When you put on a big event like our annual Stubb’s party at SXSW, sometimes its hard to completely comprehend how everything really went down. Michael Corcoran from the Austin American-Statesman had this to say: “I’ve been to every Spin party at SXSW since the days when DJs like Money Mark spun in a suite at the Hyatt Regency [Ed. note, we were banned there for years], and this was the best. Yes, partly that’s because Pete Townshend came out and did ‘The Seeker’ with the Fratellis at about 2 in the afternoon…But Kings of Leon were almost perfect; a rock band that makes us realize that bashing about can be a noble calling. Certainly one of the best sets I’ve seen at 21 years of SXSW.”
Watch Kings of Leon and the rest of the sets from the Spin party:
