TEEN

Art-pop act TEEN was one of the surprises i came across during my week of drinking and music.  At times the girl group (three sisters and a friend) recalls elements of Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Bush, or even The Bangles.  It's an enjoyable, dreamy, and trippy ride.  Listen to "Carolina" below from the upcoming EP of the same name due in May from Carpark.

Alright SXSW, it's been real, but the demands of a healthy (ish) digestive system require me to take my leave.  I'll let the good folks over at Brooklyn Vegan play us off (that is unless i get the energy to go back out again tonight to catch The Coathangers or Death Grips).  Until we meet again.

 And we're off.  I drank too much today.  Free beer + hanging out with one of my oldest friends in the world generally gets us both in trouble.  We did manage to catch some great music though, courtesy of Consequence of Sound.  Check out the pics below.

 In the evening, we caught a little bit of a different show that was supposed to include a performance from Jandek, but he cancelled last minute, which made me a sad panda.  The synth-goth of Troller made up for it though.
