SXSW 2012: Day 1

0:08Hey, it's Matt with MSN.ca. We're here in Austin, Texas. We just landed. We're having a great time We are going to be showing you interviews with some of the biggest bands in the world Interviews some bands maybe you haven't heard of like the Apache relay who will be chatting with a little bit We're also on a quest today to find the best Texas barbecue Makes sense dot com. Ah, there's a website. It's not just walking over the hell of it. Got you guys locals any from here? Where's the best place for Texas barbecue? Place called Franklin's barbecue around the East side. That's probably the best place in the year We had to get there about 10 in the morning. You want to eat sells out every day really? So where can we get Texas barbecue? We want some good Texas barbecue

0:55Probably stubs or iron works. They're just bait. They're just basic smoke houses that they're not fancy But they've been able to build up a business around really good barbecue So we've been here less than an hour and already as a Beatles nerd I'm already geeking out because everything in this town is about music Reaper bond burgers now looking out You're not gonna think Reaper bond music what but Reaper bond is a strip of clubs in Hamburg where the Beatles got their start And which basically kick-started the music industry in Germany after the war and even the burger joints are named after music I love it. We got these wonderful French fries Reaper bond burger met some nice guys. They gave us a little t-shirt here. It's great to just meet people here It's it's really friendly in Austin everyone's so kind and this smells delicious. I need to eat it. I'm sorry We're here with the Apache relay guys just an amazing set

1:50I can't believe how you I was telling you won the crowd over and you could see it go And I guess that's a whole point of being in a festival like this, right? Yes, I think so. Yeah Could you feel it on stage? Okay? We didn't drive all this way for them not to get it Definitely felt it on stage. The crowd was amazing. It's just our first showcase here tonight So it was great to have an enthusiastic If you ask the audience so the main thing today as I was mentioning before is Texas barbecue That's that's what we're trying to figure out is where do we go for Texas barbecue? I got to give all credit on this one to Cameron Ross and Ross Holmes For both parties in the direction of the Salt Lake in driftwood, Texas. It's an hour outside of town So it's a lovely peaceful drive away from this insanity. Yeah, and I'll tell you man. You feel like you're in no country for old men

2:36There's like The brush flying across the road, you know, but you get out there There's this pit that's been there. I think for 120 years since the 1800s, right? It started out just a pit and they built the building around it and since then they placed other salt lakes around the area I understand but they always use the original flame from that pit that's been going non-stop for 120 years really to start the Fire at the other pits. That's incredible And it's the best barbecue. It's the best meal I've ever had that you've ever had period. All right So day one of South by Southwest come to a close still on a search though for this barbecue in all of Texas What what do you recommend? Ray Boy. What's up? Everything. It starts off with a bed of sauce. Yeah

3:24And then on top of that, you put a little bit of sauce And then we put the rest of it. Yeah. And then as the beers they resist on, you throw on, throw it for it Done That sounds amazing That is a man which I like it That my playboy? Oh, yeah Thank you. I'm very excited. It's awesome.
