Austin City Limits - Day One
We spent the afternoon at ACL and had a good time.
The highlight of the shows we saw yesterday was Okkervil River. This is a local band made good and they were back to play their old stuff and some new stuff.
We went backstage with some friends and had a bird's eye view and particularly dug the drummer who was great.
The lead singer brings a ton of energy and they've got some great songs.
My favorite is For Real.
I like this, though I always thought they would sound different. There was an Okkervil River poster in the bathroom at 11 Hope Street, it was scary, now I know I need not fear the Okkervil River.
