SXSW communique: It’s 4:32 a.m. in Austin and I’m decompressing from TV On The Radio’s stellar performance at Stubb’s. My ears are ringing and my flesh is vibrating like a tuning fork struck by the hand of Apollo.

Performing before a capacity crowd, the pioneers of the Brooklyn new music scene brought some genuine magic to SXSW - a mystic vibe under a nearly full moon in a perfectly clear night sky.

TVOTR opened their set with “Young Liars,” from their 2003 debut EP.

The band pushed the limits of Stubb’s sound system and my camera’s mic. The sound is grungy, but the energy is pure and true. Watch it in HD. Direct from Dangerous Minds to you:
