Holy F--k! AutoVaughn Are Playing Rachael Ray's SXSW Party!
By Sean Maloney At 12:31pm Feb 28, 2008

That's right, local alt-rockers AutoVaughn and nominees for the "greatest band name ever," Holy Fuck, are playing the indie-licious SXSW throwdown hosted by Rachael Ray! Whose spoon did they have to lick to get that gig?!? As an ex-line cook, day-time talk enthusiast and red-blooded American male, I have to say that I am damn, damn jealous. There are so many bad food/sex puns running around in my head that I can barely see straight.
On a somewhat related note, do you think she'll bring meatloaf patties with bacon gravy and peas to the green room? That would be so much cooler than cheap pizza and cheez-in-a-can. Mmmm, bacon gravy....

let's see....being near rachel ray or having to listen to autovaughn with rachel ray in the room... i choose death. Posted 02/28/2008 at 14:30:59 pm
Anthony Bourdain is the man. Hey Sean, HE never quit smoking. Posted 02/28/2008 at 17:26:10 pm
No one mentioned tex mex being good. Rachel Ray can cook some things, but so can a lot of people. Pick one of them to host 37 shows. Someone who isn't so annoying. I just don't understand why. Posted 03/02/2008 at 23:25:50 pm
She'll give them the Food Network love they deserve I'm sure. Posted 02/29/2008 at 18:22:38 pm
Definitley strange! But cool that another great nashville band is breaking out. Nashville taking over ya'll. Posted 03/01/2008 at 14:45:53 pm
oh sorry. i guess the usual tex/mex/bbq sxsw food is SO amazing. my mistake... autovaughn has a new music video on their myspace. it's weird. Posted 02/29/2008 at 14:10:36 pm
Hey folks. AutoVaughn just uploaded 3 new tracks on myspace if you want to hear the first NEW music since 2006. "Inertia", "The Cycles" and "Missing Something" are all streaming. Posted 03/05/2008 at 10:21:36 am
call me when when padma lakshmi hosts a SXSW party. seriously. please call me. Posted 02/28/2008 at 16:02:14 pm
Alton Brown is the man. Also, Tyler Florence in his pre-Applebee's, Food 911 days—HOT! Posted 02/28/2008 at 14:21:00 pm
Holy Fuck don't sound quite tuff enough to be called Holy Fuck. Posted 02/28/2008 at 14:19:37 pm
are you fing kidding me? this in itself should discount sxsw. Posted 03/04/2008 at 00:01:27 am
That may not be her body, but those are most certainly her man-hands. Posted 02/29/2008 at 12:22:01 pm
Giada is gorgeous. Also, the Naked Chef has an awesome show. And finally, Rachel Ray at SXSW is just weird. Posted 03/01/2008 at 12:33:51 pm
at least you can count on me being at this party. Posted 02/28/2008 at 16:13:23 pm
You think Rachael will slather the AutoVaughn kids in EVOO after the showcase? Posted 02/29/2008 at 17:40:36 pm
you're not going to sxsw? Posted 02/28/2008 at 16:19:07 pm
ok first off, that may be rachel rays face, but that IS NOT her body... i mean, the gal is a bit chunky. And if i had any misgivings about not going to sxsw, there are over now. I don't even want to be in the same city as that woman! I really just can't stand the sight of her, or even her very very very very very VERY annoying voice! ( and lets not even get into her boring recipes) now, if it were alton brown hosting a party, i would be there! ooo or anthony bourdain! Posted 02/28/2008 at 14:14:58 pm
Actually he did... have you not seen the new season of no reservations? Posted 02/29/2008 at 00:28:45 am
no, at least you can count on ME being at this party. and i'll be bringing with the most annoying catchphrases on earth and some ritz crackers. Posted 02/29/2008 at 13:38:22 pm
