My old roommate down there in Richmond was an amazing resource for music. She was into totally obscure shit that nobody I know had ever heard of, and she was also big into bands from New Zealand (which, with a few exceptions was also a region that was pretty obscure to me). One CD she let me borrow had some songs on it by a band called Surf City. Given Chelsea's proclivity towards older bands, I figured they were some long disbanded band from the early 80s. But lo and behold, I was wrong. The fantastic, surf pop meets vintage Kiwi rock that made me so happy was in fact made by a band that's actually together at this very moment in time. And these bitchin boys will be winning over the folks down in Austin in no time flat, I predict. Thankfully, they're also spreading their love all around the US this Spring, and believe me when I say you most definitely absolutely positively without question should go and see them. Drummer Logan Collins gives us the details on his plans for SXSW.
Les Enfants Terribles: How are you getting to SXSW: plane, train, or automobile?
Logan Collins: Well we are coming from LA so we will be flying.
LET: Inevitably, you will forget to pack:
LC: Towels, flannel, soap, extra socks and undies.
LET: How many showcases/parties will you be playing?
LC: We are playing 6 shows I think anyway.
LET: Band you're most looking forward to seeing at the festival?
LC: Acid Mothers Temple should be good.
LET: What's the first thing you plan on doing upon arrival in Austin?
LC: Finding somewhere to stay and eating some BBQ ribs.
LET: What was the first festival you ever attended, either as a musician or member of the general public?
LC: Christian camp was cool but then I went to Big Day Out and that was rad.
LET: Favorite thing about festivals?
LC: Well the music is cool.
