DEPECHE MODE | SXSW 2013

Sometimes at SXSW you just have to be at the right place at the right time. I found myself in line with some great folks who provided optimism of getting into the free exclusive Depeche Mode show at Brazos Hall in Austin. In support of the new DM album, the band held an awesome chat a few days back at the Convention Center discussing the history of the band as well as personal reflections of standing the test of time. It blew my mind!
But to watch the band perform new songs off the new record as well as a couple classics was absolute heaven! Peep pics!

SXSW BATCH 1

Just kicked off day 2 at SXSW and have already had several highlights! Watching Anne Litt interview Devendra Banhart at the Convention Center and seeing out of the corner of my eye Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan casually chill with a cup of coffee was one of them! KCRW held two showcases which were amazing! Toro Y Moi absolutely blew my mind away. Watching an artist perform songs from an album you love and hold in a high regard is always a great experience. Wild Belle and Tom Odell killed it too!! Okay 2 in effect. Currently listening to Clive Davis from across the hall while waiting for this panel session with Elliott Smith and Kendrick Lamar! Stay posted for more shots + updates!
