Since every blogger and their mother is at SXSW covering 3,000 bands you’ve never heard of, we figured we’d give you a SXSW-free edition of Hors:

  • How a band can reach that fellate-able level
  • Don’t Wakarusa Langerado!
  • Gilberto Gil gets back to North America after an eight-year hiatus (Ace will be there tomorrow night at Carnegie Hall)
  • Friday night KVMW (Kimock, Vega, Molo, and White) played their first gig, and it’s already available for purchase from nugs.net
  • Ozzfest posts tour dates for this summer’s “free” tour – still no lineup
  • Here Comes The Flood looks at covers of Pink Floyd’s Interstellar Overdrive
  • moe. has finally started making recent shows available for download
  • The return of the Fish
  • MoonShine Still is beginning a coast to coast tour this week
  • Does Everyday Companion’s Ted Rockwell ever sleep? Here is yet another edition of EC’s podcast
  • Sonic Youth will be playing 1988’s Daydream Nation in its entirety this summer
  • George Weiss’ My Morning Jacket photos from Langerado hit Papa Glide
  • A new edition of Concerted
  • Start the week with some live Zeppelin

I also saw the Levon Helm Band this weekend and everyone in the balcony around me was sitting. Do you usually sit or stand and dance at a concert?
