In addition to our B.B.C 6 phone interview with Tom Robinson during SXSW (save b.b.c 6! I would buy it but I only have about 8 quid) we have been played on Austin radio Kut, on Audrey Morton's show after wooing her with our gig at French Legation. Wooooooooooo we all said throughout the gig.
Audrey plays everything from Midlake to Arthur Russel, which floats my boat quite nicely...
We've also been included in Shannon Sauter's best of SXSW podcast for Seattle radio station KEXP. Really enjoying one of their shows right now in fact, have a listen...
Here's a little review of our showcase from San Francisco Weekly at Friends, which was helped a lot by some general crowd derangement and percussion in the streets...
On another note, Anise from Off the Radio claims to have listened to Vuitton Blues 325 times...if you read this Anise, I think that deserves a signed copy...
ps... among my favourite bands of SXSW were Wild Moccasins, but then I made a point of not going to see the "buzz" bands because I don't really like gigs where you can't move. I also really wanted to catch Warpaint....
Warpaint...
The Invisible - ofcourse!

.... and there's definitely more which I'll post later!
