Courtney Love sticks to old hits at Hilton’s bash
South by Southwest has been known to forge the careers of many bands from obscurity to success, but the festival is also known for bringing back old musical favorites. At this year’s SXSW Music Festival, Courtney Love recreated the band that made her famous, Hole. On Saturday night, Love headlined the Perez Hilton party, where a mixture of young and old fans gathered to take in some of her familiar tunes. Many of the attendees were anxious to see the dramatic star in action, and she did not disappoint. Instead of yelling at the crowd or rushing off stage, as Love had been known to do in the past, she relied solely on her music to make a statement. In 30 minutes, Love rocked many of Hole’s classic tunes from “Miss World” to “Doll Parts,” while still giving the crowd a taste of some new music to come. If the show proved anything to her detractors, it showed that Love still knows how to rock.
