(EDIT: I know this is late as fuck, but whatevs. In March of this year, I attended the ever so awesome SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. I got tons of footage of all kinds of bands, but I have been too busy to get around to posting them. Well now is the time is right and I will be posting a set of videos each day from a band that performed )
The first band featured in this new segment is prog sludge masters, Intronaut. They only performed once at SXSW this year, but I made sure I was there to catch it. They played the Metalsucks South By South Death Showcase along with Nachtmystium, Monstr0, High On Fire, Black Tusk, Holy Grail, and Darkest Hour at The Mohawk Patio. Over all the show was pretty meh, but Intronaut was for sure the highlight.
Above is a video of the band performing Core Relations off of the bands latest release, “Valley Of Smoke”. Below is a video of the band performing my personal favorite Intronaut song, Any Port.

Intronaut are sick. A funny story was when I went to purchase my guitar at Guitar Center on Sunset. The sales guy who was assisting me asked me about my Animals As Leaders shirt and asked if I liked Periphery. I said yes and that I got this shirt while on the AAL and Intronaut tour. He told me that Sacha worked at the Guitar Center and I played it off, yeah right right? I’m jamming on random instruments and turn to see Sacha working on some guitars behind the counter. I was floored. I didn’t go up to bother him because it wasn’t the time. But true story.
