The Untitled Interview #101 – SXSW Edition: Starring Eric Lodwick (BRAHMS)

The days are getting longer, the nights are getting shorter and sweeter, and that, my little vixens, can only mean one thing: it's getting close to being almost time for the one and only SXSW. And of course, that means I had to ask some questions of the bands I'd sure want to see if I was heading down to Austin for the 25th annual SXSW-stravaganza.

Oh sweet mercy, y’all. There’s something oh so foxy about this here BRAHMS. Listening to them is totally taking me back to those synth-worshipping, ever-so almost goth-tinged British dudes with a penchant for eyeliner and precocious pouting (see: Depeche Mode, Gary Numan). It’s icy, it’s glossy, and it’s addictive. Make sure to see what Eric Lodwick thinks of SXSW goings-on, and then check out one of their multitude of sets (yeah, they ended up with more than just one).
