In the first video if you jump to the 3 minute mark that’s where you can see me throwing a trash can in the air. Fader has removed these videos from their site because they are being lame as fuck about Trash Talk doing theirs. The video looks like shit because someone copied it before they took it down. This was the best thing to happen at SXSW all week though, Trash Talk drew the line in the sand and said fuck it.
SXSW has grown so much and now with Facebook exposure as people click like and status updates of attending parties all kinds of clueless fucks are showing up at places simply for free beer. It’s gotten worse than beer festivals as some people don’t even give a fuck about music. I don’t expect everyone to like hardcore but if you’re in the front banging your head because you think it’s cute and then you start fucking CRYING when shit really starts to fly you need to get the fuck out.
In the second video you can see homeboy get hit in the face with a full on beer. The whole performance there really was a sense of us vs them. I’ve never even seen trash talk until then. Shit before the show even started I was like fuck it I don’t feel good I’m not fucking with a pit. But as they began to setup you could see the tension building as hardcore kids began to slowly work their way up front. As all those lames in the center ran away that’s when I said oh lets do it and ran up in there. I was hoping for a tighter pit as I don’t like skanking but would rather just smash into kids full speed. Unfortunately with so many pussies in attendance and a 100ft pit by the end that wasn’t possible unless I wanted to smash the same kid over and over. Although I did keep a bunch of kids in the air surfing. Whatever though, it was worth it and fuck everyone who booed them, you belong at a foursquare party drinking whatever piss your rsvp got you that day.
Oh I should also mention this all happened after the James Blake performance
