Hey, everyone! I'm dying to give you a report on the weekend of Central Texas shows, but SXSW waits for no (wo)man, so I'll have to promise you a big fat recap next week. In the meantime, I hope you're resting up and taking your vitamins (and naps!) -- the madness begins in just two days!

WORD TO THE WISE: The festival is not like normal bar/rock life. When they say we start at a certain time, we will. Get there a little early, or at least on time, or you will miss us. (And you don't want to do that -- response to the songs we've debuted at recent shows has been awesome!)

These are all free, no-wristband-needed shows (the best kind!), they're going to be a ton of fun -- and you never know who'll be there. For instance, the head music writer for the Chicago Reader was at our unofficial showcase at Trophy's last year and I didn't even know it until he contacted us to write a killer recommendation for our Chicago tour stop three months later. You just never know! Anyway, I hope those of you who are in Austin for the fest will come support us at one or more of the following:

*** WEDNESDAY, 3/14 @ Nunos on 6th ... 7 PM sharp! Come drink and rock with us before you start waiting in all those lame wristband lines. This is one of those free, record label-related events where we want your support to show all those jaded industry folks that rock and roll can still be fun. A Virgin Records rep is supposed to be evaluating all the bands.

*** WEDNESDAY, 3/14 @ Trophy's ... That's right! Two shows in one night! That's SXSW for ya. For the third year in a row, we kick off the madness at our beloved Trophy's w/ our friends in killer bands like Just Guns and The Unbearables. Be there! No wristband needed.

*** SATURDAY, 3/17 @ Creekside Lounge ... 3:30 PM set on the last day of SXSW, so come rock out a little more before you collapse ... Creekside is a great new Red River area bar, and you should check it out if you haven't already.

SEE Y'ALL ON WEDNESDAY!

LOVE & ROCK,
Erin (and Adam and Kristen)
