What do like most about playing at SXSW?
It seems so chaotic and impossible to manage, but somehow friends show up at all the shows, and we find a way to go to all of theirs. You can see people perform in unlikely places, wearing no shoes (we would never!) and sunglasses. We like keeping it simple and chasing our friends around.

What do like most about playing at SXSW?
Free beer! No, seriously... Almost all the world is in one (warm and sunshiny) place for one week, so you inevitably run into 50 people you haven't seen in a year (or more), 30 people you've never met in person but have emailed or chatted with on the phone, and have made at least 10 new friends by the week's end. The world is so small and inter-connected anyway. And SXSW really intensifies that fact. All the great music and delicious Mexican food is just a bonus.
