Last night we decided to party just as hard* as we know all those guys at SXSW have been doing all week long. Today, we face the consequences. Whoops!
Editor’s note: by virtue of this being posted here, we actually ARE doing work.
*this is a blatant lie.
It’s a little slow here in the music biz this week, due a little thing I like to call SXSW. Wes and Lauren have both abandoned NYC for Austin for the week, and Lauren had the pleasure of meeting DJ Skeet Skeet (above).
During the lull, you should check out the plethora of new content we released last week:
Casey Shea’s “It Is What It Is” ft.Rosi Golan
Rosi Golan’s “Say It Anyway” ft.Casey Shea
FamilyRecordsTV, Episode 1
Matt and Martin, Episode 3
