As a comment on that interview pointed out, passer byers had no idea that Jordan’s stage name, The Ready Set, would have a huge 2011. Now, one year later, he filled the Emo’s Main Stage on SXSW 2011′s final day. Here are the pictures we got, plenty of video to follow tonight!! Continue...

I’m not going to lie. When today started I had never heard of Friendly Fires. A packed house at the MTV Garage at SXSW has changed that.

We have to admit it. Going to the W Hotel in Austin was a little intimidating. One of the swankiest hotels in town, the W is playing host to a ton of artists during the SXSW festival.

The interview will be posted up later but until then, check out our photo shoot with the band. Continue...

I had just completed my very first day at SXSW and was ready for more. One year later, the music has stayed the same but the context has changed quite a bit. Continue...
