Bassists and drummers always seem to get the short end of the stick. Well maybe not drummers (everyone knows they get all the girls) but, broadly speaking, they aren’t front and center when performing live which puts them at somewhat of a disadvantage. We have never taken Steve or Larry for…
There was some article in the Houston Press today about Pink Floyd and Kiss’ dance with disco where the basic thesis was that Kiss experiment failed because they didn’t sound like themselves while Pink Floyd still sounded like Pink Floyd. That’s neither here nor there but it reminds me of…
SXSW is now over and with that – barring some super awesome show we can’t turn down – we’ll be taking a break from playing live. We’ll be spending less time posting here as a result because we really do have a lot of stuff to work on and prefer to…
I know a lot of people bitch about SXSW. “It’s too hipster! It’s too commercial! It’s too much work! Austin sucks! The People suck!” Blah Blah Blah! I say FIE unto ye naysayers! Look, I ain’t saying that there isn’t stuff to bitch about and all that but if you…
We’re still recovering from SXSW so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for our recap. In the meantime, you can catch the LP4 on Brazil’s Electric Lounge. The lounge’s Scott de Souza-Sroka took some time to talk with us a few days before we hit SXSW and we really appreciate him…
Crikey! SXSW is all about a million good things happening at one time. As it happens, some of our best buds, ST37, are playing SXSW after all (we missed them in the prior SXSW post) and not only are they playing the festival but they are playing with My Education,…

I’m about to head out to do some hiking at Enchanted Rock here in the Texas Hill Country but I wanted to post up on some other good folks playing SXSW this year while I have my morning coffee. Now, for some odd reason, it’s a little tricky to figure…
Holy crap, it’s only seven days until we hit SXSW 2013 and we’re running around left and right prepping for it. SXSW is always a huge challenge and this year is no different. The stage manager has been really phenomenal to work with and, make no doubt about it, with…
Jeez it’s only two weeks until our spaceship touches down at SXSW!!! Wild, huh? We tried to contact Ralph McQuarrie to do some concept art but the dude died almost one year ago. I shit you not! McQuarrie died last year! Doesn’t that bum you out? Dude, I still have the old…
