One of the best sets I saw at SXSW this year was from Mayyors. No, they don't have a website or MySpace account.
Even so, this elusive Sacramento, Calif. supersonic spaz-punk quartet laid figurative waste to Spiro's in a manner that reminded me of when that space housed the Cavity in the early 90s. It was as if a hundred sun-warped hardcore singles were playing simultaneously at 78rpm on a shitty (but unimaginably loud) transistor radio. This was music you felt in your bones.
I reviewed Mayyors' take-no-prisoners squall here, but you can actually hear it for yourself at WFMU's Beware of the Blog.

Greg- your review is totally on the mark! I wasn't able to catch the Mayyors official SXSW showcase, but did see them at Sound on Sound and later the same day in a kitchen on the East side. They were practically sitting on the stove- it was Genius!
