Hollerado may be one of the most outright fun rock and roll bands out there. My first time seeing them, when they opened for Free Energy at the 400 Bar the mix of fun-times rock flavors was so awesome that the 400 Bar almost collapsed in on itself. See my dusty old photos with Leslie Kruempel’s great review) at the TC Daily Planet – it was awesome. When fellow MSP photographer Stacy Schwartz told me they were playing a bunch of shows at SXSW (some of which she shot very well) I knew I had to make it to at least one.

I’m so damn glad I did. Hit the jump to see why.
