Well it’s about that time of year- the time everyone starts schlepping off to Austin for SXSW. I’ve never gone, and truthfully the idea of that many people combined with that much alcohol (in TEXAS no less!) sounds hellacious. But if I was going, I would definitely make sure to see Explode Into Colors, because they are some of the raddest girls around today. And yes, the band features TWO percussionists!

EXPLODEINTOCOLORS = three weird aunts + basement party + drawing and sewing till our hands hurt but we keep on keeping on + lost mix tapes + lots and lots of dramedy. One of us currently plays with Kickball and some of us used to play in Thunder!Thunder!Thunder!, Hornet Leg, and Japanther. One of us sometimes dances with Janet Pants. We also make clothes, pictures of all kinds, videos, teach drums, and classify insects.

EIC SXSW shows are:
Mar 18 2010, 12:00P, KRS Day Party @ Cheer Up Charlies (ALL AGES)
Mar 18 2010, 10:00P, Wave Rooftop
Mar 19 2010, 2:30P, KXLU and Ol Factory Partay @ Domy Books
