Lingering Doubts - Spiderhouse, SXSW, Austin TX - March 16, 2011


[from New York, NY] skinny white man on an acoustic guitar with a butter voice – accompanied by an electric bass, tombone, drums, and sometimes a sax - but then he was more soulful angsty as was the music – and then they were a band for children (“I don’t want to go to the candy store anymore”), sure, it was about how at least he’s addicted to candy instead of auto asphyxiation, etc., but as far as the me and the kids in the audience were concerned, they were one of those bands musicheads go to once they have kids and can’t stay out late – the two really little boys at the next table to me were loving it – the one who was about 5 was all rapt attention and shiny eyes, obviously in total agreement about the lure of candy stores – the other one, maybe 8, was practicing piano scales with his fingers on the table – Rockboy liked this band a lot more than I did, but they were high quality and diverse at least
