Bleached - Scoot Inn, SXSW, Austin TX - March 14, 2013


[LA] I stay the same age, they get older (a personal problem for sure)… and this generation is the skinniest tiniest generation yet, including the boys – I think I stepped on one hipster by mistake… and the smell of pot wafted in the air by the time Austin was in view and the smell of American Spirits was wafting at Scoot Inn. I was kind of wondering why I’d starred this band. They were good but they weren’t remarkable. Kind of a psychier The Donnas. 60s rehash. And then The Song came on. I never notice/love a song after only two listens but I did their song and so they got a star, and they deserve it. I did really really like the looks of this band. First off, three females. There was a goth Zooey Deschanel with hipster neon sunglasses. The lead singer was a punky Drew Barrymore – she gave kind of an ironic intro to the band – then there were sound issues and they had to restart – she gave the exact same ironic intro but unironically – it was funny, unintentionally. The male drummer was a hot guy who’s probably a hot mess – with his wavy faux hawk and tattooed neck. And the third girl looked so hot and flushed in her sweater I thought she was going to pass out. “Think of You” is the song you must listen to.
