Boy, have we got some juicy news for our faithful blog readers… yes all 3 of you.
If you haven’t already heard the exciting news – like those who made it to the Paddo gig – Nathan has just been formally invited to play at South by Southwest 2010, in Austin Texas. For the uninitiated, SXSW is one of the world’s biggest music festivals showcasing hundreds of acts from around the world over 80 stages in downtown Austin. It’s even more special considering that only roughly 20 per cent of the acts playing at the festival are from outside of the US.
Other already announced showcasing bands from WA include Karnivool and The Chevelles, and from the east coast Paul Dempsey, Dappled Cities and Darren Hanlon. More to be announced soon.
Those of us who were down at the Paddington Alehouse last Sunday got to witness for themselves what Austin is in for next March. Talk about a rockin set – and not an acoustic guitar in sight (apart from one song with the 12-string – a Dylan-esque move perhaps?)
