SXSW Field Report: Fol Chen

[Hey Classical Geek Thespians, another tardily-posted SXSW field report an account of me. ~Mouse]


Since I couldn't go to SXSW this year I invited a handful of bands to submit "field reports" of their SXSW experience. This one comes from LA experimental popsters Fol Chen.



"Dear Classical Geek Theatre:

"Attached please find a photograph of Phat Jeph enjoying a free manicure after the Fol Chen show at the Beauty Bar in Austin, Texas on Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Melissa Thorne also received a manicure that night, but no photographic evidence remains. Please take my word on it.

"That was our second show of the day. Our first show was the Terrorbird/Forcefield party at Red 7, at which I think we scared some people with our new outfits (and by "scared" I mean "convinced them that we are morons"). Here is some video of us performing "No Wedding Cake," shot by Avtar of Ladies and Gents (who also stars in our "Cable TV" video with her boyfriend, Chris).




Yours truly,
Samuel Bing
Fol Chen"
