We returned to Austin via night drive. Matt had his coffee. He went from song to song in a pure, decisive rhythm, like he knew what song to cue in thirty songs from the present one. Meanwhile, Brett and I flipped in and out of consciousness. We had to get back that night to do an interview. We've named our home the Parrot House and we did the Q&A on the front porch.
That Friday night we had an Austin show at the Mohawk. That was a good time. Big crowd. Tons of babes. Free beer? Great. That only get's you so far. I don't think we have any pictures from that.
South By Southwestern was Saturday night. The stage was a bit bumpy and the room was a deadened space for sound, but The Bright Light Social Hour, The Brood, and yours truly did the alma mater proud.
No one reading this should miss The Bright Light Social Hour cd release on the 13th. Brett made some comment to Jack (bassist vocalist of Bright Light) about "What if there were a Newman sister?"Of course, he didn't use proper grammar. He probably used was instead of were. Got him! Jack said she'd probably be really hot. Is it safe for me to take that as a compliment. Even though I don't have a sister, if I were to have one, Jack would be interested in sleeping with her. I took it as one. Hell yeah, my hypothetical sister would smokin'. Or maybe she'd look like me, in which case her only option would be day labor.
Then again, what would Jack
not have sex with? Just kidding, he isn't like that. But really, watch out girls. The Bright Light Social Hour is a sexed up mess. They beat us to the punch.
Oh yeah, don't miss that show. It's Wednesday, May 13th @ The ParishThe Bright Light Social Hour, "Back and Forth" video. (Should be up soon)
