I ventured down to my home state of Texas for my first ever, embarrassingly so, SXSW experience, and it took the lure of Andy Warhol&amp;#039;s famously-hip Factory to get me there. CJ Vinson and Lauren Bucherie, the game-changing duo behind Austin&amp;#039;s taste-making musical showcases The Sessions, were looking for a creative space during the SXSW mayhem to capture what was sure to be an entertaining influx of the menagerie of characters the film and music industries attract. &amp;quot;We wanted to create an atmosphere that would allow these worlds to collide, while capturing it all on camera, and Warhol did it right,&amp;quot; says Bucherie. &amp;quot;We knew that amazing talent was going to be coming through Austin and our goal was to get them all under one roof.&amp;quot; Turning a bare-bones loft on the Eastside (which is quickly becoming the city&amp;#039;s own bustling little Brooklyn) into an artist&amp;#039;s playground \u2014 including a loft for late night photo sessions with Holly Bronko (pictured above), a dress-up station with racks of modish/bohemian garb from GypsySun Vintage, and plenty of iconic Factory decor, plus an endless supply of the local hooch, Deep Eddy Sweet Tea Vodka \u2014 magic was destined to ensue. &amp;quot;I will never forget getting to slow dance to The Civil Wars&amp;#039; cover of Leonard Cohen&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Dance Me to the End of Love,&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Bucherie told us of the three-day experience, where bands including The Jezebels, Fitz and the Tantrums and Barcelona stopped in for private sets. &amp;quot;We also loved getting to know the girls of Uh Huh Her. They&amp;#039;re going to have a huge year.&amp;quot; Check out The Sessions&amp;#039; first clip from The Factory, an exclusive post-show video featuring an acoustic version of The Civil Wars&amp;#039; &amp;quot;20 Years,&amp;quot; below and check back at TheSessions.com weekly for new videos and more behind-the-scenes photos.
