Hey again. More revealing photos from the candid camera of Yebo. We are currently on tour with Heavy Trash in South America and partly to brag and partly to make the guys at Crunchy HQ jealous I am posting pix from the tour. As you can see from the entries so far we are all pretty damn focused on enjoying the hell out of what this continent can offer us in terms of food and drink.

And also scenery... 

...and music. 

The photos are viewable on The World Famous Crunchy Frog Flickr Page. Klick this link and go see!

I'll upload more as we go along, so stop in in a few days and see some more.

PS: Tour is now ended and the photodiary is complete. 

Haia!

It took me a while but finally I got around to sorting out our photos from the recent trip to USA with the 3 Crunchy bands. It was a really fun trip and we got a lot out of it in terms of business. We had great shows and great food - and drinks aplenty. Like it should be.

You can see Jessica's pictures from the trip at flickr with my comments. As you'll notice we brought our son Henry on the trip, so it was hard to find pix without him in them (that's what happens when you become a parent - you can't stop photographing the little buggers!). Anyway: we at CF HQ thought that it'd be of general interest to the citizens of the planet, so please go to our flickr-page and get an eyefull (and isn't he cute btw?).

We also put a small video snippet of 18th Dye on there. If you wanna watch some PowerSolo from the trip you'll find some stuff in this very blog.

Here's also some Youtube-stuff from the Music Slut dayparty show of Snake and Jet. 

Enjoy! We did!

If you're at SXSW... I got the idea to share some good shopping and dining tips in Austin.

I have been to SXSW pretty much every year since 2000 and I've come to really like the city. Yebo and I have had the fortune to staying at our good old friend and Crunchy relative, Matt Caldwell. They live out in beautiful Enfield, where there is this really oldschool diner/drugstore that serves the perfect hangover breakfast. I dig the place so much, I bought two T-shirts. How is that for a recommendation??

In general for shopping: South Congress and North Guadalupe have a lot of cool boutiques and of course dining options. See some addresses below:

Chuy's: Barton Springs Rd. good tex-mex in a rock 'n' roll atmosphere http://www.chuys.com/

Guero's Taco Bar: South Congress. Great for snacking with a margarita on the porch - if you can get a table outside. http://www.guerostacobar.com/

Magnolia Café: South Congress. Not to miss. Great for brunch and breakfast. Crowded during SXSW. Use waiting time in the gaget's shop next door. http://www.cafemagnolia.com/
