Ben Harper on lap steel and back-ing vocals. The album takes its title from a flinty cover of the Pink Floyd classic. Maines’ rendition Wednesday night shook with desert-inspired sparsity, her powerful Western-tinted voice cutting through the original’s murk clear as a bell. The sixpiece band held its water until the halfway mark, when the flood of shiny steel whine and well-placed licks broke forth. Harper’s co-written cuts dipped equally into punchy guitar rock and hazy cowboy ballads, inking a clear signature onto the new material through tracks “Trained” and “Vein in Vain.” The pièce de résistance Maines saved for the end, when a cello and lap steel added into the mix, played by legend and father Lloyd Maines, whom Harper greeted with a hearty and obviously awestruck handshake. “Take It on Faith” wound through gorgeous soundscapes, cul-minating with a pseudo-steel battle: Harper v. Maines. The decorated musician and producer took his place by his daughter trading fiery, explosive steel shreds with Harper for upward of three minutes. – Abby Johnston

Despite a half-full house, Rough Francis opened the indoor portion of Enabler PR’s showcase with an intensity fit for Detroit’s Grande Ballroom. The Vermont-based sextet – featuring three sons of bassist/vocalist Bobby Hackney from Motor City protopunk sibling trio Death – draw deeply upon their heritage while giving it their own unique spin. Vocalist Bobby Hackney Jr. cut a commanding presence as he alternated between the fist-skyward militancy of Ian MacKaye and the floor-writhing acrobatics of Iggy Pop. The stage barely contained the four guitars on board; it’s a wonder no one took it on the chin from an errantly swung neck during loin-stirrers like “Don’t Look Back.” While Rough Francis’ sheer sonic onslaught got your attention, drum-mer Urian Hackney kept it with a solid backbeat and acrobatic, Keith Moon-inspired fills that landed on spot but kept you guessing the whole way down. The band’s rendition of Death’s “Freakin’ Out” came off like an exploding teapot. From there, they summoned a fuzzed-out garage-blues groove that held and released its way to an epic closing climax. Whatever their draw with Nick Cave playing down the street, they laid it all out and earned a few more jostling, sweaty shoulders for next time. – Greg Beets

KendRicK LamaR1100 WareHouse, Wednesday, MarcH 13

Chants of “fuck that shit” echoed down Fifth Street as a SXSW staffer parlayed news that West Coast rap’s grand prince Kendrick Lamar already held an at-capacity crowd inside 1100 Warehouse, 45 minutes before show. 750 fit inside, 300 stood out, and that smaller sampling went altogether bonkers when the diminutive Los Angeleno, architect of October’s wildly beloved good kid, m.A.A.d city, cruised from the Fader Fort shadows into the Spotify spotlight. “He touched my arm!” shrieked one hopeful girl lucky enough to brush elbows with Lamar’s bodyguard. “That was good enough.” Inside, Lamar emerged onto Spotify’s runway stage looking turned up in gray T-shirt and close, high fade. Early on, he paid little attention to the buzz surrounding his sophomore album, eschew-ing gkmc shots for smooth soul and a hit list that shook straight from 2011’s Section.80 debut. He flipped into the modern age midway through, making mention of October’s buzzed-about effort before sliding from “Money Trees” into the treacherous “Backseat Freestyle” and smoothed out “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” His Black Hippy crew came out in cameos to close, but by then the show had been set: Right now, Kendrick Lamar’s working with some “HiiiPoWer.” – Chase Hoffberger

Iggy & the StoogeSMohawk, wednesday, March 13

You can all go home now. The conference is over. The world’s greatest rock & roll band has played. No one else matters. Iggy Pop wanted to debut material from the 40-years-overdue follow-up to Raw Power at SXSW. He got his wish, even forcing bassist Mike Watt to come home from his own European tour. And with hardly a fuss, they’re off: “Raw Power,” bam, James Williamson riffing like a hyper-thyroid Dave Davies, with Watt and drummer Toby Dammit deputized for brotherly rhythm section Scott and the late Ron Asheton. Funhouse saxman Steve Mackay, now a full Stooge, honks and drones à la Coltrane beside Williamson, Iggy charging hard at the mic, a Tasmanian devil uncaged and unleashed. The energy doesn’t relent through the cooldown of “Gimme Danger.” Three songs in, the first new track, “Burn.” Over the course of an hour, no one’s phoning this in. Iggy’s pacing himself, not quite the manic hellion of old, but he’s only slowed down in comparison to his own past. He concentrates on delivering that death-house bari-tone, then giving the popping eyes and flashing feet, still occasionally falling into the audience (to be dragged back by overzealous roadies). He walks offstage a second, and a pedal steel player sets up next to Watt, looking straight out of Ernest Tubb’s Texas Troubadours, with Williamson mov-

ing to lap steel. Iggy walks back, and the Stooges deliver a somber new tribute to Ron Asheton, complete with an atmo-spheric rewrite of “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and funeral-march drums. Then a trifecta: “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “Search and

Destroy,” and an encore segueing “Fun House” into a “No Fun” that resembled the Sex Pistols’ powerslam remake. It’s over, kids. Go home. The Stooges have spoken. – Tim Stegall

the aLLah-LaSnorth door, wednesday, March 13

The haters might say that California slow-ly stagnates. How many beaming, flowery, Golden State garage-pop bands can truly flourish? The Fresh & Onlys, Sonny & the Sunsets, White Fence – the songs are good, but can we remain nonjudgmental in the face of such redundancy? I thought about all of that, and then L.A.’s Allah-Las arrived on the North Door’s stage and started to play. There’s nothing too ’em, four square, softly grizzled white guys that look fished right out of the Eighties. They make warm, sneakily intricate garage rock, founded on the principle that a catchy chorus is never too cool. Even the instrumental “Sacred Sands” bobbed and weaved. Last year’s self-titled effort earned its lumps for being perennially late to the party. What’s a record to do in a scene with so many better-estab-lished darlings? Under these lights, even in the most overlooked of rock clubs, the enchantment came quick and easy. Sure, they’re just casual mid-tempo pop songs, but plenty of bands have gotten famous off of casual mid-tempo pop songs. The Allah-Las looked like the least stressed-out band in Austin. The confidence pierced through all of the yearly SXSW excuses. It was good to see a real-life show in the midst of all the half-baked here-and-theres. – Luke Winkie

PeoPle of letterS18th Floor hilton Garden inn, tuesday, March 12

Australian literary salon People of Letters served as the intersection of literature and music at SXSW, with writers sharing letters based on the theme, “To the Thing I Wish I’d Written.” Brooklyn-based Jenny Owen

Youngs addressed Nirvana’s Nevermind, effectively a künstlerroman of a young musi-cian. “It was you who wrote me, at least the rough draft of my first act,” she claimed before launching into a breathy, quivery ren-

dition of “On a Plain.” Author Neil Gaiman wrote to the genre of letters to the editor of softcore porn magazines in a tender and heartbreaking reminiscence of how they shaped his view of sex at age 15. Director and novelist John Sayles shared a scorching address to the national anthem, pointing out that the line “land of the free” was not even true on paper until after the Civil War, and is still not entirely true today. Finally, master asker Amanda Palmer shared a letter to her stepbrother she claimed to have written while drunk, but was so self-indulgent it was clearly not the spontaneous burst of heart-wrenching genius the audience was meant to believe. Palmer’s performance was the disingenuous cherry on top of an otherwise authentic and deeply moving evening. – Melanie Haupt

SXSW IntervIeW: JIm JameSAustin Convention Center, WednesdAy, MArCh 13

Few artists seem as omnipres-ent this week as Jim James. Taking a breather from showcas-ing his new solo album, Regions of Light and Sound of God, to sit down with MTV’s Bill Flanagan only reinforced the My Morning Jacket frontman as music’s ubiquitous Walt Whitman. Like his recordings, James’ musings are far-reaching, open-minded, searchingly uncer-tain, but deeply and honestly expressed, with an amalgam of self-contradictions. Beginning by discussing his antagonistic rela-tionship to technology, James posited, “I think we’re going to look back on the Internet ... as a big mistake ... a horrible drug we’re all addicted to.” Yet James doesn’t strike a Luddite pose as much as that of willful ruralist, insisting later in relation to recording, “If you don’t know technology, you’re cutting yourself out of a lot of power.” Likewise, he offered a clear sense of the industry while cit-ing an obvious oxymoron: “The two words music and business don’t go very well together.” He also cut his spiritual sincerity with a persistently defiant levity. “I just want to reach a state of sustained peace,” he intoned with purpose, and that elu-sive point directs the openness of James’ universal, contradicting embrace. Or as Whitman acknowledged: “I am large, I contain multitudes.” – Doug Freeman

Assuming the audience already knew the salient details, author Larry “Ratso” Sloman took Australian icon Nick Cave through a haphazardly swirled chronology of his life and work that was informative and occasionally revelatory. Cave described the death of his father dur-ing his troubled adolescence as “one of those moments when the bottom of the bag drops open and everything falls out.” For early influences, he mentioned David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and, especially, The Johnny Cash Show: “There was something kind of evil about him, something dangerous, and I responded to that.” On his working methods, Cave noted, “I don’t know a good lyric from a bad one until I start singing it. The editing process is the most important part of the process for me.” Asked about his penchant for storytelling, he com-mented, “The imaginative world ... is more reliable; I have more control over it. Certainly there’s a world I’ve been building over the years that is absurd and transfor-mative.” He admitted to writing frequently about his wife. “I feel like I know her better in the songs that I write about her than I do in real life. It makes me feel very close to her.” Sloman wrapped with an old quote about the redemptive power of rock & roll: “I can’t get from Shakespeare what I get from the Ramones.” “I wrote that?” Cave asked. “Cool.” – Michael Toland

SXSW IntervIeW: DepeChe moDeAustin Convention Center, WednesdAy, MArCh 13

To give an idea of British electro giant Depeche Mode’s influence, panel mod-erator and KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley recently gave an interview about his upcoming interrogation with the band. The Essex trio landed at SXSW for the first time with this panel appearance and a show Friday at Brazos Hall. With the release of 13th album Delta Machine looming, the group’s SXSW appearance seemed obvious. “I think this time we are doing promotion the correct way,” laughed the trio’s compositional center, Martin Gore. The band discussed pro-duction for Delta Machine, indicating a return to the “Personal Jesus” aesthetic of mixing blues and electronic, something that keymaster Andy Fletcher confi-dently proclaimed the album carries well. Audience questions mostly dug for the 30-year secret that’s kept Depeche Mode relevant. While none of the band mem-bers could provide a concrete, catch-all answer, there was an undeniable nos-talgia for a golden age. “We’re trying to bring back the 8-track,” joked frontman Dave Gahan. “Every four years we make an album, everything has changed,” Fletcher noted pointedly. – Abby Johnston

Mike Scott & Steve WickhaM, Billy BraggSt. DaviD’S HiStoric Sanctuary, WeDneSDay, MarcH 13

A 20-minute delay at the outset seemed inconsequential when compared to the wait local Waterboys fans had to endure for an appearance by Mike Scott. The Scotsman’s hourlong performance began with him cheerfully reading episodes from his recent memoir, Adventures of a Waterboy: sharing a story of his youth in a battle of the bands; a time in a Chicago church visited by the Holy Spirit; and his first meeting with Steve Wickham. The fiddler then appeared for a brief, yet thrill-filled set of tunes that led with “Savage Earth Heart” and ended with an extended, lustful, and dynamic reading of “The Pan Within.” Billy Bragg followed with a typically energized set, mixing his recently discovered love for crooning and he-just-can’t-help-it liberal politics. As a smooth balladeer, the Englishman comes across less convincing than Nick Lowe on tunes from his new Tooth & Nail, but his politics remain convincing with tunes from Woody Guthrie (“I Ain’t Got No Home”) and Bob Dylan (“The Times They Are a-Changin’”), along with a reworking of his own “Waiting for the Great Leap Forward,” with new mentions of the Occupy movement and Pussy Riot. – Jim Caligiuri

MackleMore & ryan leWiSBelMont, tueSDay, MarcH 12

“I remember being here a couple years ago standing in a bigass line with no wristband trying to get in,” Seattle rapper Macklemore recalled before his at-capacity headlining set for the Warner Sound showcase Tuesday. A lot has changed in a couple years. After a fairly anonymous SXSW debut in 2011, Macklemore and his DJ Ryan Lewis find themselves at the top of the Billboard charts and surrounded by the most incessant buzz of this year’s Festival. Rocking a fresh close-crop from Birds Barbershop, the “cold ass honky” waxed biographical on “Ten Thousand Hours” before delivering the discount goods on “Thrift Shop.” Hands dotted the sky for queer-equality anthem “Same Love,” before Talib Kweli crashed the stage to drop a verse from “The Actual.” “SXSW reminds you of the hun-ger it takes to be an artist,” Macklemore declared. “We do all these sold-out shows, but at SXSW, we’re not shit all over again, and I love that.” Before Macklemore pulled off The Heist, Brooklyn top chef Action Bronson rapped an entire track with a fan on his back and wandered from the stage to the top of the VIP balcony during a set of choice culinary-inspired cuts. – Thomas Fawcett

nick cave & the Bad SeedSStuBB’S, WeDneSDay, MarcH 13

Nick Cave strode onstage clad in black, promised darkness by the end of the first song, and delivered a searing and emphatic nine-song set to a jam-packed amphitheatre. His voice in fine timbre and his supporting players fully engaged, the 55-year-old punk launched things with the surreal “Higgs Boson Blues” off new album Push the Sky Away. Cave continued to trust the audience to keep their anten-nae tuned for the new with “Jubilee Street,” a vicious nightmare rag-time that finds a faceless narrator visiting whores and discovering his name on every page of some hooker’s little black book. “They ought to practice what they preach on Jubilee Street,” the singer goaded, thrusting his hips and keeping in nearly constant motion throughout his 85 minutes onstage. With six players representing a new configu-ration of the Bad Seeds – including 57-year-old Aussie punk pioneer Ed Kuepper of the Saints, and longtime collaborators guitarist Barry Adamson and fiddle player Warren Ellis – Cave also dug deep into his catalog. He played a surging “Red Right Hand,” then “The Mercy Seat,” popularized by that other man in black, Johnny Cash, on his American Recordings (“An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, and anyway I told the truth, and I’m not afraid to die.”) Cave closed with the title song from Push the Sky Away, rolling up the roadshow too soon for the faithful. Still able to summon cosmic weirdness and great empathy, when Cave cried out on that final number, “Some people say it’s only rock & roll, oh but it gets you down in your soul,” no one could have dared argue. – Dan Oko

TEXAS FILM It was the Texas Film Hall of Fame that made me try and shake off the overwhelming fatigue I was feeling after more than two weeks of constant design work and little sleep. But it was TFHOF, and I’d never missed a single one in 12 years … this was the first one I even considered missing, only because of the state of my health. But pull it together I did, and I attended with my gor-geous sidekicks and muses, Jacki Oh and Grant Hicks, all glammed out in my new Made in Heaven collection. We took so long getting done up that we missed the entire red carpet entrance. It’s called shooting yourself in the foot. We arrived anyway, made the rounds, and watched the stars and socialites and localebrities. Highlights were a visibly emotional Annette O’Toole, an extremely modest Henry Thomas, a very proud Rick Linklater, an exuberant Quentin Tarantino, an enchanting Julie Hagerty, and a graciously beautiful Robin Wright. Austin Film Society’s Executive Director Rebecca Campbell looked faaabulous and spoke elo-quently about Texas film and the night’s nom-inees, and, while it may not have been the most high-voltage Hall of Fame, it was indeed an enormous success.

BOLDFACED SIGHTINGS Olivia Wilde (who tweeted upon arrival, “If only there was a city built on fun and food trucks. Oh HELLO Austin, TX! Let’s watch some mothaf**kin movies!”), Rachel Maddow, Willie Nelson, Michelle Valles, Harry Connick Jr., Renée Zellweger, Adam Brody, Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, Fergie, Josh Duhamel, Emile Hirsch, Paul Rudd, Simon Baker, Rose Byrne, Ron Livingston, the Roots, Anna Kendrick, Bruce Campbell, Band of Horses, Johnny Depp, Andy Cohen, Benjamin McKenzie, and Nina Garcia.

RECOS Parquet Courts, the Brooklyn punk rockers; Earl Sweatshirt, rapper, songwriter, producer, and member of the Los Angeles based hip-hop collective Odd Future; Omar Souleyman, an Arab musician who performs traditional Middle Eastern songs in Kurdish and Arabic; Academik 2013 Showcase at Lanai Austin; LL Cool J at the Doritos party; Boots Riley; Charles Bradley; Divine Fits; Flaming Lips; Rhye; RxSM Self-Medicated Film Expo; and the documentary We Cause Scenes.

THE FASHION Amid the swarms of ubiquitous raggedy jeans and limp hoodies, there is some real style to be seen. No, I don’t care about what’s hot and trendy. I care about those who truly express themselves through their clothes by pulling together disparate pieces and mak-ing them work as a whole to represent their identities. The power of clothing is phenome-nal. It can say everything about you without you having to open your mouth. Among the treats seen include an embroidered suede poncho trimmed with Mongolian lamb, worn over velvet jeans tucked into over-the-knee boots. Gorgeous. Another was a jumpsuit which was an unabashed copy of Versace (but not Versace) in red, black, and metallic gold, shim-mering in the starlit night. A few rock-star looks wandered about, but they didn’t seem to be on rock stars (and no, I’m not talking about my own clothes). I saw frock coats, spats, jodh-purs, and top hats on one group of out-of-town-ers. I had to compliment them on their courage and flair ... turned out they had just filmed some kind of commercial. Saw a Prince look-alike ... or maybe it was Prince. And several tributes to Johnny Depp’s style wandered around, perhaps in anticipation of seeing him.

It doesn’t take being in over 200 movies to win a Texas Film Hall of Fame award, but Stephen Tobolowsky did both. Julie Hagerty presented the award.

Where Music Meets Fashion

txaustin ROCKS

It’s hot in Austin, and after landing at our hotel, Wickham and I go for a stroll in our shirt sleeves. Denny’s and Starbucks are across the street. No contest. After our coffee and croissants, we stick our noses into Denny’s anyway and smell the cooking fat. It’s the tang of the Fifties, I imagine, and it’s reassuring, in a kinda comforting-cum-bonkers way, that it still exists somewhere. Later, we hook up with my Twitter pal, Austin’s own Kathy Valentine, for an Italian meal, and go from there to the Continental Club, where Kathy’s playing a three-song set with her band the Blue Bonnets. Before they do, a Nashville trio called the Howlin’ Brothers takes the stage. Banjo, ’monica, and upright bass. They’re good. Damn good. The banjo player has a sweet voice and looks like Ezra, the Waterboys’ American drummer. I’m digging the Club with its old-school decor and funky shack atmosphere; a real love grotto for live music and good times. In the deliciously scuzzy poolroom that doubles as a dressing space, Kathy introduces us to her Blue Bonnets bandmates, and then they hit the stage in an explosion of retooled Chuck Berry-meets-punk riffs. Kathy and fellow guitarist Eve trade machine-gun-burst solos. Singer Dominique, a one-woman charisma army with a smile calibrated to waste every male heart in the room, drills to the center of the Earth with her bass, while skinbasher Christie gives the drums the thorough hiding they deserve. As I listen and look around me, I’m struck by how incredibly American the scene is: club, band, sound, songs, the feeling in the crowd. The real America, or at least some sweet, souped-up, fun-hungry version of it, is right here – right now.

It’s become a global phenomenon thanks to standard-bearers that include Tame Impala, Animal Collective, Wooden Shjips, and Austin’s own Black Angels. Add to that list London quintet TOY.

MOJO RecOMMends‘Mojo’ editor-in-CHief PHil alexander SPotligHtS tHe beSt new britiSH talent

In 1963, the dawning of a new mind-expanding era was signaled by the founding of The Psychedelic Review, a U.S. publication under the stewardship of Harvard academic Ralph Metzner, with Timothy Leary as contributing editor, questioning “the age-old issue of freedom versus control” in its very first editorial. Eight years later, the publication ceased, the battle for hearts and altered minds seemingly having been lost. Now, five decades later, the seeds sown back in ’63 continue to germinate, not least of all in a new generation of musicians whose musical intent remains decidedly psychedelic. Indeed, look around and listen carefully enough, and you’ll find we appear to have entered a new age of psychedelic music. Moreover, it’s become a global phenomenon thanks to standard-bearers that include Tame Impala, Animal Collective, Wooden Shjips, and Austin’s own Black Angels. Add to that list London quintet TOY. Formed just over two years ago, the fivepiece of Tom Dougall (vocals/guitars), Dominic O’Dair (guitars), Maxim Barron (bass/vocals), Charlie Salvidge (drums/vocals), and Alejandra Diez (keyboards) initially rose

to prominence when they were championed by their friends and fellow psych-punk scenesters, the Horrors. Since then, TOY has plowed its own furrow, transform-ing into an increasingly impressive live act. They’ve also released a slew of fine singles and a self-titled debut LP on the Heavenly label, which received a glow-ing four-star review in MOJO last September before making the magazine’s year-end Top 50 list. The album’s charm reveals itself on first listen, suggesting key influences that range from the shim-mering shoegaze pop of Jesus & Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine to the motorik power of Neu! and on to the post-punk isolationism of Wire. Obviously, several spins reap greater rewards, allowing the hid-den hooks located on the likes of “Make It Mine” and “Motoring” to emerge, and the nine-minute-plus finale of “Kopter” to take full effect. TOY’s 2013 SXSW sojourn will see them play-ing two shows today, the first at the Cedar Street Courtyard, 9pm. To see them at their most effective and mind-altering, however, their late show at the Hotel Vegas Patio comes truly recommended.

Robyn Hitchcock9pm, Continental Club Robyn Hitchcock’s latest album, Love From London (Yep Roc), arrives as the songwriter turns 60, an event marked last month with a career retrospective concert in his London hometown that delved back to his earliest work with the influential Seventies psych-pop band Soft Boys. Hitchcock hasn’t let the occasion steep in undue nostalgia, however. “Some of the songs sound silly now, just phases that I went through, kind of manic songs with a touch too much Syd Barrett,” admits Hitchcock with a laugh. “And they maybe didn’t do me that many favors, may have given people the impression that I was more of a goof-ball than I am. I don’t aim to be taken too seriously, but some of them may sound a bit silly now, or the mania may seem a bit forced, as if I was particularly wearing my personali-ty disorders on my sleeve.” Hitchcock’s oeuvre remains one of the most fascinating in music, a universe that opens unto itself in moments both playful and poignant. Love From London proves a beautiful ode amid tenuous times via songs like “Death and Love” and “End of Time.” “It’s not a record that’s sending out blasts of doom. The emphasis is defi-nitely on celebrating,” insists Hitchcock. “There are the facts as they are, but I do my best to try to avoid facts; I’m an artist. But there are things that even I can’t tune out, and maybe we’re all just making moonshine on the Titanic. “I hope it’s a warm record. I want people to feel comforted by it in the same way that the Beatles’ records always had a terrific humanity to them, or records by the Band. Things you could kind of warm your hands over.” – Doug Freeman

Elias Haslanger12:30am, Elephant Room It’s been a good year for native Austinite and tenor saxophonist Elias Haslanger. His self-released album, Church on Monday, has taken his hometown by storm, earning rave reviews across the board locally and garnering national airplay. Best of all, it’s given rise to the LP’s smokin’ quintet, now a steadily working band. With Dr. James Polk on B-3 organ and Jake Langley on guitar, their Monday night residency at the Continental Club Gallery remains a must-see weekly event. “This project was more a concept than a band,” says Haslanger. “It was influenced by Stanley Turrentine’s 1964 Blue Note album, Hustlin’, and once I had in mind what the particu-lar sound should be, the personnel came together naturally. “I’ve worked with Dr. Polk for years and knew he loved to play the organ but rarely had the opportunity. I was less familiar with Jake but knew he’d spent years on the road with Joey DeFrancesco. Once I heard him play, it was obvious he would be ideal.” The band revels in a swingin’, soulful, blues-drenched sound that’s infectious. “Now that we’re getting national exposure on the radio, especially in cities like Chicago, I’d love to take these guys out on the road,” enthuses the South by Southwest veteran.

“This will be my 13th or 14th year. I loved the early years of the Festival, but as it got bigger and bigger, I became jaded. Hearing that some bands were getting paid to play, I wasn’t satisfied with just the exposure anymore. As my father told me, ‘You can die of exposure,’” chuckles Haslanger. “But I was immature and shortsighted. Now I think SXSW is great! I get to play for folks who would not hear my music otherwise. And it’s been great for Austin, too. I’ve really come full circle.” – Jay Trachtenberg

Frightened Rabbit10:05pm, Belmont

Jovanotti5pm, auditorium shores; Fri., 8:30pm, st. david’s Bethell hall Now living in New York, Jovanotti has become a paradox. The Italian pop star plots an upcoming summer tour of his home country’s biggest stadiums, where he’ll play in front of 80,000 adoring fans. At the same time, he’s introducing himself to an American audience that doesn’t know Jovanotti from Pavarotti. “I feel a little bit schizophrenic,” he admits. At 46, the thoughtful, engaging, and wiry Tuscan has matured into an ambassador of the arts. Still, he approaches life with the same panache as the brash kid sporting a crass Beastie Boys-inspired T-shirt on the cover of 1988’s Jovanotti for President, Italy’s first rap album. “I was crazy for ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ and everything started from there,” he remembers. “I was one of the few interested in that sort of music, maybe the only one actually.” Jovanotti began his career as a hip-hop DJ, and his music remains rooted in rap. Still, he’s not entirely comfortable being labeled a hip-hop artist and probably has more in common with Jamiroquai than Jam Master Jay. “In the United States, you need definitions,” he posits. “You need to be able to define the music of somebody in two words, but for me, it’s difficult to do that. I’m a human being, I’m complex. I can wake up one morning and do a gospel song, and then after lunch I can become techno. At 8 o’clock, I can become funk. Life is like that.”

Whatever the label, Jovanotti’s music taps into what he believes is a univer-sal pulse. “Rhythm was the first primary commu-nication tool before

language. It was a language before lan-guage. You use rhythm to make love, you use rhythm to make war. Scientists say the universe is made of rhythm. The stars are pulsing. The sun is sort of a big rhythm machine. When you synchronize yourself with this kind of universal rhythm in music, something really strong can happen.” – Thomas Fawcett

spotligHtsthuRsday showCasE pREviEws For nearly 10 years, Frightened Rabbit’s

buck – music, lyrics, production – stopped with Scott Hutchison. That worked for three albums, but after the curtain closed on 2010’s The Winter of Mixed Drinks (Fat Cat Records), Hutchison realized the old work habits weren’t cutting it anymore. For Pedestrian Verse (Atlantic), the entire, Glasgow-based band had a hand in writing the music, resulting in its most compelling effort to date. “It felt like a natural step and the right thing to do, and everyone felt more comfort-able as to what their role might be in the band,” he says, calling from Stoke-on-Trent in the south of England. “For the benefit of the record and the band, I shouldn’t be doing all of this shit on my own.” This new collaborative direction results in a bigger, cleaner, more nuanced sound that provides a cinematic backdrop for Hutchison’s jaundiced-yet-hopeful lyrics. As he sings, “While a knight in shitty armor rips

a drunk out of her dress … I’m here, not heroic but I try” on opener “Acts of Man,” a spare, Modernist aesthetic booms against Hutchison’s Romantic reflections on the cor-ruption of men and the desire to rise above those baser instincts. “We were making very direct, definite choices as opposed to the last album, where I layered up sound upon sound upon sound and it became a muck,” explains Hutchison. “This time there was actual decision making, less experimenting with instrumentation, and more focus on the arrangement rather than just chucking another guitar on.” Just as every president needs a cabinet, Pedestrian Verse proves that a mature cre-ative endeavor needs a multiplicity of voices to help reach its full potential. Even democra-cy has its limits, though. “I’ve invested a lot more time in this proj-ect than anyone else, so I’ve got the final say,” Hutchison laughs. – Melanie Haupt

Bernie Worrell orchestra12mid, the Jr “I was brought up real strict,” remembers pianist, composer, and Moog master Bernie Worrell. “I couldn’t go out and hang on the corner with ‘them hoodlums,’ as my mother called them. So I started sneaking out the bedroom window. I’d go down to the barbershop and get my hair processed. That’s how I first met George Clinton. “George used to process hair. He was a barber. All the Parliaments were.” Worrell’s mother wasn’t any more fond of Clinton in those early days in Plainfield, New Jersey, than she was after her son became a founding member of Funkadelic, arguably the most innovative freak show music has ever seen. The Wizard of Woo was a child prodigy well before Dr. Funkenstein rubbed relaxer on his dome, however. He first sat behind the 88 keys at age 3 and gave his first classical concert at 4. As a primary song-writer for Parliament Funkadelic, Worrell penned classics like “Flash Light,” “Aqua Boogie,” “Cosmic Slop,” and “Chocolate City.” Now front-ing his own Orchestra, the 68-year-old admits life on the road rides a bit tamer than his heyday aboard the Mothership. “You sleep a lot on the plane and sleep a lot trying to acclimate to the different time zones,” he laughs. “The difference then is you were par-tying. Before, during, and after the show. Now, arthritis and different factors say, ‘Uh-uh, no you don’t.’” Worrell’s current big band laces original com-positions among covers from P-Funk and Talking Heads. “I’m just a conduit. It comes from God, through me, and to the people. I was born with perfect pitch, so anything I hear, I can play. I just try to do my share and heal people along the way.” – Thomas Fawcett

“Saving the Good Stuff for You.” That’s the title of the closing track on Richard Thompson’s new album, Electric (New West), the British guitar slinger’s most ener-getic release in a decade. Lyrically, Thompson summons the resignation of an old Nashville hand, which makes sense given that the album was produced by Buddy Miller in Music City, USA. Seeing as the virtuoso guitarist and pioneering songwriter, now 63, won a lifetime achievement award from the Americana Music Association recently, maybe they should’ve waited another year. “Americana really means roots music,” he notes. “They know I’m not a country artist. They know I’m not American. So they’re trying to widen the category. Sometimes it gets marginalized, but we’re in a good period. We’re seeing people like the Mumfords and Decemberists get very popular.” The still wry Thompson famously got his start with the groundbreaking Fairport Convention, a seminal Sixties electric folk outfit that for a time became England’s answer to a newly plugged-in Bob Dylan. He helped define confessional songwriting for a generation when he and his ex-wife, Linda Thompson, went their separate ways after

releasing the fraught 1982 masterpiece Shoot Out the Lights. Thirty years on, Thompson says inspiration comes more read-ily the older he gets. “I can get to the starting point easier,” says the songwriter, who teaches a compos-ing seminar at SXSW this year. As for his work with Nashville stalwart Buddy Miller, and the decision to join the indie New West stable – which includes Miller, Steve Earle, and Kris Kristofferson – it’s all part of a piece for the music veteran. “I’ve known Buddy for a few years,” says Thompson. “He records at home, which is nice. He’s got it set up in a creatively chaotic way, and it was a lot of fun.” – Dan Oko

If Milo has a prevailing theme, it’s trou-ble with intimacy. Accounting drone Duncan (Ken Marino) has problems forging relation-ships with his wife (Gillian Jacobs), his father (Stephen Root), and Milo, the rage-fueled demon baby living in his colon. “It’s a fresh take on a monster movie,” said Marino. “A monster crawls out of some-body’s ass, kills people, and goes back up their ass.” A rectally obsessed relationship comedy with a scatological/supernatural splash is not necessarily what you would expect from Jacob Vaughan, a longtime creative collabo-rator with such talents as the Duplass brothers and Bryan Poyser. There is, he admits, a slightly autobiographical twist to it. No, not the colon creature. “I had my bouts with bowels,” Vaughan said, “up until I became an adult and realized that my diet directly affects how I feel inside.” But that’s not the kind of inner turmoil Milo is really about. Whenever the beast returns home to his cozy intestinal nest, Vaughan said, “Duncan feels very humiliated and ruined and distraught. Whenever I lose my temper or lose my cool, which is essentially what’s happening whenever Milo goes out in the world and kills somebody, I feel humiliated because I lost my cool.” Still, selling even experienced comedy actors on Rosemary’s Butt-Baby couldn’t have been easy. “You do it honestly,” Vaughan said. “I’d say to people: ‘Look, you’re never going to see it actually crown-ing. That’s just not what I want to do. But I’m going to imply, and I’m going to shoot

around it, and it’s really not about the crea-ture. It’s about this guy coming to terms with his life.’” The movie depends on Milo – a two-per-son puppet created by Fractured FX – being believable. Marino called their on-set rela-tionship “a little dance. … He’s such a beautiful puppet, with such personality. The way the puppeteers were moving it around, it did feel like it was present and there.” Production hinged on their biggest star’s availability, as the crew only had Milo him-self for 11 out of 25 shooting days. When all you can shoot in any one action sequence is a single gag, Vaughan said, “The puppeteer’s back here and Gillian’s over here, and he’s occasionally actually hitting Gillian, but it worked, because all I needed was a couple of seconds here and a couple of seconds there, and I can bridge it.” When it came to their most intimate scenes, Marino said: “The key prob-lem I had when I saw the monster was, how does it fit up my ass? Because its head was so big, it would be painful, there would be damage, I would die.” That’s not exactly the kind of scene for which the Method prepares you. For those all-important insertions, he said, “I try to imagine a monster crawling up my ass, and then I portray that real pain.” Vaughan said, “My dream is someone coming to Comic-Con dressed up as Milo. Or dressed up as Duncan with Milo coming out of his ass.”

“If you tweet it, they will come,” Jacobs added. While Marino was cuddling up with Milo, she had her own practical effects to deal with: a prosthetic preg-nancy bump. She said, “My mom came over to my apartment when we had the fitting. It was pretty strange, standing there with a pregnant belly with my mom going, ‘Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.’” Jacobs described herself and Marino as “co-straight-men in the movie. We’re basically just in a marriage drama.” Although, she admitted, most relation-ship dramas with this much butt action “are more like Last Tango in Paris.” Before becoming famous as Britta, the perky megalomaniac of NBC’s Community, she said, “I only did very serious movies, and I don’t think people

think of me doing those anymore. So it’s fun for me, because that’s what I started doing.” If Marino has problems getting close to Milo, when it came to acting

with Patrick Warburton as his boss, the key words were “personal space.” Marino said, “Patrick Warburton made this choice in the movie where it was like he was attracted to me and coming on to me in every scene. He would invade my space and get real close and get real quiet and flirty, and I didn’t know what the hell.” Jacobs: “He wanted to fuck you and fuck you over, like any good boss.”

REVIEwsThE ACT Of KIllINGFestival FavoRites

d: Joshua oppenheimeR

History is written by the winners. Sometimes, like after Indonesia’s atrocity-laden reign of terror during the 1960s, that’s because the losers are dead. Texas-born Oppenheimer (with co-directors Christine Cynn and “Anonymous”) dares former death-squad leaders even further: to re-enact their crimes in their own feature film, while he films a “making of”-style documentary. These are grifters, robbers, and thugs recast as national heroes. In their surreal fantasy, they portray themselves as Cagney-style suave gangsters, surrounded by dancing girls, yet the audience recognizes them as monstrous criminals. In that tension lies the film’s enthralling, despairing heart. Seek no confes-sional here: A boast comes with no sense of shame. Instead, Oppenheimer gently lures these despots into the most dangerous of places: their victims’ shoes. Will they feel guilt, or empathy, or just reminisce like old men swapping golfing stories? Those reac-tions reveal the true nature of this undeniably significant film: a human rights trial disguised as a searing and disturbing documentary. – Richard WhittakerthuRsday, maRch 14, 8pm, violet cRoWn

In a run for the border as gripping and complex as his 1996 Lone Star, writer/direc-tor Sayles propels two old friends – a parole officer and an ex-con – deep into the Mexican underworld on a desperate search for the former’s missing son. By-the-book Bernice (Hamilton) taps fresh-from-prison Fontayne (Ross) for leads among her shady associates, dropping the two down the rabbit hole of drug and human trafficking, where Fontayne grows concerned with upholding the law while Bernice bends it to her will. As the estranged schoolmates – so close they could “go for sis-ters” – are drawn back together, the actress-es achingly convey the pain of their pasts and needs of their present. With help from a gruff former cop with failing vision, masterfully portrayed by Olmos, the hunt is fraught with tension, though Sayles – as always, keeping the action at street level and vividly filling the screen with a culture’s sights, sounds, and

With VOD and digital downloads so ubiqui-tous, it’s almost impossible to remember that only four years ago, the Internet was the film industry’s bane, and the Pirate Bay fileshar-ing site its great demon. Klose’s film is less a documentary and more a third-person video diary of the 2009 trial of the site’s four main managers and their journey through the oddly relaxed Swedish legal system. Klose’s delib-

erately flat narrative tone – interspersed with lyrical shots of servers and cables – leaves it unclear how much he endorses them and their increasingly straw-man fight against the creative industry. However, possibly inadver-tently, he takes a portrait of the worst side of the IT industry – misogynistic, arrogant, and prone to confusing “can be done” with “should be done.” Klose has already put the whole film on YouTube. That’s his choice. The Pirate Bay defendants never gave thousands of filmmakers, big and small, studio and indie, the same luxury. – Richard WhittakerthuRsday, maRch 14, 11:30am, vimeo

– well, men – who are obsessed with the moon. There’s a former astronaut and bona fide moonwalker among them – Alan Bean of NASA’s Apollo 12 mission – but the others are strictly earthbound citizens, just more relentlessly focused on our biggest satellite. Among them: Christopher Carson, a young and painfully sincere übergeek who yearns to be the first person to live on the moon; Dennis Hope, a former ventriloquist who’s got the cojones to claim ownership of the moon and makes a living selling deeds to lunar property; and the endearing, grandfatherly Peter Kokh, longtime president and champion of the Moon Society. Ennis does a fine job of presenting these moonstruck men and more, providing pop-culture context with clips from

a variety of media, limning the quirky lunatics with empathy, gentle humor, and dynamic pacing. – Wayne Alan BrennerthuRsday, maRch 14, 11am, alamo Ritz

Good news! The sci-fi thriller Plus One answers the question that has been plaguing us for years: If a meteor hits Earth and warps space-time, resulting in a duplicate of the woman you are having sex with, it is in fact more scary than hot. Predominantly set at a college house party, Plus One follows David (Wakefield) and his friend Teddy (Miller) as they come to terms with their changing lives. Jill (Hinshaw), David’s ex, also attends. And just as they start arguing about David’s inabil-ity to accept change – and just as Teddy gets close with a new friend, Melanie (Hall) – a supernatural phenomenon warps time, creat-ing clones of the partygoers. As the original guests grow suspicious of the clones, mob mentality takes hold and the friends make increasingly dubious decisions. Fun and fright-ening, the film provides both a face-value thriller with gratuitous nudity and an interest-ing narrative on the nature of self. – Ashley MorenothuRsday, maRch 14, 12mid, alamo Ritz

Portrait of the artist as a working American. With her feature debut, Seattle choreographer Dayna Hanson fashions a dramatic account of making her 2010 dance-theatre work, Gloria’s Cause (seen locally at last year’s Fusebox Festival). While her co-creators play fictionalized versions of them-selves and some events are invented, there’s truth in Hanson’s depiction of the work that occurs outside the spotlight – rehearsals in dreary government buildings, endless calls to book gigs, extra jobs to stay afloat – par-ticularly for those artists in the U.S. today far from the country’s cultural centers. As this troupe develops its piece about the American Revolution, revealing the humanity of its leaders and exposing the realities behind its principles, parallels emerge, with Hanson a George Washington, vulnerable and criticized, fighting to lead eight artists as fractious as the 13 colonies. Art, like America, might be an experiment “designed to fail,” but Hanson engagingly shows that when artists unite for a common good, something glorious emerges. – Robert FairesthuRsday, maRch 14, 1:30pm, alamo Ritz

Hey Bartender ostensibly documents the rise of the craft cocktail, tracing its particular components – fresh juice, infused liquors, arcane ice treatments, and historical specific-ity – to a handful of bars in New York City. The flashy and dramatic hierarchy of one such bar, Employees Only, is directly contrasted with the workaday clientele of a Westport, Conn., neighborhood restaurant and bar

owned by Stephen Carpentieri. At Employees Only, we watch Steve Schneider, an affable and adorable war vet, perfect his craft and ascend in the ranks; meanwhile, Carpentieri haphazardly heads into the world of specialty adult beverages. It’s a tale of two bars, basi-cally, and Hey Bartender has just enough panache and style to make you forget that the craft cocktail you just downed almost put you out twenty bucks. – Andy CampbellthuRsday, maRch 14, 9:30pm, alamo Ritz

WoRld pRemieRe

d: ben naboRs; With William kamkWamba, tom Rielly

William Kamkwamba seized an opportunity when famine destroyed his Malawian village’s livelihood. After dropping out of school due to a lack of foods and funds, teenage William found a photograph of a windmill, gathered scraps, and fashioned the windmill that would later generate electricity and bring power and promise to his people. Developing a friend-ship with American Tom Rielly initiated a sharp turn in Kamkwamba’s road toward edu-cation and global success, but the straddle between cultures worlds apart taught William a word not used in his native Chichewa: stress. The combination of his youth and a far-beyond-his years maturity grounded William in the chaos. Filmed over five years, director Ben Nabors’ documentary paints a subtle but beautiful portrait of William and the windmills that transformed his world. Capturing daydreams of William’s faraway home and his new (and sharply contrasting) urban environments, this documentary grace-fully illuminates issues of black, white, rich, poor, hard work, pain, destiny, and dreams. – Jessi CapethuRsday, maRch 14, 11:15am, stateside

REAlITy shOwnaRRative spotlight, WoRld pRemieRe

d: adam RiFkin; With RiFkin, scott andeRson, kelly menighan hensley, monika tilling

When director and star Adam Rifkin was asked whether The Truman Show inspired his new narrative feature, in which a (boring/perfect) Cleaver-esque family is followed without knowledge or consent for a reality show, he told the gathered crowd he was more inspired by Sidney Lumet’s Network. Rifkin points to the constructed-ness of reality television – notably the presence of invasive advertising techniques and story producers who goad their subjects into doing something untoward. Here, the consequences are traumatic for all characters. The humor of Rifkin’s script is juvenile, and perhaps that’s the point. Tellingly, the film began as a series for Showtime and has subsequently been recut as a feature-length film. A teen-age girl is ogled in the shower, a curt network veep is called a cunt, and a pregnant lady is mowed down: This might make for interesting television, but Reality Show’s real question is whether these things also amount to an effective and incisive critique. The audience on opening night seemed to think so; I was less convinced. – Andy CampbellthuRsday, maRch 14, 7pm, stateside

sAKE-BOMBvisions, WoRld pRemieRe

d: Junya sakino; With gaku hamada, eugene kim, maRlane baRnes

In his first feature film, Sakino takes us on a funny, finely executed road trip of love, loss, and culture clashes: Unemployed video blogger Sebastian (Kim) is a cynical Asian-American who knows more about Asian stereotypes than he does his own culture. His life takes a turn when his naive cousin Naoto (Hamada), a professional sakemaker, arrives from Japan in search of his long-lost girlfriend. Ordered by his father to help Naoto find his ex, Sebastian – resentful of his role as chauffeur and chaperone – gradually takes

on a softer edge as the two bond over some hard lessons about women. Along the way, Naoto gets his first jolting taste of a sake-bomb – made by dropping a shot of sake into a glass of beer. The cocktail is an illustrative blend of two worlds in one Nissan, making for a road trip movie that is no ordinary journey. – Amy SmiththuRsday, maRch 14, 8:30pm,

d: todd sklaR; With alex Rennie, James pumphRey, chRistopheR meloni

When a movie opens with the death of a father and still manages to get laughs, some-thing is either going very right or very wrong. In the case of Awful Nice, it’s both. The hijinks the two brothers get into by mistake or by design are, almost without fail, wrong. That wrongness includes run-ins with Russian thugs, prostitutes, varmints, the police, and enough flying fists to fill an action flick (if the leads were drunk the whole time). If it sounds like another Hangover sequel, then you’re not far off, but Jim (Pumphrey) and Dave (Rennie) muster the humor of three actors easily. Dave sometimes resembles Charlie from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia a bit too closely, but it’s hard to fault him when the laughs come

this fast and furious. And that’s what’s right – well, that, and great side performances from Meloni and Yakov Smirnoff, of all people. – James RenovitchthuRsday, maRch 14, 4:30pm, alamo Ritz

d: Jones; With Rob knighton, noRa tschiRneR

In the dark comedy Everyone’s Going to Die, Ray (Knighton), an unhappily married, middle-aged gangster, meets and falls in love with an unemployed, engaged woman named Melanie (Tschirner). The two get along inconveniently well (given their marital statuses), and after little more than a cup of coffee, Ray takes her to his estranged broth-er’s funeral, where they meet his brother’s Wiccan family. Both characters have their reasons for unhappiness, to which they can now add the hopelessness of their budding relationship. None of this gets the characters down, however. Instead, they almost always find a way to make each other smile. These humorous exchanges between the two drive the film, which, despite its grandiose themes of love, loss, and mortality, remains com-pletely unpretentious and seriously funny.

What could be better than a doc about Afghanistan with nary a suicide bomb, a sub-jugated woman in a burqa, or a waterboarding event? The Network is a terrific, eye-opening, and heartwarming look at the first indepen-dent television station in Kabul, Tolo TV. Begun as a radio station, Tolo today employs more than 800 people. Shown the ropes by a group of Australians and Afghani expats, Afghans are learning how to produce pro-gramming – news, cooking and travel shows, dramas, and, yes, even Sesame Street – for a population where people often gather around an old-school set powered by a car battery. (It turns out that many Afghani adults – at least 60% of whom are illiterate, according to the film – are learning to read by watch-ing Sesame Street. A two-fer.) In the end, the question remains how long Tolo will remain afloat when all the foreigners leave. – Anne S. LewisthuRsday, maRch 14, 6:45pm, alamo Ritz

do or do Notsxsw sports docs follow heroes’ journeys

by Joe o’connell

“You can do what you can do,” young Allan Kournikova tells the camera, blond hair flow-ing over his sky-blue eyes, as the chubby-faced 7-year-old competes in the World Championships of Junior Golf. Mark his Buddha-like words as the mantra of multiple sports documentaries featured during the South by Southwest Film Festival that all fol-low a form of American mythologist Joseph Campbell’s so-called “hero’s journey”: They are called to adventure; cross the threshold into a new world; face tests, allies, and ene-mies; and return home changed. It’s at the heart of SXSW sports docs that range from sailing to small-town basketball. Kournikova – yes, he’s retired tennis star Anna Kournikova’s much younger brother – is one of eight huggable stars of The Short Game, including the female Tiger Woods (she calls herself the Tigress), the shy kid, and the pink-clad girlie-girl Texan. “From the beginning of the development of this project, I thought of the kids as David and the game of golf and the difficult golf course in Pinehurst as our Goliath,” says filmmaker Josh Greenbaum. “More so than competing against each other, they are all competing against the course, against old man par.” On some level, you want to hate these pre-cocious overachievers, or feel sorry for them, and surely to find fault in their “stage” par-ents. “I learned, just like every parent is dif-ferent, every child is different,” Greenbaum says. “Take Allan and Alexa [the Texan]. Just like Jack Nicklaus says in the film about him-self, they too thrive on that pressure. They actually enjoy it.” That personal journey is also at the heart of the docs Maidentrip, which follows 14-year-old Laura Dekker on her almost two-year sail-ing trip around the world, and The Other Shore, about then 62-year-old Diana Nyad’s attempt to finally complete a treacherous solo swim from Cuba to Florida that she first tried in 1978. Dekker is from Holland, where the govern-ment tried and failed to stop her journey – a

journey that seems predestined for a girl born during her parents’ seven-year-long ocean journey. The uncertainty of the sea and the wind defines the levelheaded teen, who transforms from girl to young woman before our eyes. Director Jillian Schlesinger gave Dekker cameras and some basic interview questions and met Dekker at a few stops along the way. “I wanted to collaborate with her, to provide a platform for her strong voice to be heard so that people could understand and relate to her unique story of determina-tion and courage, and her voyage to find her place in the world,” Schlesinger says. “It’s inspiring to other young women with bold dreams – that girls can be tough and gritty and badass and do things like conquer the world alone in a boat.” Nyad’s story, on the other hand, is more troubling, as it raises the question of whether life is the journey or the destination. The doc shows the competitor-turned-famed-sports commentator to be stunted. She has not been in a relationship in 20 years, her moth-er has recently died, she hasn’t been swim-ming in 21 years, and sports doctors say this journey is now physically impossible. The doc reveals Nyad’s claim of long-term sexual abuse by a coach when she was a teen and a strained relationship with a stepfather she portrays as a professional hustler, but avoids any deep discussion of her openly lesbian adult life. “It’s what keeps me going – the real vision of the other shore,” Nyad says in the film, which was directed by her nephew Tim Wheeler, who is too young to remember his aunt’s previous exploits in distance swim-ming. The doc follows Nyad through her train-ing and preparation before thrusting the audi-ence into the open water, teeming with sharks and jellyfish. It is the tears of her best friend, fellow sports competitor Bonnie Stoll, that are most touching as she cries both at the beauty of watching a top athlete in action and from worry that Nyad is obsessed with an unattainable goal.

The quest seems simple enough for the high school basketball players in the docu-mentary Medora: Win one game. That’s it. Just taste it once. But the Indiana town is dying, the senior class has only 16 members, and the team has lost 44 straight games. Davy Rothbart read a New York Times story about the town of Medora and alerted Andrew Cohn. “He forwarded me the link, and the next day we drove down to Medora,” Cohn recalls. “As lifelong friends, fellow Midwesterners, and basketball fanatics, we instantly knew that this was the film we were born to make.” The filmmakers lived in an old motel, shooting 10 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, with a small crew, paying for it out of their own pockets (and with the aid of a Kickstarter campaign). “While this can begin to take its toll – physically, emotionally, and financially – it also gave us a huge amount of creative freedom,” Cohn says. “We had nobody to answer to but ourselves. Slowly, our subjects and the people within the com-munity began to trust us, generously opening their lives to us. That’s when we were able to break through and capture those raw and inti-mate moments you need in this kind of film. I think the deeper you can go, the deeper you should go.” This is a very American story: Factories have closed, drugs are a rising concern, small-town life is fading. Rusty’s mother is an addict, and he ends up living with a team-mate’s family. Dylan wants to go to Bible col-lege but is a smiling wannabe ladies’ man. Robbie has learning disabilities and hopes to be the first in his family to complete high school. Think Hoop Dreams with acne and a double-wide trailer. It follows a tradition of sports documenta-ries that are about much more than winning or losing. As The Short Game’s Greenbaum says of Kournikova: “Time and time again on the course, he would have a discussion with his caddy about an important decision they had to make, and he would more often than not go with his gut. And you quickly see there is incredible power in confidence and self-assuredness.”
