Pre-show Chat with Pretty & Nice
I was recently hanging out with Pretty & Nice before their show at Flicker Bar in Athens, GA. And because I love you guys, I recorded our conversation. Go ahead and listen to us talk about their current album, their awesome merch, and their future plans. And then go ahead and listen to their newest…
On the Lawn with pacificUV
We met up with pacificUV before their show at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA. Looking for a quiet place to interview, we ended up crashing the lawn of a frat house to talk about their new album, The Album Leaf remix, and upcoming tour. Enjoy!
In the Dark with Ryan Graveface
So I saw The Casket Girls at South by Southwest, and I kicked myself for not getting into them beforehand so that I could interview them there (dudes, you should see this band live. It’s quite an experience). Lucky for me, it wasn’t even two months later that they showed up in Athens to play…
Backstage with Deadstring Brothers
Listen up. I got to hang backstage with Nashville-by-way-of-Detroit-based Deadstring Brothers at their show at the 40 Watt, and now you get to listen in and pretend you were there. They’ve been compared to 70’s-era Rolling Stones. They have been called a country band. They’ve been called a blues band. Whatever they are – I’d…
SXSW with Hunters
Hunters was my last interview at SXSW, and I have to say, I couldn’t have asked for a better one. Because it was the last day after a long week of running around frantically like a headless chicken, I was feeling a little fried, and forming full coherent sentences was getting a little complicated (more…
SXSW with PEACE
You’ve probably heard of PEACE by now. This British quartet are making serious waves in the music world, and we can’t get enough of them. They’ve been called the future of indie rock – although, as you’ll see in this interview, they don’t consider themselves to be “indie.” Either way, they are “the future of…
SXSW with The Staves
You can’t not love The Staves. As someone who is prone to more than my share of girl crushes (I’m talking about you, Sarah Balliet, Alice Glass, Carrie Brownstein, Missy Gilbert…), I gotta say…these ladies are awesome. The Staves gained popularity in the US through their tours with The Civil Wars and Bon Iver, and…
SXSW with Parenthetical Girls
On day three of SXSW, I was privileged (yes…Privilege-d…get it?) to be able to meet with Zac Pennington from Parenthetical Girls. Play on words, yes, but no less a true statement. Parenthetical Girls are an experimental-pop group from Oregon who have an eclectic style and dabble in everything from orchestral to electronic elements. After running…
SXSW with Murder By Death
I have serious fangirl love for Murder by Death. I jumped on the bandwagon a little late after discovering them when they opened for Say Anything at the 40 Watt Club last year. Since then, I’ve procured all of their albums, mildly YouTube-stalked them, and – now – gotten the chance to interview guitarist/vocalist Adam…
SXSW with Sirah
Grammy Award-winning Sirah describes herself on her Twitter as a “part time rapper, but a full time friend”, and after meeting with her during SXSW, I couldn’t agree more. Sirah is one of those rare breeds- you know, the kind that will schedule an interview with you and then invite you to eat cheeseburgers at…
