This past week at SXSW in Austin has been one of the craziest of all time. Which is why this Juice post is a bit late. Not only have I had a spectacular time with all the Israeli bands, but seeing some of my faves here in America as well!
First day of the festival was insane. Onili had 3 gigs in one day. The first was at Purevolume where we really got into the SXSW vibe, meeting tons of other artists and people. Despite having electricity issues (which would continue this entire tour to follow) You all have no idea how hard it is to convert voltage of these electrical instruments!!!! We have almost caused 4 fires at this point.

Onili played two gigs as her usual set with Barak Kram and was also featured along with Soulico during their two sets. Both she and Ori Shochat even got to spin together at Bill Murray’s party! This was extremely exciting for Shochat, as Bill Murray is his all time favorite celebrity.

Nili played Austin’s Club 115 and the show went really well. I even got to meet other Bloom Blogger…Miz Metro!

It was really nice to be in Austin with other fellow Israelis, like my Soulico boys. Here’s some more highlights from the rest of the festival:

We had one day in Austin to relax, catch up on sleep, and eat pasta cooked by our gracious Italian host before we flew back to my homespot, Philly!!!!
I’ll do the Philly update from last night in a few days. We just arrived in NYC today and I need a bit of time to upload photos and process the madness that was just last night. Today, Onili has an appearance at Best Buy at 5pm! That’s in a few hours!!!!! Come out!
Tomorrow, she plays at Nublu at MIDNIGHT! EVENT INFO HERE!
But before I leave you…news from the Middle East. Back in Tel Aviv, Ortega has released his latest track off the new project, “Dead Moments” Check out the video below!
