Ever wonder what it feels like to be "with the band"? How about "in the band"? Either way, both beat "with stupid." But back to SXSW––our favorite home-grown NYC band Selebrities agreed to share this little photo diary. Enjoy!
At South by Southwest, aka the most hectic, stressful yet incredibly enjoyable time a band can experience, there's so much going on at once––shows, food, film, topless hippies (free love). This was our first time attending the festival, and going as performers was probably the best way to experience it. We showed love to some of our favorite Brooklyn bands like Widowspeak and Beacon, got to see our college crushes The Shout Out Louds again, and frequented a handful of up-and-coming hip-hop acts––chock-full of air horns, just the way we like it. We were scheduled to fly back to New York on Saturday, so we topped off our last night with Solange at the Hype Hotel, with our Taco Bell Cool Ranch Dorito Tacos in hand. Check it all out below.
