I was wondering what happened to the (what I expected to be) annual Hot Freaks! SXSW party that for the last several years has been put on by a host of excellent bloggers at Club De Ville and the Mohawk in Austin, but I never found out - all I know is that it didn't happen in 2010.

Which isn't to say there wasn't a host of good music at those venues this year. On Friday March 19th, Brooklyn Vegan descended on Club De Ville and hosted a great set of bands (and free beer! and free vodka! and free food! and free ear plugs! (critically important at the loud shows)).

I was especially excited about The Antlers and Sondre Lerche. Long time readers will know I'm a big fan of Sondre Lerche, having seen and taped him numerous times, beginning with this show in support of his first record, Faces Down, back in 2003.

As usual he didn't disappoint, playing a great little show - finishing up with a rousing solo (with audience as accompaniment) rendition of his classic, Modern Nature. Check out a few of the tracks below.
