TIME Magazine Top Ten of SXSW

Wow, TIME magazine voted us one of the top 10 bands of SXSW this year! Here's their review.

..and here's the full list.

BEST LIVE BAND of SXSW 2011 and other Good Reviews

They say you shouldn't read reviews but hey sometimes a good one does improve my mood... especially for us bass players who don't always get noticed:

Spin voted us "Best Live Band" of SXSW 2011.

And IFC mentions "the precise and brooding bass of Jeremy Kay". Read the full review here.

Not bad!

Just. Met. Eric. Clapton.

Yup. Chatted with Eric Clapton. I'll admit to being seriously starstruck.

Location:San Antonia, TX

Tall Drink of Water

"And I love her bass player, Jeremy Kay. The tall bearded drink of water playing the sunburst Fender. You subtly stole my heart sir, with your flowing locks, vintage 4 string, and soul plucking sensibilities. Particularly in You Are the Devil, which sounds like a Quentin Tarantino Kung Fu showdown scene when played live. The bass line is plucky as hell and has a great audible tone that is the opposite of muddy. Oh Mr. Kay, you do good work."
