Well. South by Southwest always causes a few new bands to pop up on my radar, and I can't help peeking when someone is from my old home town (at least they claim it) of Durham (rhymes with worm), North Carolina. The little town that has it all, you just have to know. So. Delta Rae. Not my usual cup of tea, and I'm slow to warm to some of the songs. But. There is some voodoo going on here, the holy shit factor. Excitement. Of course it turns out its major label, and that is their story on their own sites. Whatever. Brittany Hölljes is one of those singers. Of course, there's a sexy factor, and I know I'm not immune to that. But, if only I hear the voice, without the pictures, its still EXCITING. In real life you get both. Check this out...
No? OK Try this -
That's at least half as cool as Trailerbride, and I'd love to see these guys and the Alabama Shakes on a bill.
This is the busy time of year. Or was that last month? All I know is I look at the calendar and its like looking at the begats section of Matthew (or was it Luke?) In other words its full man. I'm tired and I don't really have a break until July. Oh woe is me. Only one thing for it - Dan Reeder. You may have heard the song on Weeds.
Farfetcher is the solo project of guitar / lap steel / dobro player Julian!. Recorded in living rooms, basements, parks and abandoned buildings, Farfetcher's music is an oddball collection of rock, pop, and country tchotchkes. Julian hopes there's a cross-stitch worthy lyric in there somewhere
