Three Imaginary Girls, The Stranger, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Neumo's are proud to present Hootenanny! -- our very own SXSW sendoff party for 2010 -- with Visqueen, Hey Marseilles, Mash Hall (formerly known as They Live!), and Fences on Friday, March 5th at Neumo's.
It's that time of year again, kids -- where we all steel ourselves for some couchsurfing, and start making our wishlists for the bands we can't miss -- yes, it's time to head down to Austin for SXSW 2010! And to celebrate, we'd love for you to join our sendoff party at Neumo's on Friday, March 5th. Come join us as we wish our favorite ladies and gents well before they hit the road... tickets for this 21+ show are only $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
Expect a downright rager of a night, with local big-guitar all-stars Visqueen headlining the bill, and Hey Marseilles bringing their lush, alt.indie.orchestral songwriting skills to the stage. On top of that magic, Mash Hall and everyone's favorite Fences will be rounding out the opening support -- doors are at 8pm and you won't want to miss a minute of this lineup. So make sure you're on the hill nice and early!

Erik G is a pretty calm guy, but when he watches this video of two of his favorite people --Kate Nash and Billy Bragg-- duet the song "A New England" he's going to FLIP!
Latest comment by: Erik Gonzalez: "Billy's new one, Mr. Love & Justice is due out on April 22nd (in the US at least). I haven't heard much of it yet, but I am excited."
I'm back in Seattle from a lovely and action packed five days in Austin. Here's a video of one of the most blissful moments of the whole fest: the last song of the last SXSW show I saw--Matt & Kim in the 1a Saturday slot.
I think it aptly reveals the serious gaiety of the night/fest/show/week.

She's getting ready to play "Cannonball."
Latest comment by: imaginary ash: "You know Liz, I googled for an image of a sweater similar to the one that Ms. Deal was wearing, and I did see that one, but hers was way less noisy. It just had a few little space invader dudes, as I recall. Very stylish and classy, as you'd expect a Deal to ...
