The Damnwells: new CD, interview, SXSW plans

Chip Midnight — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 12:05:36 +0000

It’s a big day for The Damnwells. At 9 a.m., the band will release it’s third full-length CD, One Last Century, exclusively through Paste Magazine’s website. Fans of the band’s first two releases will want to download the new CD for tracks like “55 Pictures”, “Bastards of Midnight” and “Down with the Ship” while those who just recently discovered the band due to their inclusion on the Chaos Theory soundtrack will undoubtedly fall in love with “Jesus Could Be Right”, “Closer”, and “WWXII”.

My personal favorite is “Like It Is”, which Alex first debuted in a YouTube video accompanied by his wife Angela on backing vocals. As you listen to it, just imagine the Dixie Chicks providing backing vocals, banjo, and violin.

MP3: “Like It Is”

On the eve of the virtual release, I gave Alex a call at his (temporary) home in Iowa where he is attending The University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop. The following is our close-to-40-minute conversation.

MP3: Interview with Alex Dezen

And in SXSW news, Alex revealed that The Damnwells will play an unofficial day party hosted by September Gurl, Organic Entertainment, and Ripple Entertainment on March 18 at Threadgills (South Store). More info as we get it.

Now get to downloading One Last Century. (available after 9 a.m.)

Aussie BBQ @ SXSW (we’ve got the details)

Chip Midnight — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:40:29 +0000

Looking like another great year for the Aussie BBQ. This party is open to SXSW badgeholders (entry subject to capacity).

I’ll have to do some homework before heading to Austin as the only two names that I’m familiar with are Youth Group and Gabriella Cilmi, who could be one of the hits of SXSW 2009 if her live show lives up to her recorded material.

THE AUSSIE BBQ 2009 at SxSW
12.00 noon – 7.30pm
Friday 20th March 2009
Brush Square Park, Austin Texas
(opposite the Austin Convention Centre)

featuring 12 acts:
The Drones
Youth Group
Gabriella Cilmi
The Grates
Birds of Tokyo
Josh Pyke
Temper Trap
My Disco
Infusion
The Fumes
The Boat People
The Red Riders
