From TVD Austin’s Mike Harrell:
First on my plate for SXSW picks, is Austin power-pop punkers Literature. These guys know how to write a damn good catchy tune and also create a brilliant video. Don’t believe me? Watch the “It’s Cruel” video below and see for yourself.
They kickoff a dandy little showcase at Easy Tiger Patio on Friday the 18th at 8pm. This showcase also features Gentleman Jesse and His Men, The High Dials, Guards, Revolver, and Young Adults. They’ll be playing plenty of day shows as well so you’ll have quite a few opportunities to catch them at SXSW ’11.
In the meantime, check out Literature along with Simple Circuit, The Zoltars, Bottle Service, Sally Crewe & the Sudden Moves, and The French Inhales at Beerland this Thursday for the first of three nights celebrating the release of Casual Victim Pile II. We will have more coverage of CVP II later this week.
The “Cincinnati” 7” is available at various local record stores around town. Pick it up. You will not be disappointed.
