SXSW Nuts || February 19, 2007

Gotta love this fest day-party poster, right? The Theater Fire is a perfect fit for this collection of freak-country-folkers (an adjective that isn't totally fitting, really, but there's a three-hyphen limit). Castanets have the shameful privilege of being the only band to ever spend the night at DdHQ (and play Guitar Hero there, no less), while Peter & The Wolf and Weird Weeds should draw plenty of curious on-lookers.

But the lineup doesn't intrigue us as much as the Asthmatic Kitty tag...does this mean TTF has an official connection with one of our favorite national labels? "I think Asthmatic Kitty's interested in the quirky, experimental Texas folk scene going on right now," TTF's Curtis Glenn Heath says via e-mail. "But, beyond throwing some cool SXSW showcases, their willingness to throw money at any of us to put out an album is yet to be determined. (We're gonna play our asses off just in case.)" Best o' luck. -SM
