Many of the acts were posting tweets throughout the music conference and festival, sometimes even on stage or during interviews. ADVERTISEMENT Microblogging by performers shed a new light on their SXSW experience, revealing the fun, fatigue and frenzy of the annual Austin music event _ which concluded early Sunday. Dave Navarro, the guitarist for Jane's Addiction, took a photo of this reporter in the middle of an interview of the band, later explaining a negative story would mean the wrath of his Twitter followers. Later, after playing "Three Days," he tweeted from the stage: "We just played 3 days Yeah!" Tweets must be 140 characters or less and can be posted directly from mobile phones to twitter.com. Colin Meloy, the frontman for the Decemberists, perfectly reflected typical pre-show and post-show emotions. Shortly before performing the band's new folk opera "The Hazards of Love" for the first time, he wrote: "Krikes! Nervous as all get up. Think good thoughts." The morning after the show, at 6:52 a.m., he posted: "Wow. Now I'm hungover as all get out." Edward Droste, singer for Grizzly Bear, thoroughly enjoyed a show performed by his bandmate, Daniel Rossen, in his side project, Department of Eagles: "Department of Eagles with Victoria Legrand covering the dead. So hilarious and awesome." Amanda Palmer, half of the duo Dresden Dolls, also tweeted as a spectator: "very happy moment. DEVO just walked by and they were WEARING THE WEIRD ANGULAR FLOWERPOT HATS." With some 1,900 bands playing at SXSW, it's impossible to see everything you want _ which is especially true if you're one of the bands playing. The Portland band Blitzen Trapper, led by Eric Early, posted on this common tragedy: "Despite the warm rays of the sun, sadness reigns as i learn that Drink Up Buttercup is playing when we are. cruelly fated. wanna see em." R&B singer Solange Knowles also expressed a frustration often felt by SXSW-goers as they await the next act to hit the stage. At Saturday night's Perez Hilton party, things ran a little behind. From backstage, Knowles, eager to perform, wrote: "Let's gooooooooooo! Ready to rock!" ___ On the Net: http://www.sxsw.com/ http://twitter.com/Colinmeloy http://twitter.com/DaveNavarro6767 http://twitter.com/blitzentrapper http://twitter.com/solangeknowles http://twitter.com/amandapalmer http://twitter.com/EdwardDroste Email Story IM Story Printable View Blog This Recommend this article Average (0 votes) Sign in to recommend this article » Most Recommended Stories » Related Articles: Entertainment & Lifestyle Natasha Richardson buried near upstate NY homeAP - Monday, March 23 Reality TV star Jade Goody dies of cancerAFP - Monday, March 23 "Knowing" tops box officeAFP - Monday, March 23 Acts twitter at SXSW, in interviews and on stageAP - Monday, March 23 Sci-fi thriller "Knowing" tops weekend box officeReuters - Monday, March 23 Most Popular – Entertainment Viewed Prince Charles blue over green crusade British reality TV star Jade Goody dies of cancer Madoff loses bail appeal as victims' rage revealed Opel boss hints at closing German plants Arrest warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan View Complete List » Search: Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Top Stories Most Popular Copyright © 2009 Yahoo!
