Thrasher's Death Match once again hit SXSW this year in Austin, TX. Some bands like Cro-Mags, Mistah Fab, Andrew WK, Fear and others made the big dance, and others just couldn't seem to pull it(they know who they are)...
Cro Mags played day one and it was a definite highlight...
Yeah Austin knows how to get down...

Fear's Lee Ving with Cro-Mags John Joseph after day one's blow-out...

Then it was off to an All-Star dinner with the crew...
Back at the house, time for some Patman and Robin pre-game...
Day 2, we'd be seeing a lot of the Scoot Inn...
Andrew WK in the house...
Everyone gettin stoked on Lee Ving sighting (well, almost everyone right @Marketinggoon)
Everynight we'd get a free Patman and Robin performance. Knew the entire set list by the time they got on stage...
I dont think this is the Code Orange Kids...

Day 3's schedule...
Trash Talk killed shit...

Meanwhile someone was runnin a loose ship...

Last Call wise, we continued the Death Match vibe out on the tracks...
Then it was time for hip hop day/night(apparently these dudes are #downWithHustle...

Willie D in the house, no bigs...

Scarface, Schmitty G, Mia X, and Willie D — Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

On the final day, it was "Our Guys" gearing up for the Skate Folk theme...
The moment everyone was waiting for... PATMAN AND ROBIN!!!
No hangover was gonna make Slash and Arco miss this...
They killed it. Rob's got nerves of steel...
