Don’t hold your breath hoping that Demolished Thoughts will ever record or even play another live show, despite their being one of the more entertaining acts at SXSW. On paper, it sounds like a joke: Thurston Moore, J Mascis, Andrew WK and other alt-rock celebs do covers of obscure 80s hardcore songs. Basically, the punk rock version of a cheesy supergroup jam band.

Andrew WK didn’t actually make it to any of the gigs – he was replaced at the last minute by Fucked Up’s Jonah Falco on bass – and Moore read lyrics off a handful of crumpled papers, yet somehow this half-baked concept worked. They were having so much fun not taking themselves seriously that we couldn’t resist getting caught up in it.
