South reviews and a smattering of news
We are currently moving from a crap webhost to a non-crap webhost (we hope), so sorry if some of the pages on the site are wonky for a bit as we get re-adjusted. The MB will be moving and may be down for a wee bit as well. We’ve also managed to get a hold [...]
Tripwire - South @ Independant, SF
The Tripwire/Jenz
Tourists love San Francisco, it’s true. My fine city has given people from the Midwest and Europeans novelty trolley car rides, overpriced food on the wharf, and illimitable photo opportunities that include blocking traffic in North Beach.

Brett remixes Radiohead
Tripwire says:
South came to the States back in March for SXSW and a few coastal performances, which left out a good chunk of their fans. Fortunately the band will return to North America on April 26 to play Brooklyn, and finishing up May 15 in Los Angeles. We’re sad they aren’t coming back to Austin, [...]
