Hey, that’s one of those Daytrotter illustrations of the promo photo that Staciaann took for Peter Wolf Crier last summer. That’s pretty awesome. Also awesome is the PWC Daytrotter session itself, recorded down in Austin last month when Peter Pisano and Brian Moen played the Rachel Ray/Daytrotter Day Party at Stubb’s BBQ.

In the nine years since Joe Denardo and Kevin Doria decamped from Olympia, Washington to Brooklyn, the band known as Growing hasn’t really stopped doing just that.

There was a special kind of tag-team energy at the Fitzgerald Theatre last night, with songsmiths Loudon Wainwright III and Fairport Convention founder Richard Thompson, long-time friends and collaborators on their first tour together, bouncing off eachother and generally delighting the crowd.

In 2008 I went to SXSW with a full on schedule in mind. One of those things was to see this band called Frightened Rabbit from Scotland. At that time I was forced to admit to myself that I had a problem. Every time I liked a new band, they were from Scotland. There’s something [...]

From the official SXSW Tv channel… Peter Wolf Crier kicks some major ass. CAS & I were right up front for the action, so look for his flailing curly head & my bobbing one. Also, I love this one. You can see more on the SXSW channel here.

Less than 24 hours before we get on a plane and get ourselves down to Austin; believe me, we’ve been counting down the hours. But, ’til then, here are the rest of the Spinner.com interviews. You can tell they were getting to the end of assignments with the run of WXY here (I almost got [...]
