Good meeting you at SXSW. I kept seeing you on Friday. Thought Band of Heathens were great. I picked up their CD from Harley - oddly, the second Harley I met there. I'll be in touch soon.

One or two I'm not aware of but I was very impressed with the Hacienda Brothers when they played here in Tucson a couple years back. I think they once lived here. Tough there are a few on the list I'm not familiar with. I wish IO could go Over the Rhine's train journey in the fall, but it's out of my price range. I will be in Santa Fe in the fall, stopping to see friends there on my way to the Clovis Music Festival.
