That Petrol Emotion reunites at SXSW
Pop Culture Press will host the second American performance in 15 years by That Petrol Emotion, the British band that grew out of the Undertones. The party is at the Dog & Duck Pub on the afternoon of Saturday March 21. The band’s official SXSW showcase is Thursday March 19 at Elysium.
Last year, after some Undertones’ reunion work, the decision was made to reform That Petrol Emotion, too. But the band reconsidered and tried to cancel the gigs, only to find that one festival gig was under contract. To the band’s amazement, they drew 6,000 fans and, after a great show, they decided to take a reunion seriously.
Also playing the family friendly PCP party are the Handsome Family, Future Clouds and Radar, Irish buzz band General Fiasco and more.
