Delicate Steve, Stages on Sixth, Austin Tx, March 16 2013

Research as much as you like, some of the real gems of SXSW are the unexpected discoveries. This set was jaw dropping. Like a twisted New Power Generation playing the solos in Paranoid Android or Steve Vai, this band played a largely instrumental set. The rock-jazz-funk had chemical elements and left us wondering how a band like this had developed its sound, or even met like minded fellow musicians.
