It looks like Joe and I are attending SxSW Interactive and Music to do some networking for Volette. Here is a list of the bands I’m going to make a point to see (more as a reminder list to myself than anything else):
Alabama3 Billy Bragg (woot!) El-P The English Beat Jolie Holland (whom I saw and met at SxSW 2004) The Indelicates Daniel Lanois Eleni Mandell (love!) Johnette Napolitano Okkervil River Robyn (Konichiwa, bitches!) Romance Fantasy (Vegas band) The Slits Summerbirds in the Cellar White Rabbits Saul Williams Working For A Nuclear Free City
BFC should have tried to get a gig there.
I love Okkervil River and I adore Jolie Holland! Have Fun!
Alabama 3 are great. Their manager knows my family so they actually came over to Ireland to play at my Aunts wedding just after the New Year, and stayed around and jammed in the bars around Connemara, where my aunt is from for 3 days afterwards. Really nice people as well. Say hello if you get a chance.
Cheers
so did you see Jolie Holland at the 2008 SXSW?
