Yes! We've been invited to perform at the legendary South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) in Austin / Texas this March. It was unbelievable 10 years ago when we last played there with ... listen ... 23 people on stage.
If you've never heard of this festival, look it up, find out about it, or simply GO there! If you do come, we'll be playing on March 13th at Momo's on 6th street. Along the way we're looking forward to performing in Lafayette / Louisiana and on the Mountain Stage in west Virginia. Amerika wir kommen!
We just found out, that we have been nominated for the "Best Club Act" award ... if you want to know more, have a look here!
This is what the GUARDIAN, the INDEPENDENT and the OBSERVER have to say about it. [Label: hipster-records / distribution: proper music]
