It was a bit of a risk to debut the Get Busy Committee live show at SXSW 2010 but despite lost luggage, lost reservations, long drives in a white Ford Flex on no sleep, small hotel rooms, and a broken turntable the shows have been PERFECT. Get Busy Committee packed The Velveeta Room at 6th and Red River on Thursday night and it WENT OFF. Big ups to the super fan in the GBC shirt who arrived at 7:01pm for the 11pm show and to everyone who danced their asses off and sang along. We couldn’t have asked for any more from the debut.

Thanks also to Mike Relm for tech support. Get Busy Committee has put together a video extravaganza to go along with the live show and Mike helped make sure it was all set up correctly before the show started. THANKS MIKE.

The DubFrequency.com party at Malverde yesterday was good, too. Short set, no video, but the Get Busy Committee came through as the real enemies of boring, take-yourself-too-seriously hip hop. Apathy started out guns blazin with an acapella then straight into My Little Razorblade, Chillin Out Maxin, Say What?! and ended with a surprise show-stopper Diamonds In Your Eyes.

If you’re in Austin today you have two more chances to see Get Busy Committee:

* The House Fire, The Firehouse Lounge, 605 Brazos, between 9 and 10pm
* Respect The West, Club De Ville, 900 Red River, 11pm

Come on through!
